Rather than detail the build, I wanted to highlight the parts that took the most thought / time.
The frame arrived with 2 left titanium frame sides but on sending through pictures, Armattan sent the right part by overnight post. Good service. I chose to use some of the Taco-RC TPU parts for antenna / VTx holder and bumper ... so didn't use the standard Armattan antenna components.
The 4-in-1 and FC combo from Hobbywing I have used before. It has flown a lot with no issue so far .. but why ... why the plug for 10V, video and UART6. I would MUCH rather have the solder points for a cleaner build.
This was my first non-Runcam camera and I am happy with the colours so far. I do need to tweak to get rid of some of the digitisation effect though.
The VTx is a TBS Unify Pro HV which I had to source from eBay as everyone else was out of stock but it wired up easily and does exactly what it says on the tin. Add a Axii mini and the installation is neat and solid with the TPU mount.
An easy build .. but a little tight at the back with a non-nano VTx.
Flown with stock Betaflight 4 settings and my own preferred rates, it flies well (well enough for me anyway).
This wasn't the cheapest build but it is solid "out the box" and I have confidence in the parts from experience.
Feel free to ask any questions ... happy to help out.
Sorry about the lack of pictures BTW.
