make sure you have the correct UART selected and make sure you have serialrx and spektrum2048 selected on the config tab

Yeah, out of the box it was on uart6. I tried changing the uart but same result. I ended up reflashing and all is well now. This thing is crazy smooth with WAY more punch then I ever thought! The stock pids seem ok, however they had the D's set really high @ 35/30 which im not sure why. Are you running stock pids or have you had the chance to dial it in?

Glad you got it running! Theres been some discrepancies as to which ones come built, which dont, and the configs that they come with. I had to do some serious dampening of my flight controller and got it mostly tuned in.... then I managed to fry a motor with some extremely aggressive LOS acro flying! So its on my desk for now!

GODSPEED your quad's recovery lol. If not to much trouble can you keep us posted here or youtube please? I will share my pids later this evening when I get home and attempt to re-tune

Thanks for the reply

There are a couple of 5v out pads that can be used. If you need direct voltage you can simply use the power pads on the F/C without a problem.

Ok thank you brother

Hey congrats!

If you mount your stack the direction I did, then you will have to compensate for it on the yaw axis. I believe it was 45 degrees. Another word of advice, use double sided tape to mount the stack into the frame. This isolates it enough so that you can use the full 8/8 refresh.

So far Ive clipped these a few and they arent showing any damage. I will admit though that they feel horribly off balance. Once I finish the review Im going to research other options.

@Dziabarra, what props do you recommend?

I'm using racerstar 2035. They're very nice when it comes to efficiency and power but are extremely fragile. So the pack of 20 is usually for a week or two: https://www.banggood.com/10-Pairs-Racerstar-2035-50mm-4-Blade-ABS-Propeller-1_5mm-Mounting-Hole-For-FPV-Racing-Frame-p-1127196.html

Try Gemfan 2035x4, the best for me

got em on order!

Any problems with voltage sag paired with these props?

I havent noticed anything. I get a solid 5 mintues of fun before landing around 3.7
