Continued from previous post...

The next one was my 5th build.  I had problems with my first FC in it and one of the ESCs burned, but it eventually settled down and turned into a nice flier.  This weekend I soft mounted the FC and the motors, replaced a broken RX antenna, rewrapped some wires from a broken zip tie and replaced stack mounting hardware.
               

This is my newest build. It's fast and has gotten away from me a couple of times already.  Had to replace the camera case and an arm already.  Got a ding on one motor and glued some of the carbon back when it started to delaminate on one arm after a crash on cement.  I had a video noise problem and tried filters and caps, changed VTX and still had noise.  Finally after I crashed and the connector between the FC and ESC broke which forced me to use the wire harness to connect them and rewire everything I got a handle on the noise and now it's great.  Have a 1000mfd cap with no LC filter and the same VTX as my other quads.  Tried the AKK but I needed the compactness of the iFlight.  I soft mounted the FC and motors and replaced an RX antenna.
               

So, I guess that's what a rainy weekend is good for, getting caught up.  And making posts like this since I'd rather be out flying. 

Very cool!

I like the RX antennas placement very much.

Sharp!

Thanks. Last weekend snapped an arm off of the orange one. Had to replace the bottom plate since it's a one piece plate with the arms. That was a pain, had to disassemble the entire quad, all motors , stack, everything. Got it finished last night and ready for this weekend.

Thanks.  I found this to be the easiest method and they are well protected.  I get good range with them mounted like that, too.
