Nice to see the Talon flying. The low current draw and that glide are impressive. It's probably better to compare with both the Matek 405-WSE and Matek 411-WSE. The RacerStar F405 kind of fits between the two, in terms of size and features.
Interesting option here Andrew. I don't trust Matek products anymore, this may be a good choice for a long range micro wing project I'm building. Cheers.
it only needs something to show you how to set the uarts in Inav..... been fiddling whit it for a day or two, but got everything working at last. havent flown it because of bad weather
Great video Andrew, thanks! Though for the sake of $3 bluetooth module, really not worth paying $46! And if I have to invest in filters, etc, really pointless! Painless 360 reported his cooked after a rough landing too. Not on my buying list for sure
I tried to use right angle pins on the lower board, for servo connections, then discovered that they clashed with the middle board. Wish I had seen Andrew’s video first. I may have caused some shorts on first powering up. By the time I had unsoldered everything I think I also cooked some components and couldn’t get all the functions working. Gave up in the end. Andrew wasn’t lucky - he was just smarter!
Is anyone using this board? I've had a few F411 WSEs and not supper happy about consistency in quality with them. (Before the hate mail comes, yes I acknowledge it could be my soldering skills, but the 411 is pretty easy to solder on compared to say the 16x16 stacks on drones like the Flywoo Explorer or even the mini whoop AIO boards). I've got pile of these that have failed. Looking to try something different, but there aren't that many reviews out there on Racestar and most of the ones I've seen the reviewer ends up dropping in a F411 WSE
The servos have no power rail, so it's a no from me on that alone.....The direction pointer also looked very sluggish...Racerstars first attempt at a FC, and it shows...
That tech is getting smaller and smaller. Impressive. Did you see this speed record? I had no idea the small RC planes could go this fast! th-cam.com/video/4eFD_Wj6dhk/w-d-xo.html
@@Mrfunkyfpv depends where the vtx power is coming from, could be that it is connected directly to the lipo. But the filter is placed on the input power of the vtx
Amazing design! I got mine a few days ago and already loving it.
Great to hear!

Nice Controller 👍

Nicely done as always🔥❤👍😍
Hi there i love your videos and keep up the great content :)

What would you rather use?
@@blackterminal IMHO an Omnibus f4 PRO is a worthy time tested $17 board. Happy flying.
Hope you have more luck with this one than I did.
what issues did you have
I broke mine soldering it...

Only smarter because I have learned from my mistakes, and I have fried quite a few boards.
Dear Adrew are you using iNave 2,5 or 2.6 on this board?
INAV 2.6
I assume the fpv information screen is fully programmable like the Matek ones.
Same OSD chip
Hi Andrew. Could it be flashed with arduplane?
I've seen it done on yt
Hi Andrew if i was to buy a f405 board which do you recommend?
Matek F405 Wing or WSE. The Racerstar is good but very small and tight for soldering
Can you use this with a twin motor like the Albabird?
Yes but not for differential thrust, just have to treat the twins as one motor

Matek generally are better quality and more reliable
hi ,please config dji air unit
Have done previously

I did see that Jim. Frightening speed
Where between did you put the LC filter?
id like to know to
@@Mrfunkyfpv VTX power
@@HermyH66 so between the vtx and the board
@@Mrfunkyfpv depends where the vtx power is coming from, could be that it is connected directly to the lipo. But the filter is placed on the input power of the vtx
The video feed appears to go through the filter, is this the case‽
