BabyHawk R - EMAX - 2inch front runner?

This is not at all like the previously released BabyHawk, this hawk has teeth. 1106 Brushless power on the new AVAN props, buzzer and Foxeer ccd cam. What's the verdict?
Note: Not tuned, but rather "input" from pilots..

They say it will run 4S. Do you want to see that?

[@Redshift1360]

Nick Burns oh heck yes👍

[@fyshlearnstoskate]

This is rhetorical right?

[@yayathidayat6678]

yes

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

Nick Burns yes lets see😀👍

[@DroneOn]

Who is going to say no? Of course!

[@ricktucker7560]

Simply the best micro reviews on KZbin. I say it often but every time I see a review like this I feel compelled to say it again. The hours of flight time Nick puts behind a product to fully appreciate its characteristics like durability, reliability, and convenience is terrific. It’s awesome that he was able to get a review out early so he can get the views he deserves. I am concerned about the low flight time and I would love to see some exploration with prop combinations or anything else that may improve that in future videos. Fortunately, we also other excellent KZbin reviewers like Albert Kim, Frequent Flyer, and Droneracer who often explore these possibilities. Anyway, I am very grateful to the micro quadcopter community for their work. That is all.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you

[@jasondonavich2758]

Can't wait to get mine in the new year... it looks like such a fun little quad

[@headfog7621]

I can think back and remember you posting a video saying your on your 3rd battery on acro....and now your just full speed....that's motivates me even more...keep up the Great work!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thanks, I wonder how long back that was...doesn't feel that long ago.

[@taggerung890]

I love the way you do a run down of the specs! Keep up these videos Nick! I love em!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thanks.

[@foggyfpv82]

Preordered one of these yesterday, Glad to see the reviews are good.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yes, for less than $150 I don't see another competing directly.

[@Timsfpvshow]

Nice video bud.thats what's so great about these little quads, you can go right out your back door and rip it up like that.

[@MrPaulielie]

Nice review and flying Nick.

[@Airbrushkid]

I know this is old but. I have the Babyhawk R 2". Bought it used this year. Looks brand new the guy said he didn't fly it much. He was scare of it. That stand off you mentioned. The VTX plugs into the FC on the back side of the that stand off. And the arms on this one are 1 piece not 2 piece. So they seem to have change it of the year. BTW nice videos.

[@conrick23]

I love your video format. Happy holidays!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Happy Holidays. Thank you

[@RocketPunchArmy]

Just picked one up for 114, great deal. Cant wait to get it!

[@RCSkunkWorX]

Outstanding video Nick

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you

[@scottmarshall6766]

I have some Tattu 3S45075, 2 of them I purchased from Raceday Quads a few weeks back, and then 5 more from Powersports Hobby (ebay) that came last week. They are all shorter and wider than the ones you have. My Gremlin is happy on 2S(also Tattu 450-75C), and I'm still waiting on my Babyhawk-R so I can't speak to the performance. But It looks as though the wider 3S450s use the same cells as the 2S450s, except in a 3 stack. The 2S450 (wider style) are getting me about 4 1/2 minutes hard flying and about 6 minutes just flying around on the Gremlin (Emax Original Babyhawk motors/props), so I'm happy with them, I stocked up on batteries and props once I preordered the Babyhawk-R, figured once they hit, the batteries and the Avan Micro props will be hard to find... In any case it seems Tattu has recently changed the design on their 3S45075. For better or worse I can't say for sure, but I'd guess (Hope) they fixed the runtime issue you have. I'll be watching for the GNB Blues though, wonder if the RDQ house brand is GNB, sure look like them? I can't wait till my Hawk-r - Hawker? (like that) arrives, even though I'm in upstate NY with it blowin and snowing. I'll sneak in a crash or 2... Great Review! You have a new subscriber.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Interesting tattu info. I will look for more in 2018. Thank you

[@FunFactorRC]

I love the first minute of your review very awesome very thoughtful

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you

[@spinymonk1590]

Great review Nick ,as always. Looks a good flyer 👍

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you, its good fun. look forward to tweaking it.

