I think there is a setting in the transmitter (remote controller) that you have to switch to ibus. This is just a thought... I might be remembering it incorrectly. I have been on ibus/sbus for quite a while.. and I'm not around my Flysky transmitter to take a look at the moment.

Okay I've got the ground and positive wires soldered to the row on the outside row and the ibus wire soldered on the inside to "rx2". So I should just be able to go into BF config tab and turn on "uart 2" and be good to go? Am I doing something wrong here?
(The solder job looks crappy I know, once it's working I'll clean it up).

Okay the receiver and fcb are finally talking however another issue has popped up.
In betaflight where you can see a 3d of your quad and it's supposed to move the same way you move your quad?
When I move my quad to pitch up, the 3d image pitches down, and when I move it to pitch down the one on screen moves up.
I went ahead and tried to fly but that was a mistake. All it did was flip up into the air and crash.
How do you fix a pitch reversal? I've looked and found no answers.

Yes Jackson I've read the manual lol and I wish it was that simple.
I knew someone was going to suggest a channel reverse switch, however that is not the problem.
The problem is the flight control board thinks it's upside down, I don't know of any way to make it realize it's right side up.

Which way are you moving the stick?
If 'the flight control board thinks it's upside down' wouldn't all the controls be affected?

As far as I can tell all the other controls are correct except the roll pitch for forward/backward.
Photo:
As you can see the nose of my quad is pointing down in real life, but on screen the little 3d display is pointing up.
I haven't been able to fly it yet to check all the controls but only the forward/reverse (right stick roll) seems reversed.

Well I got the 40 amp escs with motors that pull 33amps. No babying here lol.I would not even bother to build anything if I had to "baby it" to keep it from frying ... lol ... my criteria is
if I can't "hammer down" non-stop with it then I don't want it.
Hover tested it with a few punches, HOLY MACKEREL this thing is FAST!
Like a rocket blasting off.
Expect a video in the "well did you fly today" thread in the next week or so.
