Review on ✈️ EMAX Tinyhawk 2 Freestyle: Beginner-Friendly FPV Drone Kit, 2.5 inch, RTF, 200mw, 2s, Carbon Fiber Frame, 7000KV by Lynn Walker

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very disappointed! Intermediate to pro quad - not for beginners

After much research and hundreds of great video reviews of this product I have decided to pull the trigger. And I feel cheated! The overall impression of the drone is good, it feels solid, the FPV mechanism works well. The drone flies great and is easy to fly if you are familiar with drone pilots, it really has an octane rating! I flew mine for about 3-4 minutes and noticed some stability issues. I thought the battery was low, but as soon as I picked up the drone I immediately felt the entire bezel move and shift. I thought I might have broken something (although I haven't had any serious accidents) but it turns out the bolts fell out of the frame! The kit came with extra screws so I set about tightening them up and on closer inspection I noticed almost all of the other screws were loose and some were half out. I tried tightening the loose screws, a few worked loose but most of the others, including the ones that fell out, had snapped off! Metal screws in plastic racks. Stupid! I didn't have to rebuild the RTF kit out of the box. I hope to get a replacement and if it sucks I'll get my money back. Edit: It's not possible to fly outdoors when the wind is over 3mph. Edit 2: This is NOT a "beginner" quad. I've spent about 100 hours in two different simulators with a drone as close as possible to THII FS and I'm still unable to fly this drone in either sight or FPV.
