I'm just seeking a nice guyor gal that knows the route of the entire component(s) of the fpv drone, binding and receiver variants, and knowledge on betaflight. I bought this new little fast cinewoop but can't bind it to the bumblebee controller. Confused on the version to upgrade and the internal/external blah blah blah. I just would like to listen and watch to best understand and bind a simple drone again to the controller. It's been 3 years since I had FPV drones, and honestly never got into the construction part of it, but know it's essential to engage in the flight itself lol (can't golf par is you don't practice on the putting green and drive a ball at a driving range so to speak). If anyone in the greater LA area can contact me, have a fun discussion and discuss my needs and provide knowledge, and then possibly assist with meet up to show me applicability of instruction, that would be sweet. Please feel free to email me at [email protected]. My name is Sam and truly would appreciate the help. I practice all the time on the simulator and general love flips and twists as a springboard diver back in college so dopamine rushs' are my thing with wing speed. Thanks,

I'm not in LA, but what drone do you have? What radio?

Bumblebee and that new mini-cinewhoop rocket hummingbird v3. Have beta flight. Not sure how to update with open express lrs configurator too. I might be an idiot but I have everything (or equipment) just confused on all the updates and equivalent / compatable software needed updated I guess. I really appreciate your response man. Means a lot. If you feel comfortable you can email me at [email protected] and we can talk further there. Cheers

No problem! Always love to help. So you have these two components? So you shouldn't have to update the Flight Controller software (Betaflight). With these BNFs, it's a "If it's not broke don't fix it" situation. But for ELRS, it's probably easier to use the traditional method of binding: https://www.expresslrs.org/quick-start/binding/#traditional-binding. Basically, you put the board in binding mode, then you bind it to the transmitter in the ELRS script.
that's the bind button

Damn ur good! Thank you for the information and....why is it that flying fpv drones is so difficult in 2025 when AI is about to take over the world?! LOL love drones too because learninga bout the electronics, engineering, knowledge and problem solving it provides and the rewards of working hard and having fun with them when completing projects;) Take care

np! Let me know how it goes! AI is 50/50 when it comes to technical subjects like this. So I would take stuff like ChatGPT with a big grain of salt when it comes to drones and stuff like this.