[@Rich-TeaFPV]

Another 2 inch winner. Great review Nick 😀

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you

[@johncarold]

fantastic flying

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you

[@wait..what.]

great review. these motors are nice. i have the emax RS1106/4500 and run 3s on a 10a board with 2435 (x4) props and microswift2 on a kingkong 95gt bottom frame and kingkong 90gt top plate 🖖🏾👨🏽‍🚀

[@sapata1871]

Hey Nick, Thank you for the link w/coupon. BNF including insurance. And 5 /15 day ship. 137.00 Awesome ' Happy New Year!

[@Temporal_Flux]

Excellent review, as always. It is looking like a good one.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you

[@kitensurf]

Nice review. Good flying skills for sure.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you

[@fpvdreams8190]

Hi there pal. Been watching your channel. Got me the know how I needed on a few occasions :) I need to verify something. Will the supplied receiver bind to a Turnigy Evolution transmitter ? Thanks for your help. And keep em coming. Always a pleasure tuning in.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

No, I believe the bind and fly version comes with an frsky receiver the evolution needs flysky I believe.

[@Redshift1360]

What an awesome price for such a sweet micro 2" with quality parts. Although there's the Diatone GT R90 which is about $20 more, but this is a sweet alternative 😀

[@davdaya]

BabyHawk R - EMAX is the 2inch front runner for 2017.. : )

[@cheshirerc]

First BabyHawk R review as far as I have seen. Nice.

[@calcifiedbonecollector3222]

justin Middleton nope kabab was first

[@danskifpv]

Joe Gonzales true but this was more extensive, preferred this one

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you

[@NickBurnsFPV]

that is correct. I don't mind. :)

[@jasondonavich2758]

I would just melt a small hole towards the back of the canopy to put the dipole in, then out a dab of hot glue under the canopy to keep it nice a tight.

[@dirtmcgirt3445]

I've had a 4s GNB 850mah blue label for about a year now. It's been a great battery, even under the torture as being my tuning battery for my Chameleon. Still rips hard af. Had 2 but unfortunately one of them died in it's 1st crash, it's a 2s now :D. Def going to pick up a few, like that it's jst and xt30.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I am glad to hear the 4s batts are good too.

[@deadmoo83]

Kabab FPV said something about them eventually releasing arms for 3in props in his review. That is why they left so much slack on the motor wires, supposedly.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

That could be, but assemblers don't have a habit of trimming wires to a length. In my experience 90%+ RTFs/PNFs motor wires have that same "excess" length, so they all have this same thought?

[@RADERFPV]

Not sure about 3 inch arms (though the production box has a checkbox for both 2 and 3 inch versions), but I do know for sure that the official 2.5 inch upgrade kit is availalbe. Moving up to these arms allows for 2.5 inch props all around (instead of just using bigger props in the rear); very cool.

[@MCsCreations]

Hey... A capacitor, not a resistor. ;) But great video! And looks like a great model! :D

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I think I flip that back and forth a few times during the video.

[@MCsCreations]

Nick Burns HAHAHAHAHA I know how you feel, bro. :D There are times when I'm making a video that, after misspelling the same work for the 10th time, I start to curse myself. LOL

[@Danegerous45]

GNB is all I fly for my micros, im running 2s 450mah and they perform very well. For my 5” I’m running 4s 1500mah and they work great! As you stated, a good bang for your buck for sure!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Good to hear from others. I have yet to test their bigger batteries.

[@Danegerous45]

Nick Burns I think they're worth it. Seems like compared to CNHL they aren't as good of a bang for you buck. But definitely rated well. Joshua Bardwell also did a review on them

[@Timsfpvshow]

I bought mine from my lhs and my stack was crooked like that. It doesn't bother me but it is a little strange that it's that way.great review bro

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you

[@RKFP]

Hi Nick. Great review as always. This is the best channel for micros👍 I transplanted the emax babyhawkr 2" to the hornet120 frame. So that i fly it with a 2.5" prop. However i am always getting very very hot motors on 3s lipo. I checked motor screws not touching the coil etc. I am lost and hoping you know what the problem could be. And perhaps advise accordingly. Thank you

[@NickBurnsFPV]

might be the tune, but those motors are often reported as running on the hot side.

