It was time to build a 3" and I wanted to put my Split Mini in it. I wanted range and fly time. Almost got a Switchback, but I'm trying to build every Falcon Multirotors frame. All I needed to adapt it was a couple longer screws for the camera and a couple bits of tubing. As of right now I've gone as far as 3km and as long as 9 minutes. I'm very happy with this frame, motors, props, pack, rx, fc, really the whole build. Everything came together to give me a perfect micro "long" ranger,backyard derper, and permanent home for my Split Mini :) AUW w/ 850 3s = 202g, w/ 1300 3s = 241g, Dry = 121g

In late 2019 DJI made inroads into the FPV scene with their remarkable low-latency digital system. It gave us a 720p video feed with latency on-par with the status quo, analog video. Traditionally we've used analog video systems for low-latency video, but the video quality is far from ideal. It's a trade-off we've been willing to accept for the control. Now we've got the best of both worlds and what..

When the FatShark HDOs hit the market in 2018 the FPV community rejoiced for the new Sony OLED displays. While they lacked further upgrades like an updated DVR and power button they were still a market success. With the 2019 announcement of the Orqa FPV.One the community finally had a potential HDO killer on the horizon. With only weeks before the release of the Orqa FPV.One Skyzone came out of left..

What a nice build! Isn't that Slim+ with two antennas a pain in the butt? I just finished a very similar build.
Are you using Taranis X7 with R9M? I am stuck on 10mW power, the radio skips over the power level in the model setup. I can't change it. I am pretty sure I have the latest firmware. Thanks!
Woah. that's a weird bug! did you make sure to update the module firmware and opentx to the latest versions? Maybe hit up the R9 user group on fb. Haven't heard of this one before.
The two antennas weren't too bad. Just had to get a little creative. Worth it for strong signal at just about any orientation.
Upgrade to OpenTX 2.2RC4 solved the issue. Thanks!
Btw, I am pleasantly surprised by the performance of R9 mini and it has just one antenna! That's plenty given the 5.8 video range.
