My second custom built quads which I initially used the Jhemcu GHF420AIO but the board burned which flashing the BLHELI firmware - still couldn't figure out why. As a result I repurposed the iFlight F7 board that I'd originally planned for another frame.
Following my preference for spray painting the frame, this Apex looks sharp with the neon orange paint and it fly great with Brotherhobby 2004 motors - managed to get 5min with moderate freestyle on 1300 4s.
