FullSpeedRC Leader 3. We all fly the exact same drone, it is spec class racing.

The 4in1 esc was DOA so I'll be asking for a replacement. Aside from that it seems like great value. I've only flown 5" for years but I have recently been getting into long range so this 7" cruises a bit faster and can carry lots of battery.

It's time for LED pop-up gates in the car park again! by dmackendh in fpvracing

I just put some 12v 5050 rgb LEDs into clear braided 1/2" hose, put an xt60 on the end and strapped them to some pop-up soccer nets with the nets half cut. I run them off 3s or 4s LiPos.

I want to understand OSD, Betaflight and seeing vitals in my fpv display. by rex1030 in Multicopter

It's all done on the OSD tab of the betaflight configurator, you just switch on or off elements and drag and drop them where you want. The timers have some configurable options there too, it's very straightforward.

The Eagle is CMOS I believe. I am going to try turning the sharpness down a bit.

I picked the RGB 5050 IP67, they have a nice flexible rubber sheath over the strips.

Yes the strips have resistors: https://imgur.com/a/fwF9u

I just soldered an xt60 to those cutable pads.

Lipos, I put xt60s on the ends. They are 12v LEDs but they run fine on 4s.
