In this configuration I was getting about 2 and a half minutes. In the lighter Housefly configuration I gained about 30 seconds.

Thanks! This frame is smaller. It has a 59.5mm wheelbase.

This build is running an FS-RX2A pro receiver. I already had the RX wired up to the FC from another build, so I just transferred it over to this frame.

Thats not bad at 1g...

Normally, I'd prefer to use an AIO FC to avoid the extra wiring and its associated mass. Unfortunately, BetaFPV has not (recently) provided support for EU fliers by failing to release LBT firmware for the AIO FC / Receivers. For me this is an issue of being able to fly legally vs dumping LBT for the FCC Taranis firmware.

To be honest, it pisses me of that the 3 BetaFPV FC's i have, all lack LBT support.

All of the AIO boards with integrated RX's I've ever owned had limited range, so I just started using boards with no RX and adding my own.

Its not a range issue but a lack of Taranis firmware support for me. Unfortunately this is something that BetaFPV is both aware of and has decided to do nothing about.

Note: I dont fly more than 100m away so range has never been a consideration.

Just look at some of BetaFPV's 2S FC's and then dig into what they really support vs the marketing hype. It will surprise you to see what they've failed to support.

All the same thought... i really like your little quad.

Thanks, and that makes sense why you'd be irritated with them. I'll have to look into it.
