All in One BetaflightF3 Flight Controller

BetaflightF3 is the flight controller designed to use every possible feature of Betaflight. More than the last half year has been spent by team FPV Model and Betaflight  in development. Boris B has worked with us to go over features and design aspects to help give us insight into what betaflight users want/need. 

This board features a 3A power draw giving users extra room for added attachments through uart ports. The six layer PCB is a more expensive design approach but was needed to give the ability to have a PDB that was capable of having wiring pads on both the top and bottom of the board. By using the six layer design we were able to increase the size of the pads and work around all the components all the while giving esc connections in the corners of the board rather than bunching all connections on either the top OR the bottom. Featuring a fully functioning OSD that can be configured in Betaflight this board will make configuring your OSD a breeze.

The team at betaflight have been hard at work developing DSHOT and this board is also compatible with the latest release. But we didn’t stop there, this board also features a micro adapter to accept TF cards for those of you that like to follow up your flights with reviewing black box logging...we think we know of at least one guy that will like that.

X-Racer F303 Flight Controller Released

FPVModel.com is happy to annouce that the X-Racer F303 flight controller is newly released. X-Racer was designed for the serious racer. We have followed the idea of simplicity and kept the basic rugged design of servo style pinouts so you dont have to worry about the fragility of plastic connectors in a crash.

This X-Racer flight controller only comes in one version...ACRO! This is not a flight controller that is designed to fit the needs of everyone, it is a flight controller designed to fit the needs of racers and free style flyers. 

X-Racer backed by FPVMODEL's reputation giving you a flight controller you can trust. 

FEATURES:

• Built in high capacity black box featuring 16mb flash memory. This will allow you to store an entire days worth of flights while you are out in the field burning through multiple batteries and flights. Next generation F3 processor for efficient flight calculations and those lower loop time youve been reading about. 
• The size of the flight controller follows the form thats so typical in all the others allowing you to mount to the majority of the frames out on the market without the need of changing mounting holes on most base plates. 
• 8 PWM I/0 lines for ESCs and added options you may choose. 
• Supports Sbus, SumH, SumD, Xbus, PPM, PWM recievers but has a recommended and weight saving direct connection specifically for Sbus, which is our recommended connection for flight control. 
• Buzzer port for audible lost model location. 
• Convienent pin outs for easy, reliable soldering. 
• Only available in Acro style, no barometer or magnetometer.

SOFTWARE:

The X-Racer flight controller runs on the open source Cleanflight software and its compatible with the Boris B. Betaflight firmware. The hex file to use is spracingf3 hex. 

WARNINGS:

Failure to adhere to these warnings will void your warranty and destroy your flight controller.

• Observe polarity at all times. Double check all connections before applying power. It is very common for users to accidentally reverse polarity, try not to let it happen to you. 
• After double checking all connections its a good idea to triple check connections...positive to positive, negative to negative. 
• Make certain all channel inputs match corresponding outputs or else undesired flight characteristics will happen. 
• Keep magnets away from flight controller.
