FPV | Struggle is Real | Leopard Mk2 Reborn

Well, I failed to iron all the quirks out of my Martian build, while waiting for replacement parts for my main quad. I even upgraded the flight controller to a Matek F405 AIO with PDB. I had rx\tx issues and had intermittent ability to arm despite power cycles all around. I've updated the firmware on my XSR receivers for better S Port compatibility and PID\Lua functionality on Taranis. Stupidly ran at 4k\4k loops, re-flashed Betaflight 3.2 and set it to 8k\8k loops. Oops. I've scaled it back to 4K\2K, so I'm hoping that works better and the PIDs don't go crazy on the dirty Martian. I replaced a motor and the Flight Controller on the Leopard - I was under the impression that there was an issue with the 4-in-1 ESC which also acts as my PDB. I cleaned up the soldering, rewired and off I went to test it. I'm so happy but threw caution into the wind despite the wet grass. I didn't have time to conformal coat the fresh solder and new FC. Oops again. Well I'm hoping that caused my dead duck at the end of the day. Otherwise, I have a little PID tuning to correct but I'm over the moon to have the DeadPooled Leopard back in action. Also, NEW PROPS HQPROP 5x4.8x3 V1S These felt amazing, very similar to the 4.3 V1S but bigger scoop and more aggressive pitch. They appear to be relatively durable and deliver noticeable thrust at the mid-high range. There's obviously battery trade off but it didn't seem ridiculous and the props performed smoothly at low of the R5 motors. I don't have Current Sensing to monitor Amp Draw but I suspect these are on par, if not more efficient than the DAL Cyclones. In any case, these may be my new favourite prop if I don't kill any batteries with them :D. I've been lucky in this hobby until now. The struggle is very real.
