ArduPilot FPV Drone Setup (MICRO FPV ARDUCOPTER!)

From firmware flash to flight, your easy-to-follow, complete Arducopter initial setup! Arducopter vs Betaflight & INAV explored, ArduPilot hardware identified, ArduPilot Mission Planner download, Ardupilot firmware flashed & Arducopter Configuration setup. Geared towards FPV pilots familiar with Betaflight, yet simple to follow for ArduPilot beginners & anyone! Using the ArduPilot Mission Planner we'll build & configure a 4" Micro FPV Kobara Arducopter and finish up with a test flight of our new Kobara ArduPilot build to check out both the ArduPilot flight modes & capabilities. Are you ready for ArduCopter?
