Weight: 3.13g (no power cable included)

SPECIFICATIONS OF ESC

Power supply: 1S
Current: 5A continuous and peak 6A (3 seconds)

Something you should know to protect the ESC SMD ceramic antenna.

Recommend using BETAFPV Camera Canopy, which reserves sufficient space between Camera and ESC. Therefore, the SMD ceramic antenna will be protected very well.
Please make sure there is enough space between the camera and the antenna. If the camera position is too low, it will damage the antenna. So the whole FC should be reversed 180 degrees for installation and all motor positions should be reversed too.
The antenna shouldn't be exposed. It will be fragile without canopy protection.

Betaflight Firmware and CLI

Since Betaflight has not yet released the official firmware that could support the SPI ExpressLRS protocol, the current version is the Beta version. Please use the firmware and the CLI dump file below to recover the FC board if needed. Betaflight will update its official target soon. Please feel free to contact us if you have any issues with this Beta version Firmware.

It is normal that there is no option on Betaflight Configurator Receiver. As is shown below, the checkbox is blank.

Please change the “PID loop frequency” to “4KHZ” , sometimes it would make the SPI receiver not working correct while the value is “8KHZ”.

The firmware BTFL_4.3.0_BETAFPVF4SX1280_0265565fa uses external GPIO interrupt triggers to process ELRS data reception, increasing the stability of the signal link. Now it can perfectly support LiteRadio 2 SE 500Hz link and modify the accuracy of signal strength.

The new CLI file is named BTFL_cli_F4 5A ELRS_NEW. Please check.

Note: This firmware supports only ELRS 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.2.1.

really good, one nit

I've been racing with these boards for a few months, and overall I really like them. I was running BF 4.3 RC3, and have started updating them to RC5. Overall they fly well.

My only complaint is that they seem overly susceptible to "drunk gyro", so they sometimes don't fly well after crashing into a gate. I'm hoping that's something that can be addressed in firmware vs hardware - if so I'd give it 5 stars for sure!
