MD#75 🚁 EMAX Babyhawk-R 3-inch Racer 🏁👍

[@josephsias1319]

Thank you Mr. Kim. Thumbs up!!

[@dannyg2845]

Love to see a 3 inch using these motors. I built one last year using these motors and it's my favorite micro. 3s gives great efficiency! On tattu 650mah I get almost 7 mins. Great review!

[@Rich-TeaFPV]

A sunny day and a good quad to fly 😁 I can't wait for spring. Nice review Albert 👍

[@wyorocker82716]

I am brand new to trhe hobby. Great review :) I do fly RC airplanes and entry level CP helicopters but FPV is a new world to me. I bought this exact model and it looks plenty fast perhaps too fast for me as I turn 49 this month. Wish me luck we have just decided at our airfield to build a quad racer track and add it to our list of activities at our fun fly events. I am going to need a lot of practice. Great flying!

[@jg-bordfronco2925]

6:29 I was wondering what the hell that was.. Thanks Albert! another excellent video

[@BigDFPV]

I'll stick with the 2.5 Babyhawk-R and build the Diatone 2018 GT-M3. It is nice that they offer so many options for the Babyhawk-R.

[@RCFlyer85]

BigD-FPV Yep... 2.5 is the sweet spot for this quad... They should cut the 2 and 3 inch out and stick with 2.5 IMO

[@BigDFPV]

I agree

[@archer4922]

RCFlyer85 agree. I'm def going to be ordering the 2 and do the 2.5 conversion soon.

[@shortdoggkk]

What props are you using on the Babyhawk R with 2.5 mod? I'm guessing Gemfan 2540

[@BigDFPV]

Yes the Gemfan 2540

[@ktmjay9920]

Thanks, I have 2.5 with 2540 and it's nice .

[@ktrimberger]

Jason Boyce you fly 2.5 inch props on this exact frame/model?

[@pointeddown]

Funny Im in OC and I feel like I know that one park you fly at with the Bball court. Great review, I want one now, everytime I watch one of your vids I lose a bit of money.

[@linklemming1040]

I know its been awhile but wanted to mention that I cured a desync I was having by setting blheli timing to med-high. Before that I had digital idle up to 6 and would still get desyncs every so often. After changing timing, havnt had a desync yet and im running digital idle at 5.5

[@HarborGraphX]

the 3 inch has solid arms now You can NOT take one arm off at a time anymore When you unbolt those 3 bolts both arms come off as they are a solid opiece now

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yes, I noticed that after I had already uploaded the video. I wasn't aware they changed the design that way.

[@FrequentFlyerRC]

Nice flying! Are the arms individual arms or 2 a piece? I only ask because I got a Babyhawk R from Gearbest and the arms are NOT Individual!

[@AlbertKimTV]

You're right! The front and back arms are together. I hadn't noticed that. I wonder why they switched it up???

[@saviyou]

I'm looking for a small quad that can carry a GoPro session to make videos with a more cinematic look vs fast and agile. My research lead me to the Babyhawk. Would you suggest the 2" or 3"?

[@birdman316]

kool rippin bro! im looking to get a more manuverable model when i get better at fpv and im really gawking at this one lol!

[@RCFlyer85]

Desync! So either you need to bump up your digital ( I missed it, he did do that) or better yet...... They should have just went 1407 lol. I really don't understand the push to run 11 xx motors with 3 inch props. Nice as always Albert... This just seems basic compared to most other 3inch out there.

[@nicodindon7477]

RCFlyer85 Hi, because even 13xx quads on 3” have totally different fly characteristics. They feel heavy and are very noisy. Only 11xx allow to feel floaty like this.

[@AlbertKimTV]

I did bump up the digital idle and showed it in the video (right before the 4S flight)

[@RCFlyer85]

Albert Kim oh ok... Had to go back and watch it I guess I missed that part the first time lol

[@RCFlyer85]

Nico Dindon I get the same floaty feeling on my XJB 145 (1407 motors) when running 3S 550 lipo... It's actually too floaty imo so I usually stick to the heavier 4S batteries

[@FrequentFlyerRC]

RCFlyer85 IMHO they probably should have kept the 6000kv motors and just warned against 4S usage. 6000kv, 3S and 3" props are a good combination as I have flown 3" on my Babyhawk R with great results. Also, you are right about the XJB as mine feels floaty too but I admit that I do feel more confident when flying a smaller, lighter quad aggressive in my flying space! 😆👌

[@Blowfeld20k]

As the actress said to the bishop "3inch is enough to get the job done"!! :P

[@isaaclyonsf1]

They look awesome!

[@dronereviewman9580]

Wow i really like this baby hawk!! I am having a baby in 4 months well my wife is lol do you think a baby would like this quad!! Hehehe it has baby in the name!? Maybe i can talk my wife into buying one tell her look its a baby hawk it has baby in the name!! So i have to get one for the baby to watch fly around!!! You do a great job on this channel thanks for all the good reviews!! 👍👍

[@keepinitbasic04]

Nice video! Only thing you might want to warn people is that these catch fire pretty easily lol at least from my experience. At least the 3 in one has been pretty bad.

