LEARN TO FLY FPV | Emax Tinyhawk RTF Kit (Pt 2: First Flight)

[@RCGirl]

Update: It's the transmitter that cant be powered up without an antenna connected (the one on the quad). It doesn't harm anything on the receiver side or the goggles.

[@JeanCarlos-jy5dj]

Hi, we're you able to find upgraded antennas for the goggles? Im trying to find some but there are so many that im not sure which would work.. Thank you,

[@efrainrojasjr8920]

Great flying. Now my daughter believes me there’s girls that fly drones. Thanks for giving my little girl something good to look forward to. Keep up the good work

[@ugpfpv361]

Love that you love fpv drones and that you are bringing it to a wider audience. And yes get to acro asap I remember when I first started and the first days of acro can be challenging but that's what make it fun always new trick or style you can learn... You'll be flying with us in no time! Oh and on your rates it's something that you have to figure out on your own, once you've been flying a bit you shouldn't be fighting the sticks, if you push the sticks for what you think should be a full roll... Then that's what should happen, if you are finding yourself rather under or over rotating then adjust you max dps (degrees per second)accordingly... If it feels too sensitive in the center of the sticks then add more expo. Ps been watching your channel for a bit and though I'm only into quads at the .moment you've got me wanting to branch out... Keep up the great content!

[@RCGirl]

Aw thanks for the encouragement and info!!

[@FlyerTuck]

Good video! But about the antennas... It's the transmitter that cant be powered up without an antenna connected. The one on the quad. It doesn't harm anything on the receiver side or the goggles.

[@rawfpv184]

We have a new FPV addict!!! I can see it in you eyes!! Its OK I had the same look. Admitting it is the first step. Great flying, and welcome to FPV!!!!

[@sixtofive]

Nice flying! That's a great kit to get started with. One more thing you can do with it is to get a simulator like Lift Off on your computer. You can use that transmitter to learn acro flying with no risk of breaking anything or walks to retrieve your quad. Welcome to fpv!

[@KevinTalbotTV]

i just got that drone, trying to learn fpv. good job by the way

[@RCOverKill]

How's the fpv going?

[@twigs2402]

You always make my day

[@stephond.photography9867]

I’m actually waiting for my kit to be delivered today. I purchased the Holy Stone HS270 and was disappointed because I couldn’t fly it like I imagined, but I have started using it for photography so it’s still a win. I can’t wait to fly this lil buzz saw like a Star Wars cruiser or a hawk chasing it’s pray. The vids are awesome thanks

[@adehardy]

The Tinyhawk 2 does allow you to turn up the video tx from 25 - 200 which would improve the video quality without further spending on antennae.

[@boostid8026]

Where can you get antennas if needed??

[@sheapyfpv8224]

Love the way she says weeeee lol brilliant these drones bring out the big kids in us all.

[@supjay3945]

your beginner tips are what makes the video different than other videos

[@fpvpilot7713]

I have a similar little quad and they are fun because they dont break easily. I found that the video works best when I am far away from noise such as wifi, etc. My range was double at our flying field compared to a nearby school yard. I finally changed me video tx to a 100 mw and now it works really well.

[@Blizofoz45]

The best part is AIO fpv cameras are only $18 on amazon and the little whoop batteries to power them are super cheap as well. I stuck one on a little RC car and it felt like I was going 200mph in the living room.

[@dareelamb1964]

Recently purchased the tiny hawk 2. First time doing fpv. I do have to get different goggles as the ones that ce with it won't fit over my glasses. Enjoyed you video.

[@RDsRCReviews]

That's great that the kit includes spare props. The standalone drone doesn't so I nearly was unable to review mine when I lost a prop in my backyard. Thankfully my wife found it. You are a fast learner. Is this your first drone because you are a great flyer! Fpv it actually easier in many respects because as you said in this video you don't have to worry about your orientation and reversed controls. One thing to be mindful of is those spare Makerfire are standard 4.20v and the Tinyhawk charger says 4.35v on the back and there's no voltage switch so unless it has an internal sensor then I suspect it'll ruin those extra lipos. I wish I could get mine outdoors and do some flying but it is too cold here :(

[@RDsRCReviews]

You already replied to the voltage question so you can disregard that. Glad you got LiHV. I wish the standalone drone came with extra props!

