Easy cruising on 2S or really rip on 3S. HDZero system using original Runcam nano with upgrade lens .HAPPYMODEL 2.4G EXPRESSLRS EP1 RX is mounted under FC.

Resourced buzzer to pinio in Betaflight - use switch to control small led under baseplate. Makes it easier to find small quad in field when it is flipped over.
