I finally started tuning my Apex! Been running stock Betaflight 4.2 for ages on this thing. Since I just took my last acro quad out of action I thought I'd try the top mount life again for acro and see how I like it! So far all I've done is switch to HQ R42 Props, upgrade to Betaflight 4.2.8 and put a light tune on it! Definitely has way more tuning room left but it's dialled in enough now to get a feel for that kind of flying again! I definitely need to move the camera forward or switch to the Foxeer T-Rex Mini Cam but it's nice returning to traditional frame layouts for a change!
