Anybody Fly Whoops?

[G.O.D.]

Anybody Fly Whoops? Tiny, Cine, Racing. I am Interested in them and have Very Little Knowledge. I do fly Camera Drones, but Whoops are very Different.

You have a very interesting grammatical style.

I fly FPV drones of various sizes. My most flown quad is probably my Tinyhawk II since I can just throw on my goggles and fly it in the backyard whenever I want. I also have a Mobula7 that is out of commission at the moment since I crashed pretty good and broke the USB connector. Both of those are tiny whoops. I also have bigger 5” freestyle quads and a handful of palm size freestyle quads. Cinewhoops, race whoops, and freestyle are all completely different types of flying that use different quads and setups.

If you are looking into getting into FPV I recommend the Tinyhawk 2 or 3 whoop style (not the Tinyhawk 2 freestyle which is a bigger freestyle quad). You can get it as an all in one kit or piece something together yourself. Search on YouTube for the Tinyhawk 2 or 3.

I recommend buying from Race Day Quads as they have good prices, super fast shipping, and they are fighting the government overreach into yet another facet of our lives they have no business being in, much like firearms.

His advice is good. Buy a radio and just use a sim on the computer for a while until you get the hang of it. I use the sims a lot too and the one that has the most "realistic" feel is probably DRL.

I have a BETAFPV Meteor 65 in ELRS with a LiteRadio 2 SE Radio Transmitter with ELRS. That I cannot Bind. I also have a BETAFPV Meteor 75 in DSMX with a Spektrum DX6e Transmitter that I cannot Bind. I have Watched Hours upon Hours of YT Video's and Read Instruction Manuals. I am at a Loss as to what I am doing Wrong. My Transmitters with connect to My Computer and I have Loaded some Flight Sims from Steam. What a Blast Flying the Sims. I like the Tiny Hawk Kits; this is something I will look into. I will also check out DRL. Thank you.

Not sure about those radios. I use the Taranis stuff. The Q7 supports the D8 receivers in my small quads but my Q9 does not. I had to buy a JR module for it.

The BetaFPV stuff is really good! I hope you are able to get them bound. With mine, usually you have to hold the bind button down on the quad while simultaneously plugging in the battery. Then on the radio pick a new model slot, set the protocol, and click bind. Sometimes it takes a few tries.

Nowdays though you can do it right in Betaflight. Have you tried that yet? It worked perfect with my Baby Nazgul.

[G.O.D.]

With the ELRS Stuff I have tried Betaflight Configurator and BETAFPV Configurator to no Avail. Like you said maybe I need a better Transmitter. I have not tried Configurator with the DSMX stuff yet. It is Frustrating but at the Same Time it is Fun to be Learning.

I've been flying DJI photo drones for a few years. Bought the DJI FPV last year and the Avata whoop just recently. About 12 hours in the DJI sim learning manual mode. Starting to make sense and can hit gaps consistently without disaster. Helps that I was a helo pilot where the first 10 hours were a terror. Very fun!
