The Board was very easy to set up , All done on my Mac .
Flies great with this motor and esc combo .
Made some adjustments and got it much more responsive , still tweaking it though

Great to here the mac version has worked for you. I am sure the OP boys will be made up.

Any tips on the set up. Ill be starting my build this week when my motors turn up

A few tips , load correct firmware lol ,, Im supposed to be a veteran and being excited with the new board and using Spektrum gear I selected spektrum firmware so this meant the receiver being PWM was not recognised. It is for Spektrum satellite Silly me ..
So load correct firmware ... 2nd the stock settings are very tame but this is a awesome board , so turn up angle limits a bit at a time and inner loop to get it how you like it , I havent gone too far with settings , but once Angle limits tweaked and turned up inner loop I got it pretty much how I like it .
The GCS is very easy to use and well laid out and it is no suprise this board is out of stock everywhere.
Just hope they have some more soon as I have a Dex frame waiting for one .
