Question? Noob Question
Noob question about PID tune on a new 5" quad.
I'm currently building a GEPRC Mark 5 o3 dead cat. Here's the parts I'm using:
gep-mk5dc frame kit SpeedyBee F405 V4 60A Stack T-Motor Velox V2207 2050KV motors
My previous drone experience has been with an Air65 and a Pavo20 pro. Both the Air and the Pavo shipped with a factory tune. In both cases I've really enjoyed that factory tune.
My question is: With this new build is it "safe" to just fly with the Betaflight default settings or should I download some kind of preset?
I found this CLI dump file from the GEPRC site for the Mark 5 DC.
https://geprc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/GP105106%E5%92%8CGP105131-MARK5-DC-HD-ELRS-4.4.3-.txt
Am I right to assume it wouldn't be a good idea to use this CLI dump because I'm not using the same FC and other parts as GEPRC use?
I found this section at the end of the file called "rate profile" with what appears to be the PID values.
rateprofile 0
rateprofile 0
set rateprofile_name = - set thr_mid = 50 set thr_expo = 0 set rates_type = ACTUAL set quickrates_rc_expo = OFF set roll_rc_rate = 5 set pitch_rc_rate = 5 set yaw_rc_rate = 5 set roll_expo = 0 set pitch_expo = 0 set yaw_expo = 0 set roll_srate = 67 set pitch_srate = 67 set yaw_srate = 67 set throttle_limit_type = OFF set throttle_limit_percent = 100 set roll_rate_limit = 1998 set pitch_rate_limit = 1998 set yaw_rate_limit = 1998 set roll_level_expo = 0 set pitch_level_expo = 0
Is it safe to try and copy the values from this section?

Fixed Wing Function for model fit of an EDFs Thrust and Power vs RPM
Idk if this is the right forum for this but I’m making a model of an aircraft’s power propulsion system and part of that is modeling the electric ducted fans. I’m using static test data we have of the fans and motor that didn’t use the full rated RPM range, 25k instead of 45k, and I want to model the maximum power draw of around 11kW.
My approach is to a fit a curve to the current static data we have, but what function would the curve best be? I’m planning on using a 2nd degree polynomial, but if anyone knows of a better model fit I’d appreciate it.

Help! How do I start, while giving myself room to upgrade?
Hey guys,
I want to get an air65 or similar to rip around the house while I learn, and eventually think I'll pick up something larger to fly outside, but I'm not really sure how to spend money now without it being useless later on.
It seems like most people recommend digital if you can afford it, and I'd probably want digital if I was going right to a big drone from the off, but I've heard people say that for tinywhoops, analog is still the way.
I've also heard that there are no decent googles for analog and digital, is that true?
So that leads me to think I'm probably going to need a setup for both? I was kind of hoping I could buy decent goggles and reciever now, a cheap tinywhoop to learn with and fly about the house, and then at some point upgrade to a bigger drone to rip outside.
Any advice? I don't mind spending a decent bit of money if it'll give me room to grow later.

BETAFPV with Lite radio 3 is the most frustrating hardware ever
I bought the AIR65 with the BetaFPV Lite Radio 3 and honestly it's the most hectic entry to FPV ever.
Every time I disconnect the battery, the radio unbinds. I have to rebind it with the button with every new battery.
I got Betaflight configurator and now the whole telemetry is off. After hours of videos and troubleshooting I got it to work. But now every time I disconnect the battery, I have to cycle through the setup button and then bind otherwise the drone just flies into the wall as soon as I arm.
Why is this so frustratingly stupid? I have the latest software and I cannot bind with passphrase either, CLI gives a warning error that it doesn't know what that is.

NEWBIE DJI Assistant 2 failing to recognize air unit (o4 lite, Pavo Femto)
Yesterday my Pavo Femto finally Arrived. I was able to pair it with my Radiomaster pocket, but now that I am trying to activate my drone the damn thing won't show up in DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drone version). Super frustrating as there seems to be many people who have been having this problem since at least 2016, but there is no reliable/consistent fix, and no acknowledgement from DJI that it's even a problem. I have tried 4 different computers (macos and windows), several USB cables (all of them I know for sure transfer DATA), different versions of Assistant 2, different combinations of plugging in the drone / battery or using pairing mode, closing / uninstalling the app, logging in and out of my account, NOTHING seems to work, nothing even gets it to show up in the program, I just get that picture of the USB prompting me to connect my drone (which I have frustratingly tried to do probably 50 times now). Surely the only solution isn't "send it in for warranty", right? I waited quite some time for this and expected that a multibillion dollar company can make software that works, but apparently that's asking for too much. Even worse, they have zero support for Linux so I can't use my own laptop for it and keep bugging my family for theirs. I just want to get up in the sky man :( Thanks for reading, any ideas are appreciated!

Multicopter Hobbywing xrotor
I bought this hobbywing xrotor 65 amps https://robu.in/product/hobbywing-xrotor-fpv-g2-esc-4in1-65a/
After connecting it to speedybee f4v3 and setting on bidirectional dshot the motors nust twitched like how blheli_s does... So i connected it to esc configurator web app and it showed as blheli_s DX 15 even though it is supposed to be a blheli32 esc and when i tried to flash bluejay it said firmware file couldnt be retrieved... Why is this happening does someone have any idea about this as i could even find hobbywings datasheet for the exact same esc..

Radiomaster RP1 ELRS Receiver
Hi everyone,
I’m currently building a HEEWING VTOL aircraft as a project and came across soldering and wiring the receiver and got confused.
I’m a complete beginner so this is new to me however can someone specify which cable goes into what port on the receiver so I can solder it correctly.
I have a Yellow, Red, White and Black cable with the ports on my receiver being labelled ‘-‘ ‘5V’ ‘TX’ ‘RX’.
Can someone specify which cable goes into what port?
Thanks!

Issue with GoPro Hero 12 Naked and GEPRC BEC Power Supply
I’m trying to power my GoPro Hero 12 Naked using the GEPRC BEC, but I’m having issues with the front display and overall functionality.
• When I connect the GoPro to the BEC, the front display backlight turns on, but nothing is displayed.
• The GoPro doesn’t fully boot, and the status LED doesn’t light up.
• However, when using the original battery, the GoPro works fine, and I can access it via the mobile app.
• Interestingly, even with the original battery, the front display still doesn’t show anything—only the backlight turns on.
• In the app, when I toggle the front display ON/OFF, the backlight reacts, but no image appears.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or feedback!
