Build a 7" Freestyle Quad - Part 6: Easy Setup - EdgeTX Models and Betaflight Modes

[@ObligedTester]

Very nice video series. Thanks for sharing! I'm planning to finishing my 5" "Martian 220" build that has been on the shelf for many years now. Coming back, looks like alot changed when it come to the electronics. This FC in your video seem to be readly available in my area, so i lean to this in the V4 version, eventhough the brand get mixed reviews here and there. But this is pretty standard in the RC-world I would say. Something that I find a bit confusing with the FCs, is what firmware they run. This looks to have a separate app, but also can be configured with betaflight? So I guess it runs betaflight firmware?

Thanks for watching and asking some questions. I would choose the v4 today. There was a small issue with v3 that has been fixed in v4. This FC can use 2 different firmwares (betaflight and iNav). All firmwares use a separate app to flash and configure the firmware. Betaflight configurator (github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/releases) or inav configurator (github.com/iNavFlight/inav-configurator/releases). Betaflight also has an online configurator (app.betaflight.com/) that works the same as the standalone configurator. If you are just starting or coming back, I'd suggest sticking to Betaflight. It is more popular and so there is a lot more information and help available. iNav is very good, just not as popular, so there is a bit less help/info available. Hope this helps. Ask more if you need. Eric
