Have they even delivered the gimbal fkr the solo yet?
VERY confusing. Soooo, 3DR still has a place in Mexico ??? They just farmed out the Solo from China ??? I hope they get things worked out, but I fear all this Solo stuff will hurt their reputation. Pretty big screw up in my opinion. I like 3DR, own 3 Iris+, and configuring an F350 with an older APM 2.6 A BIG step up from the Naza Lites I used to swear by, or at, sometimes! I dunno, maybe I just like to root for the underdog!

@Marsaa If you hang around DIY Drones (http://diydrones.com) you can find a very interesting thread from competent design people already complaining about some clear design issues with the PH2. I'm not sure what to make of it at this point but I found it a little disheartening. Hopefully 3DR will listen and address these issues before they go into FS production, but at this point in time I'm doubting. It's bumming me out because I'm a big 3DR (well, ArduCopter/APM) fan.
If anyone wants I'd be more than happy to post the aforementioned link.

I think 3DR has some internal issues.
I have tried 5 times now to purchase an X8 copter and a bunch of other gear.
Banks have been black listing 3dr and their guys are taking 3 days to respond to email issues.
I cleared their transactions with my bank, but they still have not taken the money. Its been a full 2 months of messing around now.
I think I'll just have to live with the HobbyKing knock off of the PixHawk. At least they actually sell me stuff.

I just ordered one of these kits, last night. Seems like a pretty good price for knock offs.

Some of 3DR's web pages are a little outdated too! This one for "ready to fly" models, doesn't even include the Solo ????

Well Ok. In my experience there I have found a lot of people who have helped me interpret log files. Also, it's a great source of info (blogs) related to new hardware/software WRT APM and Open Source. Yeah, it has its trolls, but show me a forum that doesn't?that's a great forum if your stuff works. if it doesn't and you actually try to ask about it you have a 50/50 shot someone will help vs. flaming you for being a fool.

Actually, THIS forum has been fairly devoid of trolls
But you're right - there are always all kinds on these forums. And it can make it tough sometimes to gather what seems like simple answers sometimes.
@cootertwo - I do find it a bit strange that the web site is not updated. Seems that would be step 1 for both a tech company and a company looking to succeed in sales

I don't know of a troll here. there have been a few over the years but we generally address them pretty quickly and ask that they go elsewhere.
We love to help and it's great when we can offer a service to a user group by attracting and retaining knowledgeable people simply by being a great community to be involved in.
