This is a great race frame, but I'm just not a racer kind of pilot. I bought the frame as a replacement for my first build which only flew LOS. This build was mostly built out of cheap/recycled parts from that LOS build, and it helped me transition into FPV.
VTX: I switched back and forth between the AKK FX2 and RDQ mach3 after experiencing heat issues. Turning down the mw output on either vtx, and insulating the antenna-to-frame connection helped.
RX: Instead if using the chunky housing on the radio rX, I disassembled it and put a big piece of shrink-tube around the board to make it more low-profile. This weakened the antenna-to-board connections, and these cheapo RXs are pretty much shot when that solder joint breaks. Probably wasn't worth the effort overall.
