Does this have an objective answer? It sounds opinion-and-situation-based, I would suggest rewording it to "what are the considerations when choosing telemetry frequencies?", narrowing down to RC and video if desired. – AEhere supports Monica yesterday

What's an LR wing? I did a Google search for rc aircraft "lr wing" and this Area 51 page was one of the top results. – Tanner Swett Dec 3 at 16:22
Maybe it's a typo and they meant AR wing? – ifconfig Dec 4 at 8:02

I suppose LR is short for Long Range? So the question is then probably related to wing battery efficiency or long range flight characteristics – Niels Rood Dec 7 at 8:01
That's an interesting interpretation and likely correct too... – ifconfig Dec 7 at 8:19

Sounds like a product support question about Betaflight. Is this really a good fit for a general site? – AEhere supports Monica 17 hours ago
I think it is. It's not a bug report, which is what the GitHub issue tracker is for. – ifconfig 3 hours ago

Is there a good online resource for product comparisons? For example, different brands of antennas, modules, goggles, or transmitters? [closed]
added by Newby FPV 2 days ago
link|flag

closed as not constructive by Robert Cartaino♦ yesterday

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

This is a resource location question, which is often considered offtopic elsewhere. Their answers are very prone to becoming outdated and in this case in particular it would risk attracting a lot of spam from every commercial site that offers this service. – AEhere supports Monica yesterday

Can you parallel charge lipo batteries of different capacities? [closed]
added by 5zero7rc yesterday

closed as duplicate of What is parallel charging and what do you need to know to do it safely? by Robert Cartaino♦ yesterday

This question covers exactly the same ground as another question in this proposal.

This proposal is about to undergo a Final Review, so while this may not technically be closed as an "exact duplicate" on the actual site, for the purpose of evaluating the scope of this proposal, combining example questions which cover much the same subject space helps assure we have a sufficient breadth of subject matter to continue. This is how I present the strongest possible case for creating this site. – Robert Cartaino♦ yesterday
