    The most comprehensive instructions for Betaflight I have been able to find. INAV users will also benifit as many features are similar. Bardwell does not presume previous knowlege so his videos are beginner friendly, yet he covers very advanced topics. He is a natural teacher, and these videos are always entertaining as well as informative. Thanks JB!

    You can't imagine how much you helped me as a noob - and especially how much you took away my fear of all the options betaflight offers.
    Your tips on DJI, Taranis, OpenTX and TBS are extremely valuable. Admittedly, it took a whole week to set up transmitter, goggles and copter, but thanks to your easy-to-follow tutorials and step-by-step instructions, everything worked the first time - or you referred me to another of your tutorials that solved the problem. Fantastic content, priceless!
    Thank you so much for making it so easy to get into the hobby!

I've watched your channel for over a year now and just finished my first build a few days ago. I was a little bummed cuzz I couldn't get my brand new FC in boot- loader mode. After watching your vid, I realized I wasn't putting it in boot for the driver fixer, which finally worked and now I've been ripping up the beach and diving hotels with my first build and can't believe how good it flies! Thanks for everything you do! Thanks to your channel and your discord I can now say I've built my own quad!! Itsblunty has been supper helpful on discord too!

    Just thought I would say that watching your videos is not just educational and informative but fun and entertaining to watch. Could be your voice or tempo of your speech, not sure what but it seems to work for me! I am a fresh off of the boat newbie that has an engineering degree and decades of experience in RC with helis and RC cars, etc, yet I have to admit I have struggled to get some things working... what can I say.
    The FPV quad market is quite different than RC cars, planes, even helis, it seems as there is much more to these things which is ok but wow, not easy for someone just starting out!
    f you get a quad, radio, goggles, etc I have found so far that the item likely will not come with any instructions which forces you to hit the web to find the answers and that is not always as straight forward as it should be. Often I have found that the manufacturers own websites are missing data or are behind in revisions have instructions that are not helpful or simply don't have any info available at all further adding to the confusion and difficulty getting your quad in the air.
    It is awesome to have someone like you with your ton's of knowledge and excellent ability to inform and instruct and I do appreciate it and I have purchased a few of my items with your affiliate links, they ar going to the places I plan to buy from anyway so it is all good.

    For Linux guys - you will need to do two things.
    1. Make sure your user is in a group that allows full control access to serial ports. Typically it will be called something along the lines of "serial", "modem", or "dialout". You can discover this by running "ls -l /dev/ttyS*" - and see what group those devices are assigned to.
    2. Make sure you have the dfu-util package installed. Use your Linux flavor package manager software. If the correct package is installed, you should have a utility in your path called "dfu-tool"

It’s looking like the old firmware remains for now. 1, there’s no bootload button, following other instructions I simply used Impulse RC to circumvent the issue. I’ve now received a “unexpected multiple flight controller” error. Another frustrating 8 hours has come and gone… I’ll be waiting on the next series that hopefully fixes what I cannot

    Thank you so much for this video, huge help. I updated my Mobula 6 but did not get the popup to apply custom defaults, any help would be greatly appreciated.
