The 3 boards I've ever used are the Naze32 rev 5...now outdated. This new quad im building is a 770mm frame. Guesstimated weight of 5-6lbs. Most fc's that I see now are using Raceflight. Is there still a good and easy fc that can run 6S and Cleanflight or Betaflight?

Thanks for the link, Clay! I love GetFPV.com. They have great customer service! As for the KISS FC, I dunno if I wanna try that one. I've ready some awful reviews about that board catching on fire. I think you are the only one that I've heard of that likes it.

On the other hand, I just read a bunch of reviews on GetFPV and there were a lot of good things that were spoken about the new KISS board. It was a previous version of the KISS board that didn't do very well. So....I'll get the KISS flight controller ordered and we'll see what happens. Thanks Clay!!!

This is the one I use.. got it on both of my QAV 210s. One of them I am using the KISS ESCs running DSHOT and the other Castle running ONE SHoT 125.. both fly great.. I haven't had any issues with the KISS FC at all.. of all the controllers I've tried, it's the ONLY one that has given me "0" issues... and it was a breeze to set up. U may find it different tho.. I've read mixed reviews as well as great ones.. my wxpierwmce has been top notch tho.. I believe u'll like it.

At the Birmingham event, they set up a course right beside a retention pond.. I bumped the ground while on approach to a very low gate and she went in the water.. the LEDs stayed on! That's the only way I found it.. looked like a Christmas tree under water. I let it sit for 4 days and then plugged her in.. I think an ESC or a motor need replacing because it shutters on throttle and the motors get hot.. but she still flies.. lol
