I remember those knock-off rcx motors…lolz. I remember how under powered those quadcopters were back then. I started flying when the KK2 boards started to become replaced by Naze32 boards. It’s truly amazing how things have developed since then. I also remember how unreliable some ESC’s were and how common de-syncs and deathrolls were. I really do appreciate you posting up. Personally, i appreciate people like You, Oscar Liang, and Painless360 over Joshua Bardwell. You three are doing this out of passion and recreation, while JB is all about profit.

Thanks for the content.

Thanks for your reply. My first steps into multirotors was 5inch quad with KK2 board and fake RCX 1804 motors. Of course it was LOS. FPV was something from the future. I think it was year 2014-2015. Quadcopter was hardly flyable even in stabilized mode as I remember.

It was one of the first aio fc’s.
It’s downside was it was very sensitive to noise and required some hefty soft mounting. It was sorta a mix between a Naze32 board and an AIO FlightController.
I think DTFC was also one of the first manufactures of OSD chips as well. With OSDoge.
This was back before there was absolutely no OSD tab in BetaFlight and flight controller manufactures couldn’t comprehend putting an OSD chip on a flight controller. I think there has been some big game changing advancements in this hobby. Between OSD chipset, SmartAudio, BLHeli_32,and digital FPV feed people entering the hobby these days have it easy. De-Sync’s were soo very common during the days of Simon-K ESC’s.

Never heard about DTFc flight controller. Made a quick research. Interestingly you still can find this FC listed for sale, however the DTFc website http://www.dtfuhf.com/ is down unfortunately.
