Notes

  1. Edges of frame pieces should be sanded to avoid wear in wiring.
  2. ImmersionRC transmitters aren't well suitable for this frame due to size issues.
  3. A BEC will need to be used as some components can't be powered directly from a 4S battery.

Wiring

  • The FC image is from an older revision and doesn't have VBAT, RSSI and Current pins visible
  • The Rctimer Voltage & Current Sensor
    • Isn't big enough to work as a PDB, a separate PDB was used
    • Has a voltage divider that needs to be bypassed
  • Corona R4FA-SB provides RSSI as PWM signal but Betaflight 2.8.1 lacks the ability to read the signal if SBUS is enabled, a LC filter connected to the status led was used instead
  • ESCs have been left out from the picture on purpose
  • No direct wire soldering to FC was used
