As promised on my last video, here is the flashing & tuning guide on Betaflight 3.2.1 - this is a quick video, I am not going to go into a ton of detail on what each setting does and it's historical provenance. I am just going to show you guys how I Flash and set up my quads before the maiden.

Tuning the quad is a whole separate matter and should be done out in the field after a couple test flights.

Hope this helps some of you out there and don't hesitate to drop a comment with questions and what not.

*** DISCLAIMER ***
I was made aware that the configurator was updated on Google Play as of this morning. I had already shot and edited the video, so I am not going to re-do it. Either way, if you run bleeding edge Betaflight ( daily builds ) it's good to get in the habit of manually updating the configurator. If your configurator already says "10" then you are good to go.
