FrSky Taranis QX7: How to set up SWITCHES and BETAFLIGHT

[@dandarefpv1860]

I keep coming back to this video even though I wouldn't consider myself a 'true' noob anymore, simply because it is one of the best I've seen about this process. Clear, concise, no nonsense.

[@pavlosgrivas343]

What to say... Been struggling for two weeks now. You saved my “rear side” man. A million thanks. Clear, articulate and to the point. Big thank you😀😀

[@gvanausdle]

Your a life saver. I was about to give up when I came across this tutorial. I couldn't find one on binding the tiny hawk 2 to the Tq. Thanks so much. It works!

[@TheGregFarnum]

I have one on Binding as well

[@vbp6us]

Best video on explaining this for a noob. Thank you!

[@Goon872]

Thank for explaining stuff like we dont already know like every other fpv channel. They talk about getting people into the hobby but act like the basic stuff should already be known.

[@TheGregFarnum]

You are welcome I teach the way I want to learn

[@Mad-A]

Dude, thank you. I'm brand new to this hobby and couldn't understand any of it till I seen this video. Literally got me flying for the first time. Thanks!

[@TheGregFarnum]

Glad I could help! its intimidating for sure but youlll get the hang of it!

[@Norminal1]

Thanks so much. I have spent literally months trying to get my quads working after foolishly thinking I knew what I was doing 4.5 years ago. You made it simple and easy for us techtarded people. Thanks so much.

[@LeeHazleton]

Greg, Fantastic videos! Can't thank you enough. I've been flying 1S brushed Tinywhoops for a while now with a Jumper T8SG V2 PLUS. I'm just making the move to brushless whoops. Bought a Tinyhawk 2, but the Jumper doesn't have D8, so I bought the Taranis QX7. Flies great! This wouldn't have been possible without your fantastic instruction. This is also my first time using Betaflight, which scared the hell out of me at first. You've made the entire process simple and painless.

[@TheGregFarnum]

Thank you Im going to have some more videos coming out on the process of setting it up too is there anything you are trying to do but don't know how?

[@LeeHazleton]

@@TheGregFarnum Everything's good for now. Just keep pumping out your top notch videos! Again, thanks!

[@gregfleer4251]

Thank's for the vid. Bought a tiny hawk 2 race and without your video I would not be able to fly it because the shops are closed and I jus tbought new frsky and don't know how to set one up. Also all the other videos are to had for me to understand and yours was perfect for me.

[@TheGregFarnum]

Glad it was easy to follow!

Thanks Greg! Just ordered my Tinyhawk II, and you made my life easier for when it arrives.

[@TheGregFarnum]

You'll love it!

[@jonathanp639]

great video man. easy to follow. i love your tone of voice for this type of guide videos. keep it up. looking forward to watching the video about how to pair to the googles.

[@TheGregFarnum]

Thanks been away for a while but coming back to it and will have that video out soon!

[@duggerinc]

I've looked at many videos on how to setup switches, this one wins. Good job!

[@BlueOvals24]

Your 2 videos on this are going to help me a lot. I'm just getting into FPV and the QX7 was my radio of choice and I'll either be getting a Tinyhawk S or 2 after a bit of simulator flying.

[@RixFPV]

Total beginner and you helped me out a lot. One thing I learned through also was the binding. I just plugged in my TH2 to USB then in the console did bind_rx, set the radio, restarted and all was well. Thanks again!

[@ScottDavisPhotography]

Im looking to start this, great video easy to follow and understand, keep up the good work.

[@TheGregFarnum]

Thanks so much scott

[@ryanfay2059]

Thank you very much for this video. My first FPV drone is getting here 2 days, this video has made me more confident that I know what to do

[@g.s.921]

Absolutely the best and most thorough walkthrough!

[@IsraelRodriguez-qv8qc]

Excellent video, easy to follow, thanks!

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

Your channel is seriously underrated.

[@ShorePelican55]

Thank you! Got my QX7 today and this video was invaluable in getting my Tinyhawk (original) working. FYI - this original Tinyhawk worked with Receiver settings of SPI RX Support and FRSKY_D, just like the S model. Will now try to set up my Tinyhawk Freestyle. Again - appreciate the step by step instructions.

[@MakerOnTheMove]

Thank you so much for these videos! They've been SUPER helpful. I just watched this and the previous video first to set up my Tinyhawk 2 a coupe weeks ago, and just now again to set up my new tinyhawk freestyle.

[@levdi]

Thank you buddy, you helped, I could not set up the remote control for 2 weeks)))

Which method did you use to get the left stick to stay down instead of springing to the middle?

