Nice to see someone give Matek a run for their money.

SpeedyBee had so many orders of these in the first 3 days, they can't even handle all the orders! Mine are coming soon and I can't wait to have a closer looka and to test them!

Plug in JST connectors are clean, great and neat. More and more FCs got into the wagon. Happy to participate:)

Well done Andrew, first to fly this new FC from Speedybee....Video link was very clean....Matek, take note....and the price is a no brainer....😮😮😏😏🇬🇧

I have one on pre order....😮😏😏🇬🇧

Great review. It's an easy decision when they have both iNav and Ardu options. Very smart design. I've got SpeedyBee on my quads. Nice boards, no issues so far. I would expect the same from the wing version.

Looks like a great board for a great price

I got 3 of them being delivered tomorrow😊

Nice new in the infamous. I was a bit surprised that one made the cut. Looks to fly well. Redeemed at last. Thanks for including the the review and the flight together. And ELRS too.

I have always liked the Rambler itself. Kept is as a good example of the swept forward wing style.

no one has done a complete build of this FC only videos so far ive seen are the FC Itself and After Its Installed.. Im sure people want a follow along build video. i might do one and be the first.

Many thanks Andrew for your perfect review so i just ordered one today ! Will be mounted on a modified Bird (Eagle...) looking Vtail parkflyer with pylon mounted brushless and 1.4 M wingspan sligthly carbon reinforced for the extra onboard HD FPV (Firefly Q6) + analog TX TS 832. I plan ton install Arduplane thought since not familiar with Inav and I love the advanced functions of Ardupilot although the RAM on the board is lower than regular Arducopter rigs such as ProfiCNC Cube series. Anyway I'll share the results once completed which is scheduled first quarter 2024 due to other projects that needs to be delivered. Cheers 😀

Interesting video! First of all, thank you very much. I also use the board and have a problem with the ETC. My ETC only starts to let the motor turn when I have throttle at half position. I suspect that since the ETC is already powered when the battery is plugged in and the FC is still booting, the problem arises. If I use the ETC normally with a normal receiver, the problem does not exist.

ESC? Needs to be calibrated in INAV. You can use the Outputs tab if you select Live Mode and use the slider.

Thanks for the video. Were you intentionally switching between OSD 'presets' (going from a cluttered/informative display to almost nothing displayed at around 11:03)? Did you map that function to a radio channel within the FC board or is that an iNav setting? Seems like a useful function, unless that was an error with recording to the black box while simultaneously displaying the OSD. I'm also wondering which antennas you were using for your Eachine vtx and goggles, if not the stock ones. Thanks

On the led ports, is it capable of letting the fc address the leds? If so, does each port do a specific number range of leds or does each leg have a data in and data out that are chained together in order? Not finding much info on it, I may just hook it up and do some testing

I just received the two I ordered and where I have zero issues getting my other FC to connect on my PC using betaflight or inav. I'm unable to get either of the speedybee fCs to connect. I had zero issues getting the three boards connected to each other as well as the remote buzzer/usb board connected. Both fc's light up and buzzer initiates if enable they just are not detecting as a usb device. Strangely enough the first FC i opened had a jumper on the esc board connectors I had to remove before being able to connect to the other board where the secound fc had no jumper that had to be removed. I really have no clue whats going on with them or why one had a jumper and the other did not.....s

Also all the lights for the battery indicator was just continuously flashing but voltage was showing in inav , just trying to understand what I mite of done wrong… many thanks 🙏
