My second build! I have put my Tadpole thru the ringer. Broken arm, poorly functioning VTX. It has lived a good life. But now that some friends have joined the hobby it was time to think again about the switch to HD. Peer pressure is a bitch. This build was because I thoiught I should hurry up and do something before nothing can be bought from China any more. It was definately a lot of work trying to learn new things. ELRS, DJI firmware matching....Betaflight upgrades. The easy part about this bulid was assembling and soldering. The rest, took me much longer. And I really do think it came out SUPER nice and clean. It flies well, but is not too much of a beast. Still, I think I will want to build a 2.5 for the backyard and keep this one for ripping it up where there is more space.
