"Yes, as posted, I went for the mini talon and I am very pleased with it. With the payload (pixhawk 2.1 and a 200 g. sensor + generic hardware) I would not choose a smaller platform. If you use a Pixracer or similar it is possible to cut quite some…"
Hi all.I am putting together a fixed wing UAV with a Pixhawk 2.1 flight controller, four 9-gram servos, dragonlink rx, RFD900 telemetry, and optional FPV gear. I use a 40A ESC with a built in 4A (S)BEC. It is advised to power the RFD900-radio…

Thanks in advance

"I know the thread is old, but I just want to "close" the topic. As replied by floyd and Dave, the bluetooth module HC 05 is not worth it. I never got it to work and bought a cheap telemetry-kit instead."