[@RKFP]

Nick Burns. Hi thank you for your kind reply advise. I will adjust the tune accordingly. Hopefully it solve the hot motor issues. Thanks

[@moren0d1]

Subscribed. Excellent review video!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you.

[@TerminatorDuo]

Can you tell wich of the 2 babyhawks will have better flight time? The 112 or the 136?

[@archer4922]

Nick I hear the wires are that long bc they have a 3 inch arm kit avail for this quad and supposedly a 4 inch arm set coming soon. Love his little micro. The specs are amazing and the footage I've seen it looks like the best 2 inch out there period.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Not to be a scenic, but nearly every rtf I have flown has that much motor wire extra. I think its more likely this is just a faster/cheaper way to assemble, the motor wires come with an end exposed and tinned. Only one step to the assembly. It could be true (different arms), but predictions are only good if they are true. If it doesn't become true, is the source still valid? My $.02

[@archer4922]

Nick Burns no I agree, my flyegg 100 has enough wire to fit a 115 or 120 frame. Just repeating what I heard kababfpv say. But I'm not seeing the arms on emax website yet. So I can't really confirm they are actually doing 3 inch arms.

[@waltrcorp]

Great video Nick! I literally have the same components but obviously different frame. Could you provide me with a cl dump of your settings. The reason why I ask is because i updated the fc to 3.2.2 but even time i try a punch out it’s flutters and dips to the right. I have spent hours trying to tune but to no success. Mine flys great as long it’s on low throttle but where’s the fun in that.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Here is the dump drive.google.com/file/d/1soXKF71i1UF_tVHze1fzvh8Nq970-9mv/view?usp=sharing

[@RCFlyer85]

You can find those batteries on Amazon...

[@DroneLoversFPV]

Another great review of another great little flyer, is it just me or is this one slower then the original Baby Hawk?!? A couple of days ago I was trying to do one of your climbs over my cousin's house but ended up having to climb the roof to get the Leader back, looool... No damage but a few scratches and a bend prop, I still have a long way to go until I fly half as good as you do sir, eh eh... ah, the issue I was having with it must have been because of the battery being low because it never happened again... All the best Nick

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The narrower fov will make it appear to move slower. The original had a super wide AIO cam/vtx likely 150+ degrees. The Foxeer lens feels like it might only be 120.

[@bzfpv5311]

Great review as always Nick. Just curious, What is your preferred camera? Runcam? Version? Foxeer?. I'm looking to upgrade some of my quads. Maybe an Eagle or Swift 2....

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I am mostly familiar with runcam in the micro cam arena. I do like the eagle when I use a full sized. I prefer the wider fov of runcam over foxeer.

[@bzfpv5311]

Nick Burns Awesome! Thank you so much. I wanted an opinion from someone with way more experience than me👍 I'm leaning towards the swift 2 or eagle 2. 16:9

[@FarmerFpv]

Awesome Review, how would you like to try the new CNHL mini star 3s 650 70c lipo on that? I'm looking for qualified testers like yourself and it would work amazing on this quad since it weighs pretty close to the 450 size packs, So what do you think can I have some shipped to you?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I can sure test. Send me an email to [e-mail], we can work out the detail there.

[@JerryCalverley]

Will a vtx ufl antenna without a bell work? It is thicker than the receiver antennas and snaps firmly on the ufl connection.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

without a bell? Are we talking about the aluminimum end covered at the heat shrink? if that is one but the end is still there it will be fine. The end is the most important part, the end is "tuned" to 5.8ghz at 12.93mm, or a measurement real close to that.

[@zCodGame]

I would like to insert a flysky receiver (PPM) in this quad. Are the cables for the receiver already welded to the flight controller in the PNP version?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I can't say, I didn't receive the PNP version.

[@ToddtheLoneDroner]

Thanks a lot dude, do you know where I could get some propellers for this

[@NickBurnsFPV]

here pirofliprc.com/AVAN-MICRO-2-INCH-PROPELLER-6-CW-6-2X22X4-CCW-BULK-PACK_p_4437.html

[@dronedoutrc5970]

Do you get hot motors with this? I tried dal props q2035c and the avan and get some heat. Maybe stock PID are too much for it.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

No, only slightly warm. But its winter and the weathers has been at most 50F.