[@sumdood2035]

Even though i have mine setup like yours, the beeper and turtle both light up when i move to last position. Turtle doesn't seem to be activating in the middle position. I haven't tried in an actual flight, but it doesn't seem right.

[@nicolajhaahr6714]

Hey! I have a problem I bought a taranis qx7 for a couple of weeks ago and practice in velocidrone simulator. Now i got myself a tinyhawk freestyle 2. I did manage to connect the controller to the drone and bind sticks. My problem is. when i throttle, the propellers start spinning, but not enough to get in to air. When i roll/tilt it only tries to go left.

[@davidmcnae]

Is this the same for setting up the 2 Freestyle? Just bought that and the same controller.

[@lorenzoantoniazzi1718]

thanks for this good tutorial! anybody knows why in the receiver tab my sticks can't move any of the bars? (i have telemetry, the receiver is binded to the radio)

[@bob14072]

I'm using the EMAX Tinyhawk 2.5 Freestyle BNF. I did everything you did and it works. But, when I throttle down the motors slow for a second and then speed up. According to Betaflight 1 and 4 motors are almost full throttle, 2 and 3 are about half. The only way it stops is when i switch off the Arm. Any Idea how to fix this?

[@cwdgamedev1017]

What is the 'Flip Over After Crash' mode all about? I set the aux channel but nothing happens when I hit that switch with the quad armed

[@MrDavcrockett]

I can't get my QX7 to work with my Tinyhawk 2. I followed you all the way until i get to config, dshot600, receiver-serial-based, serial receiver provider-SBUS, then when I go to Receiver to see if stick moves on beta flight, nothing works. no movement.

[@nvfpv]

7:10 - wasnt the beeper the right 3 step switch not the left one?

[@LT7_TV]

i was wondering if theres any difference for the tiny hawk freestyle 2 i been tryin to bind it usin this since this is the most in depth video but still no luck

[@xiao9738]

Can the controller use for (Original Eachine Tyro79 FPV Racing RC Drone DIY Version F4 OSD 20A BLHeli) the drone?

[@twp3029]

why are my aux switches not working in beta flight? everything else shows the radio controller to be working.

[@CarbonGlassMan]

Does this only work for 8 channels? I cannot get channel 9 to work no matter what. I set it up in the radio just like you've done but in Betaflight that switch for channel or Input 9 does not work. It should be AUX5 in Betaflight but it does not move when I hit the switch. Everything else works.

[@antoniodivito3179]

when i try to arm.. the quad blinking fast. the other inputs are ok .. what's wrong ?

[@fallinshadow1]

Followed it to a T but not fully working. Everything checks out in Betaflight, but I cant get it to arm. I can make it beep and change modes but arm is the only thing that doesn't work. Im using the Frsky X7 and the Tiny Hawk 2. Any help would be appreciated

[@katari91]

Hi. Great video, got my first quad flying. But I have an issue now, I wanted to go back and add a prearm, have set the switch I want to use up on the Taranis in both Inputs and Mixer, and this looks to be working fine on the radios main menu. However when I go into betaflight it does not recognise that the new switch has been assigned, I flip it and nothing happens. Do I need to re-bind the quad after setting uo new switches?

[@rafaellopes4271]

I’m trying to activate AUX 5, I put it on mixer but on betaflight only work until AUX 4, can you help me?

This is impossible to bind with the D16 version of this remote. Dont make the same mistake I have. I have purchased the TinyHawk Freestyle, as well as a non-EU version of the FRSKY TaranisQ X7 (access) I have effectively spent over $400 on the two; and neither of them I can use. Majorly pissed.

@Greg how did you get betaflight?

[@Jackrichardsvids]

how do you actually arm turtle mode, that is the only switch not working

There is a separate setup in the programming. its a sequence of flipping switches off and on

Is this a taranis X7 access? Bc im tying to pair and found out its not pairing bc there is no d8 mode on this thing. Very new to the fpv world and literally everything got delivered today my fatshark my drone and taranis Q X7 access. Any help you could offer? I can't find anything on firmware updates only thing I've found is frsky XJT lite-2.4ghz 16ch radio transmitter module to make it compatible.

Greg hi again. I need your help mate perhaps you could help me: After a couple of “fall off the sky” type of crashes, my tinyhawk 2 just comes in and out of bind. Sometimes just after connecting a fully charged battery it beeps intermittently and does not connect to transmitter, sometimes it binds and starts to fly and after a few seconds it just falls from sky again. Any ideas?
