Welcome to the Rotorflight Wiki!

Rotorflight is a flight control software suite for single rotor RC helicopters. It is based on Betaflight, with many advanced features added for helicopters. It consists of several components:

  • Rotorflight Firmware: the software that runs on your flight controller.
  • The Rotorflight Configurator: update and configure the firmware using Windows, macOS or Linux.
  • Optional: Rotorflight Blackbox Explorer: analyse Rotorflight logs on your computer.
  • Optional: Rotorflight LUA scripts: tweak your helicopter on the field using your OpenTX/EdgeTX transmitter.

Most Betaflight F4 and F7 flight controllers are compatible with Rotorflight. They usually require some soldering. Since 2023 there are also commercial Rotorflight controllers available, such as the Flywing HELI-F405 or the Steam FlyDragon F722. Those dedicated Rotorflight controllers resemble traditional FBL units and don't require any soldering.

Rotorflight does NOT support multi-rotor drones, nor airplanes; it is only for traditional RC helicopters.

Rotorflight 1.0

Rotorflight 1.0 has been released in June 2022. This version has been tested extensively on a myriad of helicopters, ranging from Blade Nanos to XLPower Specter 700s, with excellent results.
