RipaFire FPV CC3D Open Source Flight Controller 32 Bits Processor Openpilot for Multirotor Quadcopter QAV250 F330 F450 F550 (Bent Pin)

I got this FC to help build my first quadcopter. I put it on a RipaFire 450mm body, and it is a great FC for someone beginning to get into the hobby. I recommend if you are going into your first build like I did to really plan out how versatile you want your drone to be. This is a 6 channel FC, so you have enough for the basics but your are left with only a couple add-ons. Again, if you are new to the hobby, 4 of the channels will be occupied by propeller motors (if you are using a quad copter), Then there is the computer power supply that will take another channel. So you will have another option to add on to the last channel. I ran my led lights through a switch on my receiver, to help free up room and control the power :). I used LibrePilot to program the FC.I am the type of person that like to test my learning limits and will be getting an additional FC with more channels for building a more advanced model quadcopter. But This is a great FC for a beginning builder or someone looking to build a basic drone with FPV. Like I said earlier, I am a newbee to the hobby and the the ease of this FC has encouraged me to progress in this hobby.

After using this product for over a month, it basically died and won't leave boot loader mode. Failed mid flight. No crashes, no other issues...just flat out died.I'd like a replacement.
