BetaFPV Toothpick F722 flight controller review
A few weeks ago I reviewed the BetaFPV Pavo30 drone that was based on this Toothpick F722 flight controller. Due to some accident, a few of the MOSFETs on the board fried and I decided to order a new one.
In a nutshell, a flight controller (aka FC) is the brain of the drone. Its central processor receives data from...
JHEMCU GF30F722-ICM: Most affordable F7 flight controller
A few months ago, I built an iFlight Nazgul5 V3 FPV drone, and being on a tight budget, I looked for a cheap but versatile flight controller (FC). While most F7 flight controllers from reputable brands such as Diatone, SpeedyBee, RushFPV, HGLRC, or iFlight were priced close to $100, I found this JHEMCU GF30F722-ICM for only $38.
F7 flight controllers...

iFlight BLITZ F7 V1.1 flight controller: Is it good?
The flight controller (FC) is the brain of the FPV drone and is probably the most critical component, as it is responsible for stabilizing the drone. The FC generates the motors' control signals based on the pilot's and sensors' inputs. If you are starting with this hobby, I strongly recommend using BetaFlight-based flight controllers like this iFlight BLITZ F7...
