I have this Apex 5” with the 60a hobbywing stack and vista that I would like to fly on the new Betaflight update. Before I go and test fly this has anyone had issues with this new update ? I have read a few stories about quads that started disarming or wouldn’t disarm so I’m a little worried. Usually I wait to see if any issues show up in other people that are testing this new update but this is my beater quad so I figured what the heck. Thank you for any advice or suggestions.

RC 3 !?? I’m still gonna wait..

Only you can really decide if you want to take the risk or not. I suggest you have a look through the Betaflight issues list at the link below and see if you are happy to run a firmware with all the issues that are still showing as outstanding, or which are supposedly fixed but haven't yet made it into the latest Betaflight 4.3.0 release candidate.

Ok… I’ll play it safe and down grade till they get it figured out. Do I go back to the old 10.7 and flash the board from there ? I have my diff all and dump saved.

You can use the Betaflight 10.8.0 RC3 release for the 4.2.x firmware equipped quads but even that is still effectively a beta release so there could be a few bugs. Personally I would play it safe and run the 10.7.2 configurator for Betaflight 4.2.x and prior firmware. I have both versions of the configurator on my computer so I can switch between the two as I see fit, but I'm not flying anything on the Betaflight 4.3.0 release candidates. I only have the 10.8.0 configurator on my machine for reference purposes. I use the 10.7.2 configurator to configure my quads with.

Thank you very much Snow. It’s now back on 4.2.11 on 10.7. Better safe then sorry.
