      Hello again, Nick. I finally recieved my TH Freestyle 2 today. I've tried holding down the vtx button whilst powering on for 30 seconds to "unlock" the higher power output and channels. It doesnt seem to be working. Can you offer me any advice? I'm sorry to contact you here. I just didnt know how else to reach you and I dont know anyone else to ask. Thanks in advance and for all you do for this hobby.

    • @NickBurnsFPV
      @NickBurnsFPV  4 года назад

      @@tshirtfactory07 Are you sure its not unlocked? It can be confusing. The OSD won't show the higher mw until we arm the quad. They have setup betaflight to behave this way. Be sure to change the mw in the betaflight osd menu and then save out. Then watch the osd when you arm. We don't have to hold to for so long, all three leds should flash when it unlocks.

    I recommend taping your batteries together as it helps keep them secure on the quad when you crash. Might want a thin layer of 1/16 inch foam on the front top corner of the battery if you fly over hard surfaces to keep the battery from being damaged in a crash as well.

    These quads are much more capable than they come from Emax. XT30, 48khz and Betaflight 4.2 made my Race 2 fly longer and reduced propwash significantly. Using a PH2 to XT30 adapter with two 1s 450MAH batteries, I get similar flight times to you being hard on the throttle landing at 7 volts and each cell recovering to 3.8. I was hoping for a better stock experience.

    I got mine two days ago but, I've only managed two partial flights on it so far, due to bad weather. It flies great on their tune but, I find the voltage sag to be bad at high throttle (more than expected, especially for only 7000Kv motors) so, I'm gonna put an XT30 on it. I don't really like that 2x 1S batteries setup. Also, I'm getting the same white flashes in the DVR (ONLY in the DVR) that I got with my original Tinyhawk. I think I may have found a channel (B 1) where it doesn't seem to be as bad but, I haven't been able to test it in a real flight yet. Oh, and my motor wires are very long too, they can easily catch on the front props. Nice to have a decent camera on it but, I may still swap the Nano2 out for the Toothless2 Nano.

    Just Moblite7 and Mobula7 are not enough, cos I have 6x 450mAH, 5x 550mAh and 9x 650mAh.
    So definitely I'm searching for something where I could use 2 batteries at the same time.
    I would go with Tinyhawk II Freestyle immediately, if 5 Amps are enough for 2S?
    Otherway I have to go with Tinyhawk III Plus Freestyle, where I need to buy also ELRS module. Cos I'm not on ELRS yet. XM+ works for me great. Both mentioned whops have good about 200m range anyway.

I'm at high rate profile (number 2) not the beginner one it comes with. Do you think my quad has any issues or did you spesifically set yours in a way that you hover at less throttle?

    • @NickBurnsFPV

      I don't fundamentally change anything in the betaflight settings for reviews. I use my rates I have been using for years, and put the osd elements on screen what and where I have been using them for years. If it was always this way there is either an issue with the quad or the batteries. If it wasn't always this way its likely the batteries. flying battery low to say less than 3.2v/cell isn't good for the long term health and performance.

    If I removed the battery strap and ran it around the entire body of the quad, do you think I could jam the Runcam Split 3 Nano in it (maybe by heat shrinking the DVR and gluing it to the top plate)? Insta360 Go is awesome, but my beginner skills mean that I'll break that camera in an instant.

      possible, but the split 3 nano board is 30.5x30.5mm so the alignment might mean the strap would then be pinching the board. A Whoop board and the emax board won't line up very well, likely need a 3d print adapter to mount the split board.

    • @NickBurnsFPV
      @NickBurnsFPV  4 года назад +1

      having mixed batteries on that charger is fine, the charger should shut the channel down when charging has finished. Normally the light is on during charging and off or a slow dim flicker when not charging. Switching from the ph2.0 connect to xt30 is pretty straight forward. Snip the wires, strip back the insulation a few mm, apply solder to the exposed ends, tin/prep the xt30 with a bit of solder, plug the male side of the xt30 into the the female side being attached to the quad, this helps keep the xt30 shape during the soldering. The xt30 will have a + and - on them match black wire to - and red wire to +.

      @@shanejohnstone4245 Building opens a host of possibilities and choices.I would look at the fpvcycle.com toothpick equipment, or gnarlyfpv.com and the primo, many variations on today's micro builds, although most of them are bottom mount batteries. I have built "toothpicks" on the N47 frame from fullspeedrc.com and the damfastfpv.com frame, and a number of others. 3inch is likely the highest performing and efficient, but some of the options mentioned are 2.5inch as well. On 3 in prop, I would use 120x ~5000kv motors on 2.5inch we can run 1103 all the way up to 120x. The taller the motor (ending number) the better it will handle certain props, maybe a bit heavier or more pitch props, the shorter the motor we likely need lower pitch and bi-blades. There is a lot of personal desires to the choices. I have flown so many and been told to run different props, I run the props I run on the quad to get the flight feel or flight time I think most are looking for.

      There are two sides, I kinda like it, as long as they get it to everyone well in advance. Having a release date, stops the first to publish YT rush, which should mean a higher quality video and much more information available all at once. I do appreciate you deciding to watch my video. Thank you