[@Jimster71]

How well did it handle the wind and how windy was it?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Its heavy enough it handles a pretty good wind. In the flight footage I would estimate 15mph wind with guts over 25mph.

[@headfog7621]

I would move the CAP to the backside of the xt30 and shrink wrap it.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Like Diatone.

[@zekeisme1]

does it come with a receiver. and if it does is it dsmx spektrum. or will i need my own?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

you can buy it with a receiver, I think frsky is the only option but that could have changed since I last looked

[@nsnowaert4690]

looks like they did a much better job on this than the original baby hawk

[@NickBurnsFPV]

For sure, although I have heard from many that enjoy the original, but I think they take the components out and put them on another frame.

[@nsnowaert4690]

Yeah mine wasnt to bad flew pretty decent but i had an esc go bad by my fifth flight

[@davidfarmer1736]

Looks good, seems like I heard an echo from the props. Is it loud?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

It is not loud. The sound it emits is much less aggressive if that makes sense, likely a little bee or fly whizzing around.

[@FlexRC]

I think that GNB batteries give you longer flight times because their C rating is wrong, this is why they have less punch. But I'm not sure if it is fun enough to have flight just over a minute?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

This is likely going to need a 550mah or more for most to get the flight over 2.5mins.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I think the main feature is the price point with components. There are much better performing 2inch quads, not none RTF at $149.

[@ZenMountain]

I haven't been able to fly mine because I can't find the right size for the hex driver for those screws!!! Please! What Hex driver size do I need? Thanks!!!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I believe its 1.5mm, I suggest getting a set including the 1.5mm and 2mm they are the most commonly used now.

[@ZenMountain]

I got the set of 8 and none worked. But finally... just came back from the Hardware Store and got the right one. Didn't want to risk buying the wrong one again on Amazon. It was actually not a Hex. Will be flying tomorrow!! Thank you :)

[@lukacala321]

Hi! Great review! Like usual! Nick could you or somebody else please help me with info about the batteries for Babyhawk R. I could only buy batteries with 700 and 800 mAh. 3S and 4S. And I can see that you and the others fly with 450 - 550 mAH, so I am not sure are mine 700-800mAh to strong? I can wait to fly it, but I am not sure are the batteries to strong. Thank you in advance.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

It will fly with those, the agility will be decreased due to the weight, as long as they are quality batteries.

[@lukacala321]

Thank you very much for your answer. Great news! I can fly it! As soon as snow in Croatia stops.

[@ktrimberger]

I'm having a hard time seeing past that capacitor sticking out the side like a bloated tick.

[@ilovefishing943]

why did it look like it whase strugaling at the lunch

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thats me (pilot), to much forward pitch and not enough throttle, the battery wire was also dragging on the table, I need to "pop up" more on launch.

[@dronereviewman9580]

That thing looks bad to the bone!!! Think it will be my next buy!! Nice review thanks!!!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

thank you

[@28daballa]

I need one.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Should be hitting shelves in the next week or two.

[@scootroter4859]

Really? Better than your favorite the Leader 120? Plus, BH - 149.99...Leader 120 - 89.99...a big difference there! Please tell me what you think. Merry Christmas to you and your family and thanks for the time and effort to make videos for us! 🎅

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I don't put them in the same category, the biggest difference is the ccd camera and its ready to fly. Buy a leader add the ccd cam we still have to do the work of retro fitting and add our own receiver. The leader does out perform this by a fairly large margin in pure flight characteristics, but some just don't want anything without a ccd camera.

[@scootroter4859]

Nick Burns... Me, I'd rather have the far superior flyer and change the camera out if I didn't think the Leader 120's camera was up to par. Haven't really heard that though and many videos show it to be not bad at all. Changing the camera is quite easy and cheao compared to "attempting" to get the Babyhawk R to fly even close to as good as the Leader 120. Surely it would cost far more than changing a camera. I appreciate your review, but I'm not sold on the heavy, unimpressive BHR with it's growth out of its side! (cap) Lol

[@zeesh0267]

Does it come in a flysky version

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I don't believe so, but it does come pnp where we add an rx.

