My own version of Tadpole 3 using a 20x20 Brainfpv Radix LI. i didn't like the 20x20 fc mount included in the tadpole frame so I just replaced the FC mount using my old R249 Diatone Plastic FC cover as a base, then double sided it on the bottom plate.

How are flight times?

How do you like it on 4s? I have a similar build and its great on 3s.

Nice 20mm conversion. The overall weight didn't suffer from the bigger stack.
I have mixed feelings about radix Li. I didn't get the hang of how to tune with graphics instead of blackbox.

usually i just use the default PIDs and settings on the radix on all of my built. I'm pretty satisfied with it. for this build i only noticed of the prop wash during a big split-s recovery which is mostly pilot error.