[@Savagemister]

I just got this kit today. I'm slamming this poor hawk into everything lol. Holy crap, this is hard. I'm here to learn some tips. Thank you.

[@QuadflyerX]

A pagoda antenna would be a good choice too and is reasonably priced. This is a great video for a beginner to watch, GOOD job

[@jesseabadie7872]

I was wondering if the pagodas made much of a difference?

[@husaberg12]

Glad you’ve got into fpv,and great introduction vid to help explain it to new people wondering how it is!!..and how the orientation is always the same!..and it really is fun flying like your inside the little aircraft 🙂😎...I’m using a far vew Pagoda antenna and a menace pico patch on my goggles👍

[@alancarter8396]

Great control for a novice. I’m ordering mine right now. Been flying all kinds of drones for about 3 years. Got a little Red Pepper, it’s ok but this looks way better.

[@tsrealtexan7333]

You make it look really easy. I’m struggling inside the house. I’ve smashed the you know what out of it

[@birdman316]

nice flying! i love fpv flying....been flying something fpv every day since march 12 of last year...mostly whoops and also stepping outside as well weather permitting...

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

I loved your advice about adjacent antennas, ive been religious about that now since I’ve learned that from you!

[@EJ3.16]

Rc Girl 👍🏻👍🏻 very good very nice thank you for sharing,, but wondering those fpv they look heavy are they???

[@alexscovers1488]

This is gonna be my first real fpv race drone and this video and the part 1 video helped me a lot with a complete overview so thanks.

[@mrzon9344]

The goggles run diversity ie they choose the best signal between the 2 antenna. A patch antenna has higher gain but is directional (cone shaped area) so point it in the direction you are predominantly flying. The mushroom reception is donut shaped with less range than the patch but in all directions but directly on axis with antenna and normally set upright, and high.

[@RCGirl]

Thanks for the info!

[@mrzon9344]

Pleasure.. Another consideration is that antenna come in 3 varients - Linear , Right Hand Circular Polarized (RHCP) and Left Hand Circular polarized (LHCP). The tiny Hawk will have linear (dipol) so idealy you willl need linear antenna for the goggles. the polarized setup helps with reflected signals (flying near walls etc) They do work with linear but with a loss (lower gain) I believe. The last thing you'll need to check before you buy is the connector on the goggles either RP-SMA or SMA (you can get adapters).

[@washingtonstatepicker3460]

The antennas should not be vertically and horizontally polarized?

[@briankoops5171]

I'm not sure what GHz that one is...but I believe that 5.8 hz is better than the 2.4 hz for range and signal clarity. I read that somewhere...but it makes sense. You should try a big brushless now....before they make you get a license to operate these. Fun vids Hayley...keep it up....your smile is very inviting.

[@ugpfpv361]

5.8 for video and 2.4 for rc control. The other popular one for rc control is also in the 900 range

[@briankoops5171]

Okee doke....new I was close,but I don't fly fpv...I like line of sight, so I got a big Bugs with a go pro style Apeman camera....big megapixel, clear video. Loving MJX products...got the Bugs mini too....awesome!

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

Yet another great video. Do you happen to know how I can use those box goggles and controller to edit my name on screen, or turn on the turtle mode...? Thanks! Great flying, by the way!

[@AsgardStudios]

Glad I found your channel @RC Girl. Cool little rig. I bought the Eachine E013 that's also a complete RTF setup. This definitely looks more powerful with its brushless motors.

[@How-To-RC]

Ah... you have one of these 😄 i ended up buying the cetus x it is an awesome drone. Only draw back... i am struggling to learn to use the remote 😄

[@eyeonyou3540]

What antennas to run on the goggles? And will it even make a difference on a cheap pair like these.

[@BiggyC-dh2kn]

Does the quality of the VR look clear through the drone camera?

[@jcastanza]

I think that’s the only nitpick I have is no DVR, I wish they would have at least put an SD card in the goggles, but clever thinking using the phone lol. Also was that all in 25mW mode? Because at 200mW in an open field it should have been much cleaner video without so much noise?

