First motor spin today

A long way to go I know but getting there Managed to bind my transmitter and receiver after working out you have to hold the menu button for 3 seconds on my Tango 2 transmitter to get into the bind menu. If not you just get the “running” menus, only real head scratching moment so far.

Nice thanks for sharing, think binding is the devil I've mostly moved to using ELRS based TX and RX so can use password based binding and not have to figure out how to get the RX and TX into binding mode. Nice looking build, while in that motors tab make sure to check each individual motor and on the setup tab make sure the 3d model tilt corresponds to how you tilt the quad by hand, two really common things are either motors signal wires swapped or the board orientation wrong can cause things to flip out on first attempt to lift off. Speaking of that once get to point of testing with props on, suggest just use right stick at first once armed to see can tilt left right and forward/back on the ground without lifting off, once give it more throttle with left stick if anything is wrong can flip out and break things.

Thank you, flew a fair distance today for the first time. DJI O3 air unit records at 4K and the Goggles 2 (with the OSD) is 1080p. I’m in a club - Granite FPV and we had a meet up Cairnomount, lovely day for it. Hopefully spring is springing

Nice looks like a fun place to fly, pretty sure saw GPS module on your quad but might be worth scooping up a vifly v2 tracker or something similar in case ever crash out in the hills, the vifly can be bound to a switch input so can trigger it to start beeping and flashing it's brains out or will automatically go into that mode if loses main battery power (has small battery it charges from the main to be able to run for a while even if things suffer from rapid disassembly)