[@NorgeSquad]

I have this. I had to reset the settings so messed up the tune. and can't find it annywhere :( Also hard when F3 Flight Controllers are not supported yet. What Would you do in my situation?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I would probably run quicksilver on it

[@NorgeSquad]

@@NickBurnsFPV how does that work?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@NorgeSquad similar to betaflight its a web based flasher and configurator with presets config.bosshobby.com/#/home

[@stumdavies]

Would a runcam split 2 fit this?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Not without moddification. This is 20x20 stack.

[@ForfeitKhadgar]

Is it Frsky Protocol? The receiver looks like it's an XM or XM+

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yes, Frsky, it could be but the button is so different than the xm receivers.

[@emotionalbeats7178]

Is it possible to use small flysky receiver like rx2a or a8s with i6x tx with this quad? Thats what I have... Still dont have a drone.

[@danskifpv]

Put the cap through the top hole and paint a redbull sign on it ☺

[@NickBurnsFPV]

ha....sponsorship. Does RedBull sponsor any drone pilots?

[@danskifpv]

Nick Burns You could pioneer it Nick ☺

[@wooler78]

This little thing rips

[@NickBurnsFPV]

At $149 its hard to beat

[@therearviewr.tapper1771]

Gt-R90, Lizard95 or this bad boy? Also think you should do a mixtape kinda dig the dvr soundrack!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I don't have either of those. I have the Dino95 which is close lizard95

[@therearviewr.tapper1771]

Not sure what you mean. You saying the Q95 is better than this? And that the Q95 is close to the Lizard?...Would love to see you review the diatone though!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I can't really compare either (GT-R90 or Lizard95) to the babyhawk R. I haven't flown the R90 or Lizard. Making a comparison without flight I would expect the GT-R90 would come out on top in its current form. But if changing arms is something you might want to do we can only do that with the BabyHawk R. Diatone did contact me.....they said to keep growing the channel (lol) and they like the content, and have been following. But no R90 yet. :( I would have to buy one to review it.

[@did3d523]

accro mode?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yes

[@TheAfroengineer]

Nice review as always can't wait till mine comes in was one of the first pre-orders. Nick Burns Betafpv also sells a 450 3s (2-$25)that is as good as that GNB. I could be wrong but I believe the GNB and Betafpv batteries are the same just different packaging as they preform the same and sell same mah s size batteries.. Amazon sells Betafpv packs and Betafpv is a Prime company so you can get them state side in one or two days to your door.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yes, Betafpv appears to be "re-labeling" GNB batteries (still ship from Chine), or they have an agreement with GNB...who knows

[@TheAfroengineer]

Nick Burns Amazon sells them in the United States and they are a Prime company so as long as Amazon is fulfilling the order it only 2 day shipping.

[@therealjonnyd]

GNB is an OEM supplier, they will make custom batts for anyone with money haha.

[@wadestewart3042]

Yeah 4s what size would is going to be the best for run time Vs performance.?? Yes plz P.s I got my first GNB ‘s but the wrong ones didn’t pay attention to the blue and silver haha

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Will do.

[@RockTouching]

PIDs you showed are stock betaflight pids btw :P

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Your right, I need to check if I switch the pid profile.

[@RockTouching]

Maybe you flew with stock pids also? I had the impression it didn't look as locked in as your quads usually do.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I just got confirmation it is not "pro" tuned, but rather pilot input and BF "tweaks". I might follow up if I can get some good weather.

[@RockTouching]

Great, thanks for the update. You'll get it flying perfect I'm sure, the hardware is pretty good. Although I would've liked it to be able to swing 2.5inch props.

[@engizmo]

This one or the gtr 90, which is better for acro, speed and durability when flying an a 3s 550mah?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yea, I can't truthfully answer that. I haven't flown the gtr90.

[@SnowbirdSteeze]

I too am curious

[@therearviewr.tapper1771]

Yes i want a vs on all these micros. The GT-R90 has a kick ass vtx

[@fpvclub7256]

Rocket!

