Revision 1: 9th/Oct/17

After a terrible crash as a result of forgetting to change my vTX from 0mW to the appropriate settings I've made various part swaps to this build.
The 4-in-1 ESC's were replaced with racerstar 30a discreet ESC's, and the camera was boosted to a Rotor Riot Runcam 2.

FPV transmitter and PDB intentionally left blank as my flight controller is AIO.

Ordered everything from Banggood on 28th/Aug, Shipped on 29th/Aug. Received in the mail on 15th/Sept.

Upgrades made since initial flight on 17th, Sept: Ordered Rotor Riot Runcam to replace crap quality non-branded FPV camera.

I realized I did a dumb and it seems there might not be a way to connect the rx I chose to this FC. Can anyone assist if you happen across this comment?

Did you check out the user manual on the product page for your FC.? Looks to me you can connect your RX using PPM.

Yep! I'll be set! Thanks a ton!

Are you using I-bus?
How is it wired?
Thanks

Thanks

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
