Unlike similar offerings, the FC requires no soldering, and uses reliable, lockable JST-GH connectors for connections to other parts of the drone.
Mounting Options
The FC ships with soft silicone rubber ‘gummies’ that should be used to mount the FC onto the ‘stack’.
These gummies not only reduce sensor noise caused by props, but also play an important role in protecting the delicate sensors from extreme shock.
If the FC is mounted atop the Orqa 3030 ESC, it is recommended to hard-mount the ESC on the supplied mounting hardware, and mount the FC on top of it using the gummies.
Voltage and Current Sensor
Betaflight, and all other flight controller firmware platforms require calibration of the battery voltage, and current sensors.
These values depend primarily on the ESC used. If the Orqa 3030 ESC is used, the default values programmed will be correct.
If a different ESC is used, there are several online guides explaining how to calibrate voltage, and current.

For tiny whoop racing, I prefer this motor with the hummingbird guts (AIO camera and canopy) on the 65pro frame with 4-blade 35mm props. Close to 20g, phenomenal run time.
Some people at the racetrack (and CIOTTI) call this an "old school" motor.
I usually make my own 180 degree power pigtail, but BETAFPV designed the perfect pigtail for a fair price, had to buy them... I usually don't like BETAFPV BT2.0 pigtail wires, the silicon is high quality, but where you solder the wire right next to the wire is where it always breaks, I don't expect this to change :-(
I would recommend these excellent BT2.0 Cable Pigtails :-))))
