First micro build.

Things to watch out for:

  • Mamba F411 does not have on board memory, something I did not consider. Blackbox logging will require using openlog or an alternative :|
  • XM+ is not the easiest to fit. I had to route antennas through the middle of heatshrink

Very nice.  I'm curious how much yours weighs?  Its simpler and cleaner than mine.

Thanks!
FWIW, I swapped xm+ for an r-xsr (telemetry via fport is king!) and put hq 2.5x2.5x3 on it.
AUW of this setup with 450mah 3s GNB is 108g, craft itself is 65g.
