Board - FLYINGRCF4WINGMINI
This is a budget-friendly flight controller. Component tolerances and quality control may vary compared with higher-cost hardware, so users should test critical functions carefully before flying. The board has been advertised as INAV-compatible, but it was not originally submitted through the official INAV target process; current support exists thanks to community work, especially the contribution from dixi83.
The manufaturer, FlyingRC, now has a GitHub available: https://github.com/FlyingRC-Official
Hardware issues have been reported on these flight controllers. They are also missing many features. Unlike most other wing flight controllers, this is not an all-in-one solution. It requires an external power source for servos, so is not as small or light as it first appears.
Warning
We recommend you only use this flight controller on very light aircraft that you will keep within line-of-sight distances. Reliability of the hardware is far from guaranteed. So fitting to a larger, heavier aircraft adds unnecessary safety risks. Also, there are essential features missing for other types of flights. Please keep this for small park fliers only.
Also, if you choose to buy one of these, compare pricing carefully. At around US$40 there are more capable flight controllers available.

Note
There is conflicting information for the power this FC can handle. There are 2 specs provided:
Voltmeter 2.5-30V Power input 5v There is no ADC for "voltmeter" input. So potentially this FC can run at 1S to 6S. However there are only 2 LDO regulators on the FC itself.
Notable missing features
- Current sensor on earlier hardware revisions (V4 adds a backside ADC current-sensor pad)
- Blackbox recording
- Analogue OSD
- PINIO (for VTX power switching etc)
- Additional ADCs (airspeed sensor, RSSI, etc)
- On-board power rail for servos
- Filtered power for video
