FETtec F7 FC & FETtec 45a ESC
Enjoy this nice flight with the Fettec'd Apex and some good music...
Important Information:
Do NOT power FC from esc AND apex regulator. Depin amd remove VBAT and GROUND wires that are at the end of the FC/ESC harness. When using a Regulator Board make sure to power the FC from the regulator only. (I use harness so I can switch between Onewire and Dshot using the GUI.
Depin Ground wire from harness that leads from regulator to fc. (You can also skip this part and leave the ground as is and just add a 2nd ground wire from the FC to OSD) 
Ground the FC to the ImpulseRC OSD board (Use Ground pad on GPS side of OSD) (You can also skip this part and leave the ground as is and just add a 2nd ground wire from the FC to OSD to dave time and pain on trying to depin. )
Also on the ImpulseRC OSD I bridge the vTx Control and Audio Out pads so i can have both Smart Audio and the ability to hear the Audio as well.
And here you have a beautiful FETtec Apex!
Spike Abosrber and Capacitor
For this I used a WaFl cap to place on the capacitor and ran wires from the esc to the spike absorber. Then ran wires from the spike absorber to the WaFl Cap. (MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE THAT CAPACITORS HAVE A + and - )

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

hi,
thx for the build details. but i dont understand, why you depin the ground that leads from the regulartor board to the FC? you power the FC from the Regulator Board correct? so you connect the VCC and Ground from the Kiss Wireharnes to the left side of the FC?
as i understand, you connect the Ground from the GPS OSD Board to the white connector to the FC. the ground from GPS of the OSD Board should be the same like the one which goes from the regulator board to the OSD board? so you should keep the ground from the Regulator Board to the FC instead of connecting the OSD Board GPS-Ground to the fc. (sorry for my bad english not my native language)
thanks,
best regards.
PS: nice flight man!
hey man. so when you run the impulserc osd board with fettec fc there is sometimes some issues where toy get "no connection to fc" and reads no values. This was an issue me and a large group of the community who fly that osd board and the regulator with the fettec fc. Alexander Wolf (the developer and creator of the board) found a solution that works every time. This solution was to ground th FC to the impulserc osd board on the gps ground pad.
This was a solution given by him to everyone who runs fettec fc woth his impulserc osd boards. This information can be found in the ImpulseRc flyers community in facebook.
Thanks man! I need to get out more. New parent, job, and university takes up so much time.
thanks for the quick response. i just ordered parts for my first kiss build. never used it before im very excited.
what if you wire it up like usual and connect an additional ground from the osd board to the fc. have you tried this? would be much easier than rippin apart the harnes.
time is always the biggest problem for so many hobbies. but keep it in the air dude. ;)
hahaha oh man even we as experienced seasoned pilots tend to overlook simple things like that and Im goad that you pointed that out. YES you definitely can do that and now you mentioned that i recommend all to do this to save time depinning. That and an extra ground never hurts. I will edit my build instruction now with words in the parenthesis stating this.
haha. nice. never even seen an fettec board but already improof the wiring. hihi. thx fot your help. realy appreciate teh contact with you. will comment you in my build description on social media. DM me your insta if you like.