[@vanillabean3183]

Late to the game, but do the props turn on instantly when you arm the drone? Mine do and I'm not sure if that's correct.

[@charfei5163]

How difficult is it to hover without altitude hold?

[@elis51501]

I stumbled on your channel months ago, I remember stating then that you should try fpv quad piloting:) I am sooo happy for you to have jumped on board with this great hobby! Just subbed your channel. Happy Flying.

[@michaelmatthews6421]

Just wait til you learn acro!! You'll really have a blast!

[@MrGone2k]

Better to stay with stock dipole antennas if you are keeping the tinyhawk's dipole antenna. You'll get signal loss going with a circular polarized omni. Or go nuts and upgrade both ;)

[@fabianc1650]

Hello I am Fabian from France . I have just bought my Tinyhawk and I made a mistake in beta flight. I have reset my drone and now I can’t do anything with my transmitter. My brushes don’t work anymore . Do you thing you could help me please? Because in France it is impossible to find help. I really don’t know how to put it back , ready to fly...?? Thank you very much for your answers . And really sorry for my bad english

[@jamesarneson7769]

I purchased an emax tiny hawk without a remote. wonder if you know where I can buy a remote for it

[@skorpiolovesmith]

Mine just came in this week! Played in my garage for the 4 minutes so I didn’t get off the ground much. I gotta get more batteries too. What’s your suggestion for battery upgrade?

[@entertainmentunlimited3256]

Do you think it is good for beginners and ppl with little experience? Is the controller good? It's look likes a toy controller.

[@monkeytrident]

@The RC Girl I am a bit late to fpv, I am able to fly a camera drone dgi mini 3 which is a no brainer to fly, however today I just received my Tiny Hawk 2 with goggles and remote, do I need to do Simulation ?

[@leongcheemeng6080]

Hi I’m a new beginner I just buy a new emax May i ask How to charge the goggles and controller pls ? Use what charger ?

[@hobie0001]

How were you able to record the video played through the goggles?

[@SkyGizmmo]

Thanx so very much for covering tiny hawk. Great content with a sweet femrc energy!

[@noteden3446]

It's been a long time since this video got uploaded but if you are still using those goggles replace them with the eachine 007 pro asap way clearer signal

[@sonarfleet2375]

My first drone was Mavic mini, very good quad. After o bought tyro 129, I can’t fly even 30 seconds without a crash. I decide to buy tinyhawk 2 to learn and the same. I can’t control the drone. I am felling very bad. When I am on liftoff I fly very well, but in real live never yet. I am completely frustrated. I have flat shark hdo2 + rapid fire and nothing help me to stay at least 1 minute flying. You fly very well congratulations

[@kumbackquatsta]

do the goggles work with glasses?

[@yahalomschwartz]

Hi, how did you recorded the video? Thanks

[@roylindsey7030]

Great videos, good job showing all the setup in the first and nice flying.

[@STIjojoSTI]

Can this drone be paired to any brand fpv goggles? Or is the stock fpv goggles ok already? How can hou record videos using stock fpv goggles? Where can you get external dvr recorders? I dont have an fpv drone yet and planning to get my first one soon. Thinking of the tinyhawk 2 or tinyhawk race.

[@Grahame59]

Another great video, RC Girl. You are doing a lot for the hobby, keep it up! Great to hear that the software is Mac compatible. Do you know if you can wear spectacles while using the goggles? I know some goggles are glasses friendly, others less so. Grahame

[@dv2045]

Im between this drone and the E013 Micro Mini Quadcopter

[@RayRiv73]

Great Video! Im about to buy my beginner fpv Quad and you helped make my decision on this one but i have a question...the 450mah Battery doesnt make it to two minutes. How many minutes you get with the higher mah batteries?

[@rtcfpv1012]

Have you tried the mockingbird V2 on it?

[@michaelrohlmann4661]

Must i trim with the original settings the transmitter like yaw and so on?

[@boostid8026]

Where can you get the antennas

[@Quad8ightMix]

Thanks for sharing this very nice video, does this tinyhawk have optical flow or altitude hold?

