I don't think its available yet.where can i get a instruction manual for the 3DR solo?
that's what i was afraid of.I don't think its available yet.
I agree, solo is one step ahead of the Phantom now.Hope you never have to live through a flyaway. At least with the 3DR, everything is recorded. I suspect there is a reason DJI didn't go that route with the P3. Easier to blame the pilot with no evidence. Saying the 3DR is in the same class as the P2 is just silly fan boy talk. I wish you the best of luck because if your phantom ever flies away, without the flight data, you will need it.
Hmm ... Solo doesn't even have a release date and there is very little information on how it performs.I agree, solo is one step ahead of the Phantom now.

The first P3s have been shipped from the factory and plenty of people have been able to test them and report on how they performed.
So how exactly is the Solo one step ahead?
Hobbyist are looking for modularity and DFE (design for expansion) to continue their tinkering, modding, and customizing .
The SOLO seems to represent those notions with an 'expansion bay' and open-souce code.
(Aside for the seemingly proprietary battery)
The Pixhawk's 4 on board sensors:
>MPU6000- main accel and gyro
>ST Micro 16-bit gyroscope
>ST Micro 14-bit accelerometer/magnetometer
>MEAS barometer
provide redundant gyros and accelerometers.
DJI has decided to close-off the Phantom's ecosystem making it difficult going forward for hobbyists to experiment but is GREAT for photogs or folks who just want the ease of an RTF flying camera.

But true.Now that was funny.....

Plenty in here ... http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2384430&highlight=phantom+3Do you have any links that show people out there testing the P3? I've googled it, and haven't found anything. I really would like to see the P3 in action.
A friend brought over his 3DR Iris Plus the other day and I had the chance to fly it. It was very windy and I would not have launched a Phantom in those conditions. He said the Iris would be fine and he was right. It was rock solid. I was very impressed with the Android app. It was easy to set waypoints The transmitter was very nice as well it had telemetry and voice notifications, 9 channels and was programmable.
I have had two Phantoms. I have built three quads and one hexcopter using NAZA controllers. I have had four flyaways, all recovered. After flying a quad with the Pixhawk controller, I will never use another NAZA.
I am sure the Solo will be awesome. I just wish it did not have a proprietary battery. I may buy one after they have been out for awhile.
