Emax Tinyhawk II Freestyle RTF Kit: The Best Way to Start Flying

About the product

The Emax Tiny­hawk II Freestyle RTF Kit is a FPV ready kit from one of the best hob­by­ist devel­op­ers of FPV drone parts and mod­els. The kit was based on the sec­ond ver­sion of the pop­u­lar Tiny­hawk Freestyle quadric, which was rec­og­nized by both begin­ners and advanced pilots, with the advent of which the devel­op­er cor­rect­ed the only two nuances: a video trans­mit­ter (instead of 25 mW, it became 200 mW) and an FPV cam­era (instead of “no name” 600TVL CMOS, time-test­ed Run­Cam Nano 2). Release date: May 2020 The devel­op­er imme­di­ate­ly added the mod­el to the RTF pack­age, which made it pos­si­ble to attract even more fans of free flight to the hob­by. As usu­al, let’s start with the key fea­tures of the pop­u­lar FPV kit.

Developer about the benefits of the kit

Ease of operation

By com­bin­ing sim­ple and at the same time tech­no­log­i­cal com­po­nents in tan­dem with an improved FPV drone mod­el, any­one can mas­ter pilot­ing in first per­son mode and progress in this direc­tion. All com­po­nents are already con­fig­ured and ready for FPV flight both indoors and out­doors.

Optimized Power

The time-test­ed, opti­mal­ly matched pow­er­plant, which tra­di­tion­al­ly con­sists of four EMAX 1103 7000KV brush­less motors, work­ing in tan­dem with AVAN Rush 2.5‑inch 3‑blade pro­pellers, as before, pro­vides the best dynam­ics and flight dura­tion in the niche.

Improved video stream quality

The devel­op­er did not dis­re­gard the dis­ad­van­tages affect­ing the over­all qual­i­ty of the FPV sys­tem of the pre­de­ces­sor and seri­ous­ly worked on improv­ing it. For exam­ple, in order to install a more pro­duc­tive FPV cam­era Run­Cam Nano 2, the frame design was changed. And in order to fly the drone as com­fort­ably as pos­si­ble in any con­di­tions, a video trans­mit­ter was installed eight times more pow­er­ful (adjustable up to 200 mW) than its pre­de­ces­sor (25 mW).

Sturdy frame

The drone has received a new stronger frame made of aero­space grade 3K car­bon fiber, which will allow this mod­el to endure even the most unfor­giv­able mis­takes. A design pat­tern was also applied to the frame to give the quad a dis­tinc­tive look.

Price and availability

The Emax Tiny­hawk II Freestyle RTF Kit is sold by the devel­op­er both through its own stores and through var­i­ous Inter­net trad­ing plat­forms at a price of $230.
