Matek H743-SLIM Flight Controller - First look

In this video we take a first look at the Matek H743-SLIM Flight Controller. This flight controller was supplied by Banggood for review.

You may be wondering why I'd look at the H743-SLIM as opposed to the H743-WING. After all, I am really a fixed wing kind of guy. Well, the answer is pretty simple. I saw potential in this flight controller to be a slightly smaller and lighter alternative to the H743-WING. Paring this up with a Matek F722-PX-W PDB gives is basically all the features of the WING version. There are only really 2 things that are worse. One is the servo BEC is only 5A compared to 8A. The other is that the VTx power source is only switchable between 5v and VBat (both filtered), whereas the WING has a choice of 9v or 12v for the VTx. The remote USB is also not there, but if this is going in a smaller build, I don't really see this as much of an issue.
