Specs and Links in the description! Before your frames arrive it seemed a good idea to put a build guide together. This second frame is going to be an HD build which is the more challenging of the two builds.
Well, it's been a long 7 weeks of work and travelling for me, but this little guy has kept me going.
I'm almost home.. I hope you're all still there? I've missed you guys! NJ :)

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, almost no wind, warm and blue skies. To top things off my flying pal CarmoFPV is BACK!! So we hit our first training session of the year. Apart from just loving what betaflight 4 has done for this 6 inch Archon V1, the set up is just so damn efficient. This means im flying for at least 6 minutes, and that really counts when you're working on stuff. I did a whole series on this build if the larger birds tempt you, you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t30G2pwsj2w

Well it has to be said, betaflight 2.8.1 has put a huge smile on my face! Boris/ctsnooze have seriously nailed it with this release. This afternoon i forced myself out to fly despite the wind gusting to 12 knots, and im so glad i went, because i could hardly believe how well this version handled it!
Huge thanks to my sponsor F1PVtech.com for the awesome HD camera mounts i love! Go buy one right this second!!

This has not been officially confirmed by emax, but i have heard directly from a few vendors that Emax have been in touch with them about recalling these ESCs because of a bug that's causing them to rest in flight. This is just a heads up, if you have recently purchased a set of these, i strongly suggest getting in touch with your vendor to discuss whether you need to RMA yours.

It's been a long time of messing about with bi-blades on a 6 inch quad, like tuning the vibes out, all for THAT sound and that efficiency! Now it's dialled i just love it :) It still feels a little odd to me and i'm getting used to it but its such a flow machine!
