TBS Tinywhoop

Butterflight 3.5 is installed.
TBS Crossfire Nano receiver is connected to FC via TX and RX port so that LUA can be used for FC setting from the transmitter.
Also TBS Unify Pro Nano's smart audio port is connected to TBS Crossfire Nano RX's port4 in order to change VTX setting from the transmitter via LUA.

Possible upgrade with Betafpv OSD no receiver FC with resource mapping mod (to change PPM port to TX port for the Crossfire Nano receiver) and TBS Tiny Camera.
But for now I like the lower profile and lighter setting of this build, so won't change for a while.

Hey! I'm trying to connect Crossfire Nano with Betafpv f3 brushless - can you provide more details about this mapping mod? By any chance it will allow to properly use Rssi or LQ back to my TX?

SORRY I haven't done that mod yet. It is just my imagination now...

Thanks for response! Actually did that with soldering spare wire directly to usart2 TX and connected that to CH2, on-board RX to CH1 and rest was just casual CRSF config. All works fine and I am able to read LQ.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
