Hey guys, 

I´m upgrading my SP Racing F3 for this F4, here is the link from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Betaflig...0.0.7gXknx

The main benefit of this FC is the fact it has BEC, OSD built in and micro SD card slot for blackbox data.

Has anyone tested this FC ? Any advice or concern ? I expect to receive it tomorrow, worst case, Wednesday.

Thanks,

Depending on your RX protocol and VTX, if you need more than one UART with built-in signal inversion, you will be disappointed. Example, SBUS, telemetry, and smartaudio.

I also wanted to let you know that you bought a clone.

Hi, I also bought this board.

I'm not sure if I have a clone but anyway, I am missing cables with this board... 
And I'm still figuring out how to connect everything... Will update this thread tonight with pictures.

Omnibus boards are usually blue. You can get it here.

If you didn't buy an Omnibus from MyAirBot or one of their dealers, then you do have a clone. The quality of the clones can be quite variable. It's funny that even the cloners don't supply you with any cables! The sockets are all JST-SH except for the one that's used for a DSM2/DSMX satellite receiver which is a JST-ZH.

It does depend a lot on what kind of radio gear you use, but flight controllers based on the F3 MCU are generally a safer bet than those based on the F4. That being said, I've used an Omnibus F4 AIO (without the current sensor) in my Armadillo build and it works very well.

If you are running Frsky, I would stick to F3. Mostly due to all UARTs have inversion. I currently like telemetry and smartaudio.

I also have a F4 and to me, I really don't see the difference in actual flight. I do like the design of some of the newer F4 boards (eg. Matek f405 and PDB). For me, I would pick a board for ease of built, versus increase processor.

Just my predictions, but I don't think F4 boards will not become as popular as F3. Likely F7 will esclipse F4 before too long.

Hey guys thanks for your inputs here.

Regarding the Clone, I'm aware, 99% (if not 100%) of FCs you find in China are clones.
You think worth upgrading my SP Racing F3 ?

Thanks,

Smatport on F4 is doable with some extra hardware https://quadmeup.com/smartport-inverter-...ntrollers/

itit might take sit might take some spaspace but I fly all  my F4 Like that

It is very doable, and you don't need extra hardware. If I read your sentence correctly, it will not take more space. You just need to tap into the non-inverted signal on the XSRs or X4R. If you are using a different rx, then it might be more difficult. And your suggestions is valid.

My point is, F4 doesn't offer much of a performance benefit over F3 that mire mortal like myself can differentiate. For most people, going from F3 to F4 is probably not worth it.
