Geprc 5040 props: oscillation.
Dalprop Cyclone 5045C: clean flight (about 6min).

This frame is a littlebit heavy. My build is low profile, with micro cam.
Micro swift 1 cam has no settings cable...

I had problems with R9M/R9Slim on EU LBT fw "25mW telemetry" mode: random failsafe.
On "500mW" its ok, but there is no telemetry in this mode, so i can't see rssi.