[@AlbertKimTV]

I would warn people if I see a lot of that happening. You're the first person (out of thousands of people) that I've heard had a fire. If you can prove this is happening to a large number of people, let me know.

[@Bamadrone]

Waiting on the mail lady now!

[@WompySlipz]

Been waiting for the 3", but dayum those skinny arms sure looks odd.. hope they can we design a wider arms..

[@rumtata]

So is it the bnf version with the emax receiver or pnp with xm+? Just wondering cause your rssi is goin crazy at some points.....would be unusual for an xm+ at this distance. Just ordered a bnf one but ordered an xm+ too to be on the safe side. 10 bucks for xm+ on bg promo sale atm btw

[@AlbertKimTV]

Its the BNF with EMAX FrSky receiver. I've not had a failsafe with it, but the XM+ is probably better.

[@rumtata]

Yeah think so too. More versatile atleast regarding the specific flightlocation/style

[@silicosick]

What would you say the go to camera upgrade would be for someone who rocks 4:3 ... cam replacement for babyhawk r? Is it even worth upgrading from stock?

[@ktrimberger]

Haha! Bored at 5 minutes... that's great flight time.

[@adamk.3946]

Even though the 3" avan props are pretty efficient, do you think they are a bit too heavy for an 1106 sized motor? I understand only 1 desync happened but on my good quads I've never had a desync.. usually it's a potential sign of something potentially wrong? Wish they would have used a higher rated 4 in 1 so we could slap some higher kv motors on it without worries :) how we're the motor temps on 4s? Worth using over 3s?

[@takiparilimpossivel]

Hey Al, can you please test the racerstar 1407 motors? I'm building a 3in and got a set of these but idk as much as you do about the components. Thanks!

[@AlbertKimTV]

I don't think I've got any 1407 racerstar motors. Is this a new item?

[@fallingwithstylefpv4759]

Can you upload the factory pids. I know we don’t use others PiDS but it’s the exact model. I have updated mine.

[@AlbertKimTV]

They come stock on the model, why would you need them?

[@fallingwithstylefpv4759]

Albert Kim I have upgraded my 2” to 3” (thought I’d try the two profiles 3S and 4s these are stock BF PIDS) and updated to 3.2.4 (no different profiles)

[@SmoothCruizer37]

FallingWithStyle FPV I like that you think everyone sets their pids to you your style of flying.... SMH.... NOT!

[@almondjoy590]

Tattu 850mah ;). About 7min. 3s I run 630. Prevent waterfall. Tattu 650mah i run 5min . Land 430. It can be probly longer if i dont go rough.

[@archer4922]

almondjoy883 that's what's I'm running on my 3 inch sparrow build with emax 1306 3300kv's and hglrc f428 stack. Love the batts. I got 5 min 50 sec on the 850 4s before it fell out. And on the 3s 850 I get almost 7 mins of cruising.

[@almondjoy590]

Lol u got 3inch woot woot. Its smoooth like butter

[@fpv10]

Baby hawk 3inch 2.5inch 2inch...or gt m2.... Which one is best? I don't need amazing power like gt m3 😄

[@AlbertKimTV]

I'd get the 3 inch if you want a good flyer but don't need the extra power.

[@coryvenezia710]

so it has more power with a smaller kv on the 3 inch than the 6000 kv on the 2 inch. what about 3 inch arms with the bigger motors?

[@AlbertKimTV]

You're limited by the 13 amp ESCs. You can go higher KV on 3-inch but will blow up the ESCs.

[@shortdoggkk]

Albert, how do you get in the PID setting on the fly like you did without connecting to your computer?

[@AlbertKimTV]

It's the Betaflight OSD. Read more about it here - oscarliang.com/betaflight-osd/

[@shortdoggkk]

Thanks, I got the information I need from that link.

[@neverwasacloudyday]

3in 1106 4500kv 3s, very very efficient.

[@SmoothCruizer37]

SPST V VdxFPV lol

[@silicosick]

So is 6000kv on a 2.5” setup the sweet spot then?

[@RCFlyer85]

Yep

[@ktrimberger]

I'm not able to watch the video yet. Can I put 2.5 inch props on this and get good flight times? I'm not really interested in 3 inch props. Thanks

[@AlbertKimTV]

It might be a little more than on 3 inch but probably not a whole lot more.

[@ktrimberger]

oh ok. thank you for that. then it sounds like 2.5s would be a Bingo for this. I still like the idea of the 2 inch class primarily because they are more suited for park flying, cruising down the street, etc. Don't want anything that scares people. Needs to have a cute factor like a Whoop where i live and fly. thank you, Albert.

