I recieved it in boot mode, but once I got that figured out it works great!

Great Receiver
This is a great receiver for my 5 inch drone. Link Quality is outstanding for the flying that I do (relatively short range).
PSA: if you're used to other ExpressLRS receivers, setup is a bit different then the HappyModel versions I've used. I was only able to get it to work with Betaflight passthrough mode, but once I figured that out it was just a Build & flash and off it went. Definitely would buy it again for a quad that needs a little more range then the HappyModel ceramic antenna one I usually get.
Right away, this is the best 65mm Whoop I know. Not even close.
I ordered two, one is more or less stock, just the PEEK motor screws and V3 cockroach. The second is upgraded to 0702 27000kV but will go back because I like the 25000kV more because of smoother throttle response and perfect betaflight tune.
Now the but:
1. On both quads I had to replace the BeeEye for a spare one because both are out of focus.
2. the yellow props were way too loose and very brittle. I lost two on my maiden. Black, blue and red are very tight (too tight for such a fragile prop) but if you get them on without bending them, they will last.
3. why does the quad not come with the lighter frame right away?
4. PH2.0…. You know the drill.
On that price point, even after the frame and PEEK upgrade I can forgive these quality issues. Especially considering the great tune and quality FC and motors. But be sure to order a replacement cam and props right away.
This was kind of a late night lark. I'd seen this upgrade for the Mk3 for a while and pondered whether it was a gimmick or not, and I'm pleased to say it's a genuinely good upgrade. It has reduced the noise of my Mk3 considerably. I haven't noted any significant increase in print quality, but the old drone of the bed is gone and that's completely worth it.
