BLHeli Configurator should allow you to flash C-H-15 by ticking a checkbox on Firmware Selector page.
P.S. Don't mix G and C, G is pin-incompatible with C. You may change `-L-` to `-H-` but not the first letter.

-15 may cause them to switch too fast and overheat, stick with -20 for now if you're not sure.

0 Now I'm all scared to flash to 16.6 on my Wizard. (ESC's showing 16.3) Is there really any advantage to updating?

17 There are some improvements in the code which may be nice to have.
To be safe disable MultiShot before updating the firmware on them, but there can't be a 100% guarantee that nothing will go wrong. 16.3 is known to be flaky.

17 You're welcome.
How do you "flash DSHOT"? 16.5 and 16.6 have DSHOT and all PWM protocols with auto-detection, hence you don't need to flash anything specifically.
DSHOT has no throttle calibration and that's one of the main points of using it.

17 Dshot doesn't need throttle calibration and has no such concept. Only analog protocols require calibration

17 That means either the ESCs don't support DSHOT out of the box, or FC doesn't. I can't help here as I don't have this copter. There's a long thread about it on RCG where you could find help.

30 I didn't read all the latest posts, so not sure it was mentioned, but as a reminder: when dshot was introduced, it was necessary to set fc back to oneshot or multishot to make passthrough work. When done, set fc back to dshot.
