Do your satellites even lift bro... Weak :D. Sorry I have nothing useful to add.

Yah I know betaflight already has servo control (sends pwm signal on some pin) but haven't really dug through the source enough to say how hard it would be to tap into the accelerometer data or other flight info to adjust the output for a camera servo it sounds doable for sure but would take...

Amazon has some kits of assorted small size metric screws too can find some that include m2 and m2.5 and other strange sizes for cams and the like. There's a little tool driver kit from a company called nanch that is great too for all the tiny metric hex screws and other small things that need...

Ads are generally over inflated, that said tiny hawk 2 race can go fast but once you learn to fly acro mode (or even flying it angle mode) it can be pretty tame (still more for outdoors on calm days than an indoor one like a tiny whoop but fair trade off in power/fun to size). A big part of how...

Also also, just general advice to someone new, I recommend getting a good transmitter you can use it across many models and for a long time, instead of getting something huge that will break itself or other things (bigger they are harder they fall) would suggest start off with a 5" size or even...

Hi, welcome to the forum. My answer to worth the money? would be sort of. It's a in the ballpark of what you will spend for similar components even a bit on the cheap side but not necessarily bad components. I personally am way more used to betaflight, and the flight controllers that support...

Nice to virtually meet ya. I'm one of the nerdier ones here I think, have a computer science BS from DePaul in Chicago and primarily do web dev focused stuff during the day but like to tinker with hardware in most of my free time. I am very into fpv now I'd say, and started off with some very...

Hiya welcome to the forum/hobby. Looking over your parts list things seem pretty reasonable but if you can spare the licensing fee it's worth getting an account on ecalc.ch to plug in all your numbers and see what it says about flight time and load on the system (will show an in the red...

I've only begun to tinker with iNav myself but I think the best is to start off with angle mode and stick control initially until you've done extensive testing with the gps and compass system to make sure everything is operating as expected. To be honest I've only flown my gps connected...

Yah on 2S I like it a lot but takes some messing with the rates to get super rate set higher typically to make the mid stick less touchy and edges still good for fast rotation commands. I've had the same kind of experience flying tiny whoops in terms of wobble out after a roll or flip they are...

Yah reason I suspect vtx is cause the heat will bleed across the entire pcb and could cause issues over time as heat builds up, could be rx or something else too though hard to say till taking it apart.

Yah was thinking vtx antenna came desoldered or otherwise got cut somehow. If no vtx antenna it will heat up the vtx circuitry (it's amplifying a signal but no antenna as load so heat just builds up) would make sense it shuts off after about a minute then too. Could be something else but would...

Only other reason I could see this happening is if the esc had one of its three sets of MOSFETs used to control power to the motor isn't working as intended but fresh new motor helps to eliminate that possibility (or if have the time can try swapping over one of the other motors to make sure esc...

Yah jumps like that are cause one of the three isn't making a good connection so with 2/3 it's able to sort of get the rotor spinning but misses firing the third set every time and eventually causes it to get pulled backwards to a stop instead of being pulled towards the next set of...

Yah binding is always a lot of fiddle with protocol and or order of doing things or most recently have used CLI for tiny hawk binding process I think in general the RX is supposed to be powered first and the TX "finds" the RX and stores connection to it since the RX could have multiple TXs that...

Make sure you have bind plug plugged into the receiver as well and power it up first then like @Dugdog47 said on the transmitter/radio side of things. Should see light go from flashing to solid or otherwise change pattern once radio binds to the receiver you may have to hold the bind button...

Yah 1600kv should be using 6S batteries for 4S you'd want about 2300-2600kv range. It will still fly with 4S but will be very under powered and so your throttle stick will need to be pretty high just to get it to take off, something like 50% throttle or less should typically be enough and I...

You won't damage anything by getting the phase wires out of order. If the motor goes backwards you just want to swap 2 of the three, the motor should be spinning same direction as the one diaganol to it. In general these motors are only like $10-20 so usually I just end up replacing rather...

Hey yup the amp rating on ESCs is a maximum limit above that much current and they cook. So going with higher amp ones just makes more power available if the voltage is high enough given the roughly fixed resistance of the coils, it's a bit more complicated than that because of how ESCs and...

I've been lucky enough to not smoke a motor myself but saw it happen on my buddies emax buzz. He was stuck in the grass and gave it some throttle and ended up cooking the motor. Personally I've always had the esc go first, in the case of my buddies the damaged motor was replaced and the...
