***Ignore my prop direction! Do not copy! Way too late for me filming these and maybe sniffing too much lead solder at the time! XD***

This is the ImpulseRC Apex DC Mr Steele edition purchased from @GetFPV early on in 2022. I've been thoroughly enjoying this quad, and it does live up to the hype! The quad feels super responsive, and rock solid. The kit comes with 7075 lightweight aluminum screws and coyote brown feet and bumpers. I decided on Ethix V4 Stout tumbled edition motors because it's lighter without paint, and the raw/matte aluminum just looks so cool and classy against the coyote brown. I used small strips of rp10 3M VHB tape 0.2mm thick to stick on the motor wire arm guards and the LED light strips! I prefer this over electrical or fabric tape because the quad can now retain it's sleek look throughout (still removeable by a little bit of prying). I also go over all the soldered electrical connections with black liquid tape to prevent any shorting of the electronics if landing in wet grass. I added a custom gps print that also doubles up as a clean way to mount the TBS immortal antenna without the use of zip ties. It was my first time using an iFlight AIO STD board. Although most of the board is plug in play style, It was a huge learning experience (I'm use to soldering everything on). I spent hours of frustration just re-pinning terminals. In the end though, it worked out. Most of the quad can come apart like a little car/motorcycle with plugs with exception to the motors. I hid all the wires underneath the board, so when you remove the top plate, you are greeted with a beautiful green and gold iFlight FC. There are some details still left out in this video, such as my LED wiring set up combined with Buzzer wiring hook up to FC (total mess of wires), plus Blheli_32, betaflight 4.3 tuning, binding with goggles and remote etc.
