First thrust tests on the 8000KV motor on 1S… Read More »

I opened a “broken” and no longer charging Lenovo Battery pack and removed the 6 Li-Ion Cells. They turned out to be 18650… Read More »

A quick test with the betaflight configurator revealed it was delivered with Cleanflight 1.13.0 (Cleanflight/SPRACINGF3EVO 1.13.0 Jun 6 2016 /… Read More »
