Awesome! Yah not sure on the futaba radio config in general you put the transmitter into airplane mode to send the "right" things for each stick on receiver tab in betaflight if sticks appear to move the wrong thing can change the channel map in there usually it is TAER1234 or AETR1234...

Very very long story short you want to get the BLHeliSuite 32 desktop app https://github.com/bitdump/BLHeli/tree/master/BLHeli_32%20ARM https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Y1bUMnRRolmMD_lezL0FYd3aMBrNzCig Chrome apps I believe can no longer access USB devices since they have deprecated...

Huh very weird... on the setup tab does the image of the quad look level when it is in fact sitting on a level(ish) surface? If not hit the calibrate accelerometer button on that setup tab and hit save after a few seconds (should show it is calibrating for a few seconds then numbers should 0...

Yah looks like either the antenna on VTX is somehow disconnected (might be the mmcx or other connector itself on the VTX PCB that came loose this can sometimes happen). Other thing is looking back at your images your VTX looks strapped pretty hard to the CF which is mostly fine but generally...

Your antenna may be bad or badly connected (if only getting about 20ft sounds like not really connected) make sure the antenna is well secured. Also any radio transmission is a two sided thing there is the transmitter and the receiver (or if two way/bidirectional there are two transceivers...

Looks like those vimeo links disappeared for some reason before I saw this but in general if you don't see OSD that means the video signal is jumping past the FC or otherwise the FC isn't able to add the OSD onto the display. Really what happens here is the camera gets analog video signal...

Regarding the SD card for 4k I've just ordered them on Amazon but not sure if there are better places locally or online. Racedayquads.com or getfpv.com are my two gotos for parts already in the US and had good support from rdq when some small mostly user created issues came up. Between the two...

Yah generally people or mfgs will put a "low esr" capacitor on the power input from the battery it helps reduce ripples in the voltage from the ESCs opening and closing "gates"/mosfets to power the motors. When actually "loaded" (props on and flying) there is more current draw to the motors so...

More power output can be bad because of the multi-path reflection and makes it worse because then just higher energy reflections that "look" more like valid good signals. When it comes to quads they do go through a lot of abuse so adding a bit of padded foam or thick double sided tape under...

Yah really depends what you're asking here you mean like a 4k camera or something high res or you mean like an FPV camera (basically repurposed security/ccd or CMOS based camera) with lower res but typically higher frame rate. For FPV cams you can easily get one for $50...

Hey no problem glad your making progress on it. If you have a vtx and fpv/goggles of some sort then can use the on screen display option to see any warnings or errors it's getting. If it thinks throttle is above 0 or things aren't staying level enough or a few other things can stop it from...

I'd say it's less nausea inducing than you'd expect when flying. I still make myself dizzy sometimes or my head bobbles around cause my brain is so much in the craft and no longer paying much attention to my body, it is a real out of body experience. First time with goggles on is disorienting...

It's hard to explain but basically you have a yellow tick mark you'll see move when you move the switch (assuming right aux channel is chosen for the given switch, or choose auto and move a switch to get it to automatically pick the aux channel for a given mode). Once you see where the yellow...

Also I'm not a radio expert, I'm a CS major (got a BS back in 2009 and just grinding since then) and just have an interest in these things for hobbies but I also made this alexa skill for studying up on taking the HAM test it will tell you the correct answer if you get a quiz question wrong and...

In general matching antenna are a good thing so think you'll probably get some improvement in the video signal by having same on both the VTX and the video receiver. The diversity antenna is most helpful I think when using a mix of patch and omni so you get pretty good local reception all...

Assuming the right thing moves in receiver tab for a given stick then should be good there (also when throttle at 0 it should read 1000 and with throttle at max it should read 2000, exactly right doesn't matter but should be +/- like 50 from those values). Other thing to check is in the modes...

For motor direction usually wire swap is easier honestly but if want to update the esc firmware or mess with config details it's an option.

Yah can change it with blheli suite it will use the FC to jump into escs and can reflash or change the esc settings from there. Look for BlSuite32 the blheli configurator is no longer working I think due to chrome limiting usb access for apps but anyhow look for the regular desktop app not the...

Okay so this is a doozie: https://www.rc.futaba.co.jp/english/dl_manual/6k_e.pdf ^^ check out pg 38 there it has the info about setting the mode on the receiver itself and says essentially (long story short) if you put it in "Mode B" then the Ch6/S.BUS one, not the S.BUS2 will be the one you...

Honestly coin toss on these two :) they both seem good enough and will likely almost deliver on the specs they claim. I would probably go holystone if were my cash but only because I've bought a couple of holystone toy grade ones in the past and helped get me into the hobby so sort of nostalgia...
