Nearly a year after buying the frame - I now have a flying X-Class!

I wanted to fly one ever since I saw a few X-Class videos but wanted to make sure I was not skipping too many steps so built a powerful 10" acro in the spring - and then spent the summer learning about tuning it...
I learned a lot in the process so hoping tuning this one will not take as long!

Despite having watched many videos - they look a lot bigger in real life. I have it set so that I can fairly easily swap the arm tubes for shorter ones but I want to get it sorted as a proper 800mm X-Class first.
I did put some very conservative filters and pids for the first flight (loads of horror stories of AM32 and 12S not working well together and did see a few desync at very low throttle on the bench) but it all went very smoothly so starting to slowly push the gains now.

The power/torque is quite something - as well as the sense of inertia. It feels like a big step up even from the 10" I built - and the sound is quite something too :)

AUW is 4.420 kg with two SMC 6700mAh 6S batteries
