Graham if you rotate the board 90deg left or right it makes it heaps easier to get at the usb connector.
Then you tell the board it is rotated through the CLI.
I forget the command but I will look it up tonight after work.

I think it is
set align_board_yaw = 90 (or -90, depends which way you turn it)

There may even be a setting for this on the first or second page of the GUI now.

Thats what I do with all my CC3D boards. No fiddling with the usb cable, trying to get it in between the frames.
You may also find it allows you to plug in the ESCs without having to add extensions.
Did you ask for 90º header pins, or it just came like that.
Its looking good mate. Had a fly yesterday of mine. Crashed it three times, no damage.
Love these little buggers :)

@Lee i bought it that way:) @Stambo I have a lead that was used on the last one that was easy to fit as it is rigid, so never had an issue accessing the port.

My spare reciever a Spektrum AR6200 was knackered, so wont get airborne till new one gets here:(

Well i got one battery in the MK2 . The weather is dry but very cold and not good for my chest. However, using Stambo,s settings she flew well and very stable:) bit slow in yaw but that may be my DR/expo settings:)

No camera yet, but it should be here early in the week, at which point i will add a video:)

Good to see my settings worked ok for you.
I am constantly adjusting mine to try and get the smoothest possible video without sacrificing handling.
I may end up with the 3 profiles set for differing wind conditions and whether I am flying for video or sport.
