Solid Kakute F7 FC Alternative?
#1
Just when I've settled into a reliable FC and begun migrating my builds to Holybro power systems, everyone is out of stock on the Kakute F7 AIO lol.  Anyone recommend a solid alternative?  What about that Speedybee AIO?  I prefer to avoid iFlight, Diatone and GEPRC though.

So not an iFlight SucceX F7 then?  Whistling Big Grin 

The Matek F722-SE would be my next choice if you are after a AIO, otherwise the Matek F722-STD if you need to hook up to a 4in1 ESC.

LOLLLL yea. NO. Big Grin

The Matek would've been a no brainer for me but that side lipo mount ... eh. I'm so used to a rear mount. And turning the FC would just then put the USB in an odd place.

And actually I would plan to use individual ESCs with this one. I have found a place that sells the Kakute F7 for the 4-in-1. But your post about the mounting holes connected to the outer ESC pads kinda freaked me out. So I was hoping to go Kakute F7 AIO + 4x Tekko32 Metals to replace the Diatone power system on my 7".

FC with PDB is a dying breed. I can't remember the last new FC with this design. You only choice is the Matek or Holybro.

Wow how lucky lol ... Helidirect restocked just now haha. I picked that up and some individual metal ESCs. No more iflight, diatone, etc on any of my builds as far as FCs or ESCs.

Still, its worth having a backup brand. Yea I wish the Matek would design a rear lipo mount version of their AIO FC.

Do you guys think that Speedybee one might be any good? I know Newbeedrone makes great little tiny whoops but they seem to be creeping into everything else.

The Speedybee FC's are made by RunCam, not NewBeeDrone. I don't know of many people who use it, so not sure what the reliability is like. It has some nice features though like Bluetooth built in.

You can turn the FC. Don't tell me you are too lazy to do that.

Actually I am lol but I'd still do it - it's just that the USB is now inside the frame too.

I have a speedybee f4 on one of my quads, no experience with the f7. It's been really reliable though, I used it to replace my kakute aio that lasted forever and a day untill it got sand blasted after a really nasty crash.
