First Build, Tight fit but it fit with minimal effort. I ended up running a piece of electrical tape tightly through the larger gaps in the top of the frame and "soft mounted" the vtx to it. Receiver is held the electrical tape on the bottom side of the vtx with a piece of double sided sticky foam (don't know what else to call the stuff) . It feels much more solid than it sounds, not expecting this to cause any issues when in flight.

waiting on the 4s batteries, setup in betaflight went well. may go to a local shop and get a 4s to play around with until my indestructible quads batteries arrive

Also - price came out to less than listed - motors were discounted with purchase of the frame on amazon, IA6C Receiver came with the Turnigy Evolution, Props had a slight discount for purchasing 7 sets. Not much difference but some of those discounts considered when choosing parts.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