[@thephotobike6653]

Can the tiny hawk run on 2s battery?

[@illpro2]

Since those battereies are so cheap to get long flight times get HV batteries that you can charge to 4.35 and run them down to 2.9 or 3.0v. It reduces the length of the battery but the batteries are really not that long lasting to begin with. I think a 6 pack of 260mAh HV batteries is like $20. Good review.

[@skairkrow9800]

8( The higher capacity battery link is missing.

[@BLUESUNNL]

Nice video.. I started with this kit yesterday. Thank for learning me. 1 question.. you showed your video of flying on your telephone.. how did you do that?

[@RCGirl]

I just put my phone in front of the goggles and flew the drone line of sight

[@BLUESUNNL]

Thank you for your answer. I subscribed your channel.

[@NickKnowles262]

I've seen a few videos where people are doing DVR with these - any idea on how to do this?

[@checkeredflagfilms]

I have this TH kit and would like to upgrade to a "affordable" D8 compatible transmitter. Any suggestions?

[@davidrivero7943]

This just getting better & better. Send it & TY. !!

[@Gynotai]

I bought this drone, and if you need glasses to see, the goggles might not work for you. Without my glasses, I can't see the display clearly so I'm either going to return it or see if I can figure out a way to be able to use it with my glasses.

[@Riiiizla]

Looks a right laugh I'm looking at getting 1st fpv 'race' drone..I'm not sure about this one but for the price & coming with everything you need to fly out the box is a big plus for it & not gonna break the bank if/when I smash it to pieces, are they worth upgrading, can you get parts that would fit it like better motors. Nice one for the video nice little review too. Btw haven't those goggles got room for a SD card to record on..just wandering why you had to use your phone😁

[@Riiiizla]

Oops sorry I was looking at the tinyhawk 3🤭

[@rockman49er]

Are you still into fpv and did you learn acro or are you back to the crawlers and rc cars.im hooked on fpv for life stil have rc cars but hardly ever use anymore great video

[@gatti493]

nice video , who is filming ??

[@kiefmaker]

Try changing the video channel if you are losing signal, i can fly my TH a lot farther without any signal problems. Also pick up some 4 bladed props for turtle mode(auto flip over)!

[@HumbleHeartMinistry]

When you learn betaflight I hope you make a video of you setting up a micro drone. Because most of the people who make them go so fast and speak the rc lingo, so it makes it real hard for a betaflight beginner to follow along. Besides that I just love your video`s!

[@StacemanFPV]

Just ditch angle... go straight for acro.. it really will fly better that way. And it's actually easier to fly.... the longer you fly in angle, the harder it is to switch. Acro mode makes a lot more sense once you start. Basically, the pitch/roll sticks correspond to how fast you want to move in that direction, and not how much of an angle you want. So basically if you pitch forward, and go back to center stick, the quad will maintain that angle, until you pull back to adjust the angle.

[@RCGirl]

Ahh interesting. that's the best description I've gotten of how that mode works. Thanks!

[@StacemanFPV]

@@RCGirl in acro, it's a lot like flying a plane. Basically it doesn't re-level itself. What you'll find is that when flying in acro, you'll be at center stick or close to center stick much of the time. In LOS it's a good bit harder, but with fpv, flying acro makes way more sense. This is coming from someone who flew the self level modes for well over a couple of years before switching. It took a good bit of unlearning, but I'd never go back. None of my quads have that mode any more.

[@Jronesfpv]

angle mode is good for indoors. but big areas acro is more fun.

[@walkershot92]

Actually when racing with a "whoop" style drone its easier and better to use horizon or angle modes. Acro is great for having fun. Once you go 5" though...only use acro mode.

[@cameronford6645]

Great How To. One question? How did you get the goggle video?

[@RCGirl]

Put my phone in front of the goggles and flew line of sight! 😄 Or you can get and external DVR and it will record video for you

[@cameronford6645]

@@RCGirl LOL, A phone! Why didn't I think of that! LOL

[@GLHS592]

I wish this was available when I started flying FPV. I am still thinking about getting this kit since I really want the quad, but they don’t offer Spektrum protocol.

