Built upon RotorflighRotorflight 2's advanced flight control technology, the RF007 seamlessly integrates with ETHOS radios for intuitive configuration and real-time tuning, putting unparalleled control at your fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the RF007 is powered by an STM32F722 MCU, paired with an ICM42688P gyro\/accelerometer and SPL06 barometer. For added performance insight, the RF007 includes a generous 128MB Blackbox for flight data logging, making it easier than ever to fine-tune and troubleshoot your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RF007 simplifies receiver integration with its built-in FrSky Archer+ or TWIN receivers, supporting the ACCESS\/ACCST V2 and TW protocols respectively. For users with unique requirements, the RF007 also supports external receiver connections via its main header or two UART\/I2C expansion ports. With 9 main header ports, the RF007 provides substantial flexibility to connect spare servos, glow ignitors, buffer\/backup packs, or other auxiliary equipment, ensuring maximum convenience for a variety of setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RF007 leverages ETHOS' powerful telemetry connectivity, offering a streamlined and user friendly Lua-based interface for tuning and programming directly from your FrSky transmitter. Adjust PIDs, servo trims, rates, mixing, filter settings, and more — all from the convenience of your radio screen. Even ESC configuration is supported for select ESCs, making the RF007 an all-in-one solution for advanced helicopter pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of the ROTORFLIGHT technical team and volunteers, whose expertise and rigorous testing have brought the RF007 to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience the future of FBL helicopter flight control with the FrSky VANTAC RF007. Testing and final checks are coming to a close, and availability is expected soon. Stay tuned for updates!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the RF007 an official product?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes.  The RF007 was developed by FrSky in conjunction with the Rotorflight development team and testers, and follows the F7B reference design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/rotorflight\/rotorflight-ref-design\/blob\/master\/Reference-Design-F7B.md\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/github.com\/rotorflight\/rotorflight-ref-design\/blob\/master\/Reference-Design-F7B.md\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What makes the RF007 unique?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The RF007 is the first 9-pin Rotorflight FC based on the new F7B reference design, and it has a built in FrSky receiver connected via FBUS (or FPort), allowing for easy connection to most any FrSky radio without an external module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What RF protocols does RF007 use on the internal receiver?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: There are two versions: Archer+ and Twin.  The Archer+ version supports both ACCESS and ACCST V2, which all current and most older FrSky radios support.  The Twin version supports the TW protocol, suitable for FrSky TW radios (e.g. TW X-Lite, X14) as well as the PRO\/R\/RS radios, or any FrSky Ethos radio with the Twin Lite Pro external module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I program the RF007 using my FrSky radio?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Lua scripts are available thanks to the hard work of Rob Thomson, Egon Lubbers et al and offer full Rotorflight integration with Ethos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/rotorflight\/rotorflight-lua-ethos\" rel=\"noopener\"

EdgeTX\/MPM?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The Archer+ version of RF007 has a built-in Archer Plus receiver, which can bind to ACCST V2.  This is \"FrSkyx2\" in the Multiprotocol system.  Integration\/telemetry is supported in this configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use the RF007 without the built-in receiver?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, absolutely.  Just connect a receiver of your choice to either the main header (e.g. SBUS port) or expansion Port A or C and reconfigure Rotorflight to use that receiver instead of the internal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What's the hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The RF007 is powered by an STM32F722 MCU, ICM-42688P IMU, SPL06 Barometer, and W25N01 128MB Blackbox.  It has a 5V rail capable of 1.5A continuous load and has a working voltage up to 15V, suitable for 12V UHV servo systems.  It has a total of 9 main header ports, allowing easy connection of buffer packs, redundant BEC leads, ESC telemetry, servos\/glow drivers, etc as well as Port A and C for UART\/I2C connections.  It also has a VBAT\/AIN port capable of up to 80V input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What comes in the box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: You will receive: RF007 Unit, 2 x JST-GH 4pin pigtails, 1 x USB-A to USB-C cable, 1 x JST-GH 2pin VBAT\/AIN port cable, 1 x RxUG cable for updating the internal RX in case of OTA failure, and 3 x double sided tape pre-cut pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I remove the heat shrink from the antennas? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The heat shrink is added to protect the fragile whiskers, but may not fit all antenna guides, so it can be removed easily.  It is hot-glue heat shrink, and can be removed by gently heating with a lighter for 5-10s then simply sliding it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect to the RF007?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, the RF007 USB-C port has the correct data pin pulldowns to support C to C operation.  It has been tested both on Android as well as RFC on macOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: When will the RF007 be available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: We do not currently have an exact availability date, but provided final testing and configuration goes well, availability is expected soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrSky part number:
