How To Set Up Tinyhawk Drones With FrSky Tx and Betaflight 

This was a great video. It helped me get my new bundle set up. There were no other videos or instructions that I found that helped me honestly, great video and great work.

This is going to be very helpful in a few days. Thanks Kelly!

This is exactly what I needed, You helped me out so much. I couldn't get this information anywhere else. GetFPV couldn't help me. BTW, if your FrSky doesn't have D8 you can open the software in click the eu box under settings somewhere. That's it. The other RU-vid videos made it way more confusing.

Simple straightforward video, thanks

Thank you so much for a VERY helpful video! Much appreciated! :)

What you showed as the bind button on the freestyle is the boot button for flashing the board. The bind button is also on the bottom of the board on the freestyle 2.

thanks for the video. It was a big help

Thanks Kelly...im not even an fpv noob yet but saved this for when i take the leap....

I forgot what a total PITA this all was... and this is a very simplified setup. My first time around I mixed 8 switches and two slider switches into the last 4 channels and the AETR gimbals into the first 4 channels. Plus Betaflight was a complete blank, I had to configure everything, nothing was factory configured except the UART ports on my Flywoo. Took me like 3-6 months,a nd I'm probably still not optimized and finish tested. It flew, sure.

I just Got a new freestyle and added this frsky Q9. So this was super helpful. Thank you very much

Thanks for putting this video together. I’m a drone guy who’s used to a preset controller that comes with my drone. I’m now getting ready to test the waters of RC planes/wings, also just bought a TinyHawk II. As I said, I’m NOT used to having to tell my controller ( a Radiomaster TX16S ) what to do. This is all rather intimidating to me. Pardon me but it kinda takes all the shine off the hobby for me. It just seems like a little too much work to get these things in the air, especially since I’m used to my preset controllers. I’m not ready to throw in the towel yet, but I’ll have to see how much patience I have with all this. Again, thanks for the info.

That was so helpfull ! You got yourself one more subs my man !

Great thorough tutorial! I'ma noob and going from my DX6i to the X Lite is like going from a Cessna to a Boeing. Lol. Just trying to assign switches had me stumped. Thanks a ton!!

The X-Lite Pro I bought on Amazon was an EU model. I ordered a FCC version and everything works now.

hello I am looking to by the Tinyhawk Freestyle and that remote I was wondering if you could bake a list of the products that where used in the video so that I could purchase them

got this & love it

I can’t thank you enough for the video man. Thank you!

I bought a Tinyhawk 2 freestyle as my first FPV drone and did not get a transmitter I tried to get a emax one but you can't buy it alone this video helped me find what controller to buy so I thank you!

Wow, that's quite a lot to mess with, but pretty well explained. If I want nothing more than to fly around my 1/2 acre yard, do I want the original, the S or the Freestyle? I also fly like an old lady and would only use stable mode. What I do want is flight time. The stock battery connectors that I see aren't very appealing. How about an XT 30 and a 2S battery instead of 2 each 1S batteries? What about just getting he simple stock transmitter instead of the one you programmed? If I did that, would I have to go through all that you did? I guess I can go through all of the BetaFlight stuff, by why do it if I don't have to? Thanks.

Thank you so much for that video really really helped me

thanks for the video. I have the Emax RTF transmitter/box goggles. Like to upgrade to the Frsky x-lite as you have. Did you ever compare the Emax RTF transmitter/goggles with the upgraded Frsky? What was the most noteworthy difference? Also, I see you've upgraded the antenna module. What is that system and what difference did you notice?

What is the difference between the BOOT button you say is the bind button on the top, and the BIND button on the bottom of the quad? Just learning how to do this and stumbled on your video. Thanks for showing so many things.

I had an issue binding to my QX7S. Using BF 4.1, in the CLI, type "bind_rx" ("bind_rx_spi" for BF 4.0) The drones LED's did nothing, but, in the CLI type "set frsky_x_rx_num" If the CLI answers with the same # as your tx is set to, you're good to go - don't forget to save Worked for me - good luck 😁

The bind command in the CLi is: bind_rx spi So without the last _

Thanks for the video. Liked, new subscriber, good luck growing your channel.

I can't figure out how to find the failsafe mode so I can change it. It sounds like it's supposed to be in the menu where you choose to put the radio in find mode but I do not have that sitting there like some of the other people do,. Idea what's up with that question question this is an awesome video, I followed your instructions and got everything set up really good except for I'm not sure about this failsafe, how to make sure it set to no pulse but I can't find it.

Hey i have the same drone (freestyle) and in broke off the port that the camera plugs into, i was wondering if i can use the the other 4 ports on the drone for a camera?

Good video bro keep up the good work

Love your video. Is beta flight required to use the tinyhawk 2? I got mint to bind but that's all it will do, nothing else happens. Same tx as you, followed all steps, solid blue till I throttle up, then flashing red. Thanks guys really wanna try this out

I did this step by step but ran into an issue with my tx16s not giving me 3 modes it only gave me 2. I reached out and got some tech support and they suggested only using the mixes side of this which i did and now it works. would you say that's a faster and better method when using bigger controllers like the radiomaster tx16s? Or do you know what i might have did wrong?

Wow, I just noticed the pitch on those props. They are truly designed to zip.

I'm wanting to get a small quad to fly. I bought the Frsky x9 lite because I was told it's a good beginner radio, but it doesn't have d8 mode. Just d16 and something called Access. It looks like a lot of these small quads are d8. Do you know what small quad I can get that will work with the x9 lite radio? I'm starting to think I bought the wrong radio.

Thanks!

What antennae is that on your xlite? Can you recommend one for beginner?

how are you binding on the internal rf mode I thought you needed exterior rf module

Very good video you never know when your gonna run into trouble 😂✈️✈️

How about tiny hawk hooking up to emu flight ???? Some info or experiences! Some RU-vid movies some where to find about this topic?

my emax tinyhawk ii is bound to the RC. I see this in betaflight. However, my emax rc that came with my original thii now has sticks in some weird mode. Originally, it was mode 2. Now, Pitch is roll, roll is throttle, and throttle is pitch. The only 'normal' stick is yaw. Any ideas? This replacement THii is a BNF. The original THii was RTF. That shouldn't matter, but may.

Thank 👍😁👍

Hi, I did what you said in my emax tinyhak freestyle 2 and it never indicated if it's binded or not with the control

Hey I was wondering when I got to pair my freestyle 2 with my taranis x-lite s it says i only have the options for access, accst d16, and no d8 or d16 do you know what to do?

is it micro usb?

what firmware do u have on the xlite ?

This is ridiculous! I appreciate your video. I have 700 bucks worth of brand new gear sitting here and I don't think my tinyhawk s will ever get off the ground. Is it possible to bind the new xd9 plus to it?

The bind button on the freestyle is on the bottom also. The one on top is the boot button. There is a bind button on the bottom and it says bind by it. The one you pushed on top say beside it boot.

thank. you.

do i need the modual thats on the back of the transmitter for tiny hawk to work cheers d8 will tx work without that thing on back

Total rookie here but I was able to get the same Taranis X-Lite controller working with my Tinyhawk S but I can't figure out how to get my Fatshark Attitude V5 goggles working with the quad...is there are setting in betaflight that I am not seeing? I have powered on the goggles and searched every channel repeatedly and nothing. Do I need something additional for the goggles or is this a setting issue?

Are the tinyhawks compatible with my spectrum DX6e?

Hello, could you help me with something please. So, recently I have accidentally burned 2 different FC boards on my Tiny Hawk Freestyle 2! I solder all my motors, and then check all joints and they are very clean. I plug in my two 1s batteries to the pig tail, and the drone chimes up as normal and all is well. I then go to EMAX and get the proper THF2 CLI command for my new flight controller, and go into Beta Flight uploading it to the drone, again all is successful. I bind to the original EMAX E-6 radio, and it is bound. Now, when I give the drone about 1/4 throttle.......it throttles up very high, loses control and flips off the table. I try it a few more times and same conclusion, but now......the smoke is let out of my FC:( DO YOU KNOW IF I need to set the new FC to 2s lipo batteries before trying to fly it? It seems like that is what is going on, because if I was using two 1s(2s total) and the drone is set for 1s, wouldn't that possibly cause this issue? Any advice you have would be very helpful, thanks:):):)

Do you know where else I could get batteries for the controller the link you put says currently unavailable

Got one issue tho with what u used to bind (screwdriver)allways use a toothpick or something wooden or plastic that way if it slips after you power up youll short out something on the board,had it happen one time.

