Automatic Takeoff
Hold fly again to initiate automatic takeoff. Solo will rise to 10 ft and hover until receiving further control inputs.
Figure 4.2.2: Controller Auto-Takeoff Prompt
Manual Takeoff
Once the propellers are spinning, raise the throttle stick above the center position to increase Solo’s altitude and
take off.
4.3 Land
There are three options for landing Solo: manual, automatic, and return to launch. We recommend automatic landing
and return to launch.
Automatic Land
For auto-landing (recommended), press the Fly button in flight, and Solo will land at the current position.
Optionally, you can auto-land Solo at the home position using the controller’s return to home button. (See page 11
for more information about return to home.) After an auto-landing or return-to-home, the propellers will stop spinning
automatically; wait until the propellers stop spinning before approaching Solo.
Return Home
The return-to-home button ends your flight automatically by first returning Solo to the home position (launch point)
then auto-landing. The propellers stop spinning automatically after activating return-to-home.
When commanded to return to home, Solo:
1 Achieves minimum altitude of 50 feet or maintains current altitude if above 50 ft.
2 Moves to launch point and loiters for 5 seconds.
3 Lands at the home point, and the propellers automatically stop after a few seconds.

When commanded to auto-land, Solo will land at the current position
wherever it is. Always make sure there is a clear path to a safe landing
point directly below Solo before triggering an auto-landing.
