Following a suggestion from someone on the CANBus video from today, I've logged a new feature request to the INAV development team to, again, look at adding CANBus support - github.com/iNavFlight/inav/issues/11128 - if this is something you would also like to see, please add your comment below it.. The more interest, the more chance we will get it! :D Happy flying!

I've just seen the pre-release detail for the standalone ASCENT HD FPV unit from Caddx/Walksnail on their website. a HD FPV system for less than $36!! This is the same unit as is in the new PROTOS I looked at a few weeks back. caddxfpv.com/products/walksnail-ascent-lite-kit?af…

Huge list of RC Discount codes for Banggood: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hW1g2d4bYwIxFy2iAH…
As we run up to 'Black Friday' and the festive period I expect I will be sent lots of 'discount' codes and I will share them here on the channel. Check them out as there is a pretty big list of stuff and it may save you some cash.
Happy flying!

Some interesting detail on a recent issue where someone tried to trademark the name of a project in China. This is only one side of this story, but a good heads up for those who are creating something that will be used commercially.

I had a message today about how to connect the GPS to the new TBS AIO flight controller. If you follow the pads on the GPS and the pin-outs on the manual for the flight controller then it isn't too hard to figure out. Below is a diagram of how the production wiring loom would work with the TBS M10 GPS unit. Happy flying!

Quick note for those who've contacted me with issues with loss of HD FPV video on launch with the new TBS Chupito.
This appears to be due to voltage sag when launching. One of my Patreons has been playing with this and you can drop the max throttle for launch to 1750-1800 and it'll still launch easily on 6S but the voltage sag shouldn't be enough to restart your HD FPV kit!
Thanks to Patreon Richard for testing this with his... Happy flying!

Can you help? I've got this Goosky S1 Legend in to look at (it's the latest version that has the ability to be used with ExpressLRS!), but can't find any documentation that covers how to setup the radio and configure it for that.
Non of the videos I've watched address a number of key issues using ELRS.... CH5 is needed for ARMING ExpressLRS meaning that using that for a control for the Heli is a bad idea as in the LOW position ELRS is 'sleeping' and range and link performance is affected.
Plus, ELRS only sends the first 4 channels as 'full resolution' by default so using CH6 for pitch means that the pitch doesn't move smoothly but will 'jump' from value to value as the throttle moves - far from ideal.
Do you know where I can get the detail I need to setup ELRS well with this model? I've emailed Goosky as well...
(Goosky really need to work harder on their manuals for this stuff!)