I'm trying to get mine bound .I first tried the rtf radio of the first tiny hawk.it bound but won't arm via switch that should be the same as the tiny hawk 2..but something is all turned around in my OSU through my goggles...I'm gonna have to hook it up to my computer and see what's wrong.. never done it before , because the first one had beta flite already downloaded in it.this one won't arm

Do u have to buy that antenna on the bottom of the controller

How do you get to d8 mode on frsky x-lite

I have a commando 8 and when I go to enteral RF all i can select is multi for the mode and nothing else how do i get it to d8 mode?

So you can't control a Tinyhawk 2 Race with the remote of the EZ pilot??

Hi, I just brought a Tinyhawk2 and my son in Bataflight after doing a Backup, perform a reset, and even after a restore the drone is like dead no more everything, do you have any idea what can I do to put it back to work? I will really appreciate it. Thanks

Hi...I have a problem....everything working good in betaflight roll pitch yaw throttle Also when I connect the battery to tinyhawk2 ... roll pitch yaw working good....only throttle not working can not start to fly ... what to do ?? My remote radiomasterTX12

I have a problem with my tinyhawk2, I binded it with the radio, and on betaflight I can see the switches and input actions as gas, yaw pitch and roll working, I also added the arm control, and other 2 as I see in videos, but then, if I power it up with the radio binded it doesn't fly, althought the leds blink wile giving inputs from the radio (that shows that the binding is correct) the props don't spin, it is not working.... can you help??

Question on BetaFlight. I am a NOOB... first time with a FPV. Which version of the Betaflight do i download for the TinyHawk 2 Freestyle for modifying? There are about 20 of them on GITHUB. github.com/betaflight/betaflight/releases Thanks for any help on this.. Cheers

How did you get your fat sharks connected to the tiny hawk vtx?

My new tinyhawk will not bind to taranis QX7 when following all instructions.

How did he bind the quad with the boot button? The bind is on the bottom of the board.

I need help with min I can’t figure out how to get the drone armed. I’ can’t get the toogle switches to work to arm it

when i try binding my tinyhawk 2 to my frsky x-lite it will not bind and when i out in the command it will still not work.

Mine tinyhawk s wont fly i have it binded and set up but when i arm it and set it in any mode the motors spin but when i give trothle ot wont take off it just move on my desk

Hi, When I hit enter after bind_rx_spi I got this : ###ERROR: UNKNOWN COMMAND, TRY 'HELP'### any idea?

What's the point of heaving Taranis Q X7 as a beginner like everyone recommended me with new ACCESS protocol if you can't bind to any of the nice beginner drones or tinywhoops because it doesn't support D8 protocol.. Like, I'm a beginner, and I don't understand.. Its great, its new, it works good, it has nice range, and yeah, you can't really use it to fly a drone lol

I bought an X-Lite pro and never was able to get it to work with the tinyhawk 2 indoor. What model number X-Lite did you use? Do you have any accessories to make it work?

any vape shop will carry 18650 flat top batteries. they also usually have the chargers.

FYI, No underscore before spi, just a space...

Thatd the boot button / Bind is on bottom. Flip quad over

im so pissed with this hobby tinyhawk freestyle will not arm I tried everything doing my head in just keep getting red flashing light on cp

I’m clicking “connect” on bf but nothing is happenning

For Europe this will never work as there is no D8....and with EU D16 I spent few days and did not get it to work. Can throw my FrSKY S10S to trash and buy something that works....great video, just in EU seems no way to bind to my micro and nano drone fleet with FrSKY radios

First! Lol great videos!

My xlite s. Don't have d8

I did all this and my drone didn’t budge 😂 I gave up

i do not see how this helps when he is pushing the boot button really!!!!!!!

HEY don't listen to this man he is telling you wrong. that's obviously the boot button hes pressing! the bind button is underneath I just helped a guy on the phone who was using this video as a reference. the bind button is beneath take down your video giving out miss information

your video is confusing as hell!

Do you know where else I could get batteries for the controller the link you put says currently unavailable