[@deadmoo83]

PiroFlip preorder comes with a free CNHL 500mah 3S. Any experience with those batteries?

[@TheAfroengineer]

They are good quality batteries but is kind of low c so well have to see how it works with this drone xt-30 helps alot.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I don't. What I have "heard/read" they are heavy compared to others in the category. Some love them, some say they are only ok.

[@therealjonnyd]

Nick Burns definitely heavy and not nearly as punchy as a GNB. Only one that truly compares to a GNB micro batt is probably the indestructible quads batteries that just released.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I just bought 5. I look forward to giving them a go. Thank you for the tip.

[@deadmoo83]

I bought 2. Thanks.

[@johnschofield4027]

This or the leader 120?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

hmm. not the same really, different categories. BabyHawk R will be more robust, but the leader is going to be quicker. Babyhawk R has a ccd camera, leader doesn't and retrofitting is questionable.

[@johnschofield4027]

Nick Burns ok thanks

[@johnnydepp4114]

resistor??? i think you mean capacitor

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yep, my mistake.

[@George64G]

Ill be the first to say that thing flys way better then Crappy Hawk V1.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

ha, yes vast improvement.

[@deadmoo83]

This seems slow to me. But maybe just because you have been reviewing more 3 inchers lately.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The field of view is also more narrow than I typically fly. This is a 2.3mm lens, I usually fly 2.1mm. The wider fov makes speed more apparent or greater, big reason why the GoPro is so drone popular.

[@AllenBrooks]

Front runner maybe for bnf, building no, for 30-35 more grams I can make a 140mm 1407 beast that will eat this. Yes it runs 4s, can handle it, but do I see a 2840 sitting on there, nope! Even with the extended arms...also the capacitor slangged out the side is pure crap. Rip that off with some needle nose, then go rip it...that's a true test😂 Emax, did okay, the hawk 5 they crushed!

[@hellfire08]

This, or an 85 dollar leader 120 and a boatload of spare props and gnb batteries🤔🤔🤔

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Does the image quality of the Foxeer camera matter? If so this, if not likely the leader.

[@wait..what.]

hellfire08 yahtzee!!! 🍻

[@wait..what.]

hellfire08 20a board with the leader is worth it imo, and then just get a smaller frame and scoot parts to your frame of choice 😊 less wasted money with parts that can be upgraded and moved around.

[@ricktucker7560]

Wait, What? I, unfortunately, had a bad experience with the leader. Mine came with a bad ESC and I am getting the good old gearbest run around (about two weeks of back and forth before getting more hoops to jump through just to prove that it’s a bad esc). I would rather just buy another leader or something else rather than go through this crap. I have a feeling that is what they want though. Anyway, if I can get the EMax from a place with some support it would be worth every extra penny. Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention that the instructions are in broken English, always a bonus 😒

[@wait..what.]

Rick Tucker that stinks. i've had a couple of issues with gearbest and dead quads before. they refunded one and gave me the send video or photos email about 5 times, even though i kept sending them the photos and video over and over.. i gave up on that one. mostly they make it right, but it is a pain to deal with either way. hope they get you properly squared away quickly. good luck 👍🏽

80+ grams is heavy as hell for a 2" rig, you can really tell when you punch up over the house, maybe 4s is the solution :)

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Its on the heavy side for sure, that might be good for starters as I can't see anyone breaking the 3mm arms. But even if they do the arms can be replaced. A single bottom plate would like cut some needed grams.

[@CiottiFPV]

Does it feel heavy in the air?

sorry that's a capacitor

[@NickBurnsFPV]

yep, brain tongue lockup

Jesus that cap is hideous

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Not pretty, I actually want to take it off and see if I can tell any difference.

[@therealjonnyd]

The whole thing is hideous. Looks like a dung beetle!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Of the two "colors" the clear is my preference, but I would sure buy a nice blue. :)

[@KwadSkwad]

by cap I meant he capacitor, but yea the canopy isn't really an issue to me.

[@therealjonnyd]

Kwad Skwad he was responding to me lol
