Rotorama Samurai 5 & RC Split Mini HD

This is my 3rd Samurai. After 2 totally destroyed ones I still need this one, despite its main weakness, which is also its strong point. Very thin frame/arms/body, very low weight. It flies simply amazing, nothing accelerates or gives hangtime like this guy.
This time I needed some changes though:

  • I upgraded the top beams, had them cut from light alloy with a bit more height to accomodate the HD-cam pcb
  • I wanted a built-in HD-cam, so I did choose the Split Mini 2 (should be called the V3 as it already differs again from the first V2).
  • Graupners super tiny RX; GR12L SUMD with diversity is a perfect match
  • Full size FC with built in VTX to save on height for the Runcam-PCB

And here is the maiden.

would you have any suggestions on how to set the vtx channel on the LDARC board?

Hi, this can be done via the transmitter in the Betaflight-OSD.

I have a spektrum transmitter, tried going into the VTX menu there and setting it with no sucess. I did have the video start working this mornign for a bit but it's gone again on reboot.

my scale is out of battery, but I guess it is 240g or slightly less. As soon as I have a better day here I will go for a flight incl HD-footage