[@sirroger1]

Hey man how did you get smart audio working on your babyhawk? cheers

[@paulterl4563]

Why it seems me that you have much lesser vtx noise than the most of the reviews that I've seen?

[@paulterl4563]

..mine was a question

[@jeremychotto2688]

I just seen the same thing your in your flight footage.ok when my fpv cam hits r faces the sun I get a line from the sun back to my goggles. Is this something with the foxeer when it faces the sun directly u get a I guess u say a white line back to your goggles? I just seen it do it when you flew faceing the sun. It is like a soild white line running vertical only when a face the sun really weird never happen to me before the babyhawk r 3.my friend sorry for this I know u are really busy but if u kinda know what I am talking about is there away to fix it . Kinda annoying when u get a clear great picture and you fly the way the sun is the line appears into u fly away from it.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Try adjusting the contrast setting.

[@jeramiebentley4054]

i have a 2" and a 2.5" recording with the aomway commanders. I don't have sound? does this 3" have a different camera or is it some setting in beta flight?

[@AlbertKimTV]

No sound on this one either. No mic on any of them.

[@jeramiebentley4054]

ok i guess its coming from the camera you are filming with.

[@MaximilianGros]

How is the 3-inch version compared to the 2-inch version with 2.5-inch replacement arms?

[@AlbertKimTV]

Here's the simple answer. If you want speed, go with the 2.5 inch on 3S. If you want flight time, go with the 3 inch on 3S The 3 inch on 4S is faster than 3S, but not as fast as the 2.5 inch. If you're asking about things other than flight time and power, you'll have to be specific. I'm making a guess here as most people are interested in speed and power.

[@MaximilianGros]

Thank you for your reply :)

[@MarcAplin]

Hey Albert, how does the handling compare? Are they similar?

[@snoopyfpv8549]

Hi Albert, can you please please share the PID setting for the 4S? thank you sir....

[@AlbertKimTV]

I just used the stock settings. Are you saying you don't have this model but need the PIDs anyway?

[@snoopyfpv8549]

Albert Kim yes please can you send the default pids four 4S profile?

[@snoopyfpv8549]

Yes I just got the babyhawk r 3

[@snoopyfpv8549]

yes please can you send the default pids four 4S profile?

[@AlbertKimTV]

Wait, they didn't include the 4S profile on yours? I thought that they included a 3S and 4S profile on all the BH-R 3's??? Please let me know, this is important for me to know this.

[@kiefmaker]

i wanna see those 3 inch arms with the 6000kv motors

[@AlbertKimTV]

On the 13 amp ESCs, they'll probably catch fire 😜🔥

[@DonnieDagley]

I just built one. Micro Lux2 v2, Lumenier 4-1 12a esc's, the 6000kv motors on a Xhover Win2XL. Not sure why... I'm guessing it was just too much, and it flew great until it flipped out, crashed, broke an arm and now all 4 motors twitch. I have not investigated further, but on hindsight, 3s flew great. Not that anyone asked for a review on it, but the Win2XL is 3" capable, but not really. 2.5" would have fit better and maybe those 6000kv motors would have handles all of those volts. The 3" blades cross over the camera mounts.

[@joshuachambliss7718]

You can tell it's not as responsive on throttle, almost underpowered?

[@Fpv_Dad]

can you run this on 2s 850 mah? i have a bunch of them around

[@nicodindon7477]

Hey 👋 is it me or the sound quality (of the voice) is terrible ?! But, anyway great video 😋

[@BigDFPV]

It's you, sounds great on my end.

[@ktmjay9920]

How does it compare to 2.5 arms

[@AlbertKimTV]

On the 2.5 inch arms, it was setup with the 6000kv motors on the Gemfan 2540 prop. On the 4500kv motor and 3-inch prop it doesn't feel like it has the same top end power on 3S. On 4S, it feels somewhat similar, but also different. It's difficult to describe.

[@engizmo]

Are desyncs happening often?

[@AlbertKimTV]

Just that one time

[@WreckitFpv]

Why 1106? Are they punchy at all ?

[@AlbertKimTV]

You can compare yourself. Watch the Diatone GT=M3 video and see how that flies on the 1408 motor compared to the Babyhawk-R on the 1106 motor. If you're looking for power and speed, the GT-M3 is the better choice kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZmmmYd9eN2lpKM

[@WreckitFpv]

Albert Kim yea this looks zippy but more cruiser-ish . Not a bad thing . Thanks

[@agrs1974]

I would be worried with that desync.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Just happened once

[@agrs1974]

Albert Kim what's the flight time Albert?

[@phoeij]

I have this all the time on my first edition BabyHawk. Is there anything I can do about it?

[@fpv10]

4s 3s same pid possible?

[@AlbertKimTV]

No, they have a different profile for each.

[@fpv10]

Albert Kim where can I know that? Stock pid is for 4s...? Anyway good night