[@RCGirl]

I have another whoops style quad on the way that is similar to this one that does come in dsmx/dsm2 - the eachine trashcan (funny name, I know!). It's supposed to be just as good and is another pretty popular 75mm

[@GLHS592]

I have the URUAV UR65 and it is a blast. The Babyhawk is just interesting to me because of the weird design. I have thought about getting the Trashcan or the Mobula7. 2s power would be crazy on a tiny whoop style quad. I have a 3s FPV drone (Leader 3) and it is a different ballgame. The bigger they are, the smoother they fly. Any way you go, FPV is awesome.

[@Toddderose]

YEs!! RC Girl you rock! I have been waiting for you to start flying FPV. Lets race sometime!!!

[@RCGirl]

I'm currently a backyard flyer haha not sure i'll be winning races anytime soon. ;)

[@jskaggs8188]

Will the googles accommodate glasses? Don’t mean to be a pest as I also asked this question on your part one video. Thanks

[@sixtofive]

Most likely not, or not very well unfortunately. Right now the best option for those of us that need glasses is a goggle called the FXT Viper.

[@whiteyguitar666]

I see your hair moving a bit so that made me wonder how much wind will these little quads handle ?

[@mikebultema2536]

At what level drone does the FAA require you to be certified. I farm north of Sacramento and can see numerous uses for a video drone. As always I enjoyed your video. 😁👍

[@sixtofive]

As a non professional, or hobby flyer anything over 250 grams or .55 pounds is supposed to be registered through the faa website to be flown. This one is well below that limit and wouldn't need to be registered. There are a lot of great video resources on KZbin with more info about what airspace can be flown in and how high you can fly, as well as what you need to learn if you want to go further and get certified to fly professionally.

[@RCGirl]

@@sixtofive thanks for that response. I'm still new and learning a bunch about the regulations! AMA website is also a good resource for flight regulations

Welcome to the wonder of FPV [ you're hocked now ] Great video and great info for new people getting into this hobby, Hope you don't mind but just to let you know, it dose not matter if you power up the goggles with no antennas [ but you need them to fly lol ] However never power up any Quad / Drone without the antenna connected to the VTX.

[@prestonshute7243]

Really like your videos. With the Tiny Hawk, did you connect to Betaflight and make any changes or are you flying it stock. You seem to be doing very well with your drone. Just got mine yesterday and looking forward to flying it. Cheers

[@franciscofigueiredo4793]

HI! Great video!!!! Now i have a question for everybody: How can i record the flights??? Thank you

[@RCGirl]

If you want to record using the kit goggles, you'll have to get an external DVR (digital video recorder). Otherwise, some of the nicer goggles have a DVR included. A lot of people put gopros on their bigger quads to get higher quality footage, and just use the FPV signal for flying. This one is too small for that though 😂

[@SmokinJames]

@@RCGirl Do the external dvr's plug into the charging port on these goggles? Great video by the way!

[@GUCciSkies]

Awesome vid! Was wondering if you could fly 2 different tinyhawks at the same time?

[@RCGirl]

@@GUCciSkies Ohhhhh, so two different tinyhawks bound to two different transmitters. Yes that should work! And for the FPV video - you will need to set your VTX on the headset to different channels so you don't overlap video feed.

[@RCOverKill]

Hi RC Girl, I just found you looking through Tinyhawk videos. This little quad rtf kit is absolutely the best way to start fpv/acro/freestyle/racing flying, its incredibly tough, The frame is the only thing that finally breaks, but I've found a way to repair it. I don't see any videos of you flying a 5 inch freestyle quad/drone, and was wondering if you can do freestyle, if not are you interested? If you haven't seen Mr Steeles dive, dive, dive #2 its great, and makes me want to get out and rip some oaks. Thanks for your reviews!!!

[@RCGirl]

Haven't done any freestyle stuff yet or larger quads. Still fly the tinyhawk a ton though. I have another tiny whoop coming - the Trashcan. Hope that one is fun too!

[@RCOverKill]

@@RCGirl I don't have a trashcan but I hear there really fast. The tinyhawk is so much fun. I fly it every chance I get. If you get a clover , and a menace bandicoot patch antenna. You'll get a little better fpv.
