So I bought a Cyclops Tornado OSD + FC to replace the crappy Turnigy T1000FC that never worked properly... here's a trim flight and testing a couple of flight modes (mainly PA and RTH). The OSD + FC worked well considering the winds were at least 15mph as you can see from the downwind legs - groundspeed increased dramatically :)
More testing to follow, but happy so far - also, who doesn't love a fancy schmancy sunset??
