Few weeks ago FPVmodel.com opened the pre-order for the new Betaflight F4 flight controller. It is the next generation of an F405 MCU based AIO flight controller and is finally in stock right now. The “processor” / MCU of the flight controller was upgraded to the STM32 F4, which runs at 168MHz compared to the

More than an year ago I published an article about the best Cleanflight flight controllers. I have listed a lot F1, F3 and some F4 flight controllers, which were available at the end of 2015. Meanwhile Betaflight is the more popular and developed firmware, which is used by most FPV pilots. The upcoming Betaflight 3.2

I have received the upcoming 2204 2300kv motors from LD-Power Technology as well as the new KISS flight controller, so decided to build a new quadcopter. Used parts: SG Acro carbon frame KISS flight controller LDPower FR2204 2300kv motors Matek power distribution board XRotor 10A ESC (BLHeli 14.3) FrSky D4R-II receiver KingKong 6×4 propeller I

As Cleanflight firmware is getting popular among the multirotor pilots, I wanted to make a summary of the flight controllers that can use it. The question is not anymore “Naze32 vs. CC3D”. At the end of 2015 there are more powerful flight controllers with additional features. All supported flight controllers use STM 32bit processors. Most

Nick Arsov, the developer of the AUAV-X2 autopilot, presented some time ago his new current and voltage sensor – the ACSP3. As I needed a power distribution board for my new SG Acro v1.1 quadcopter, I decided to give it a try. Details: Max Input Voltage (Vin) = 42V; So possibility of use a 10S

When I started with the Multicopters back in 2012, I used cable harness/power breakout cable to connect the ESC cables to the battery. Until last month I always used my self-made cable harness in my quadcopters. There were no problems during the flights and everything was just great. Last month I decided test a power
