Eclair 3K 2"

This is basically a redux of my Lantian 90 build. After I built the Lantian I found that the FrSky receiver that came with the Eachine Minicube stack seemed a bit flaky, and I wanted to get something with diversity. I promptly smashed up AIO VTX/Camera because of the reciever losing connection. I decided that I would go the route I had originally intended and get the Eclair 3k + RunCam Micro Swift 2. I de-soldered the old FrSky receiver and reused the FC/ESC, pairing it with a new FrSky XSR-M receiver. For the VTX I got the Eachine ATX 03 because it's the same price as the Eachine VTX 03 but comes with audio (I like having audio and want the option to add a mic).

Using dshot commands with betaflight 3.2.0-RC5 for the beeper so I don't have to solder one on and take up more room.

Can you see your props when you're flying with this 2" frame? I noticed the props appear in the bottom corner of the screen with the Eclair 2.5" frame.
