Choose Drones

Video shooting, indoor leisure, participation in drone racing ... I think there are various purposes for flying a Tiny Whoop, but you should not buy the high-priced machine you are looking for from the beginning. By the time you're free to fly your microdrone, you'll have to crash it over and over again. I recommend that you first purchase a cheap, sturdy, and beginner-friendly item for about USD100 and practice thoroughly. For beginners, Emax's Tinyhawk / Nanohawk series and BetaFPV's Meteor series are famous. Today, so many manufacturers are making and selling FPV drones / Tiny Whoops. Please refer to " Related links " for a list of some of them.

Checking installed communication protocol

The same model may be available in multiple versions with different protocols. At the time of purchase, make sure that version of the product has desired communication protocol. Also, depending on drone, receiver may not be installed (denoted as PNP). In this case, you need to purchase a receiver of your favorite protocol suitable for the drone separately and install it yourself.

Wheelbase

Represents the size of Tiny Whoop. It is expressed by the distance (mm) of central axes of two motors in diagonal positions. In Tiny Whoop, there are many aircraft of about 65mm to 95mm. 65mm has a small output and is suitable for indoor flight. If you want to fly outdoors, we recommend 75mm or more. I think it's a good idea to start with 65mm or 75mm model for Beginners.

Wheelbase and propeller diameter
Wheelbase	Prop. diameter	Use
65mm	31mm	indoor
75mm	40mm	both indoor and outdoor
85mm	50.3mm (About 2 inches)	outdoor
95mm	63.5mm (About 2.5 inches)	outdoor

There are even higher class aircraft with propeller diameters of 3 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches, or more, but it is difficult to keep the takeoff weight below 100g (for Japan), which allows for solo flight under Aviation law, and it is not suitable for beginners' practice.

Battery voltage / capacity

The output voltage of a LiPo (lithium polymer) battery is determined by the number of cells. Regardless of the size, it will be about 3.7V (4.2V when fully charged) for one cell, about 7.4V for two cells, and so on. At first, choose a 1-cell (1S) type low-power drone.
Battery life is also indicated by capacity (mAh). If you install a battery with a large value, you can fly for a long time, but it will also increase the weight, which is disadvantageous for flight.

Drone Battery Knowledge / How to long-lasting and reviving

Motor specifications

Specifications of motor used for drone are expressed by a combination of 4-digit number and "KV" value, for example, "1102-18000KV".
Four-digit number indicates the size of the part called "stator" of motor. First two digits represent the width (diameter) of the stator, and the second two digits represent the height of the stator in mm. For example, "1102" motor has a stator width of 11 mm and a height of 2 mm. A tall motor can output high power at high speeds, and a wide motor can output high torque at low speeds.
KV value can be roughly thought of as the number of revolutions corresponding to the input voltage. For example, if 1S battery (4.2V) is connected, "18000KV" motor will rotate at about 75,600RPM (= 18,000 x 4.2) without a load (propeller) (More complicated calculations are needed to know the exact value). Motor with higher KV values rotate faster, but consume more power. If KV value and source voltage are not well balanced, motor will overheat or ESC will burn out. So a motor with high KV value is combined with low voltage battery and small and light propeller.
In addition, there are some types of motor shaft diameters, like 1mm, 1.5mm e.t.c.. Be careful when replacing propeller.
Motor performance is determined by numerous factors. You can read the details on the following page.

How to Choose FPV Drone Motors (oscarliang)

Video transmitter (VTX) and FPV camera

The transmission output of VTX is usually 25mW. If you fly in a place with good visibility such as a park, the radio waves can reach at least 50m (160ft). However, since the radio waves used are in 5 GHz band, if you fly inside the house, radio waves will be blocked by obstacles such as walls, and will hardly reach. If you want to fly around in your house, you should stand in the center of building as much as possible and open all doors. Alternatively, replace with higher gain antenna or use higher output VTX. Depending on model, transmit output can be switched to 200mW, 500mW or more.
Also, some drones do not have a video transmitter (VTX) and camera. In this case, you need to purchase the one that fits the drone separately and install it yourself.

PIT Mode

Some VTX products have a "PIT Mode". This is a function that lowers the output to about 0.1mW. At events such as races, goggles can be used to operate the OSD menus of nearby drones without affecting other pilots.

Digital VTX VS Analog VTX

VTXs for drones usually transmit analog video signals in NTSC / PAL format, but recently there are products that transmit their own digital signals. Digital VTX provides a clear view with very little noise, but you can't see it with normal analog FPV goggles. Pay attention to the VTX specifications when purchasing a drone.
In digital VTX systems, the camera and VTX are sometimes collectively called the "Air Unit."
Digital VTX systems currently on the market include "DJI Digital FPV System", "HDZero" and "Walksnail Avatar". They are not compatible with each other, so each requires its own goggles/VRX (receiver). For more information, please refer to Digital FPV system for FPV drone/How to use digital FPV goggles / Walksnail Avatar HD/HDZero/DJI Digital FPV system .

Firmware adjustment

Tiny Whoop runs on open source firmware. By connecting FC (Flight Controller) board of drone to PC with USB cable, and using companion software (Configurator) of firmware, it is possible to adjust the flight characteristics and so on. In recent models, Betaflight is often used for FC firmware, and BLHeli_S is used for ESC (Electric Speed Controller) firmware.
Please note that some FC boards for beginners or lightweight models do not have a USB connector (cannot be adjusted by user).

Flight mode

Depending on drone, you can switch between multiple flight modes, such as flight stability-focused mode ( Angle / Level / Stab ), mode that allows for somersault with a high degree of freedom in posture ( Horizon ), aerobatics mode ( Acro / Rate / Manual ), and racing mode (Race) (the name depends on installed firmware). At first, practice in a mode that emphasizes flight stability. However, if you do not use the aerobatics mode, your flight will not improve. It is recommended that you switch to practice in aerobatics mode as soon as you get a feel for the maneuver.
For more information, see Flight Mode of FPV drone Angle/Horizon/Acro/Air .

Flight Mode of FPV drone Angle/Horizon/Acro/Air

Turtle mode

When the drone is turned over, it is a function to get up by rotating one of the front and rear or left and right propellers at high speed. With a drone equipped with this feature, you don't have to turn over by hand. Normally, you can operate the switch on the controller to switch the drone to turtle mode and operate the elevator or aileron on the stick to get up. Also known as “Flip Over After Crash”.

OSD screen

On the screen of FPV goggles, on top of the image from the drone's camera, information such as remaining battery level and flight mode of the drone are displayed. This is called OSD (On Screen Display). The information displayed on OSD and its display position can be set with the drone's firmware companion software. You can also enter the drone setting screen by starting drone and operating stick in Throttle center, Rudder left most, Aileron center, Elevator full up with Disarm. On the setting screen, you can move cursor by operating right stick up and down, "Enter" / "Select" by operating the right stick to right, and "Return" by operating to left.

Opening of radio station (in Japan)

Video transmitter (VTX) mounted on the drone transmits radio waves of amateur radio in 5.8 GHz band. In Japan, it is necessary to apply for this video transmitter (VTX) as a "radio station" and obtain (open) a radio station license. If you transmit radio waves without a license, you will be punished with imprisonment for up to 1 year or a fine of up to 1 million yen.
To apply for a radio station license, it is necessary to attach a "construction design document" that shows the block diagram of the transmitter. Select a product whose block diagram can be downloaded from the manufacturer's site.
No license is required for receiver: RX. For this reason, FPV goggles do not require a license.

Store product information

FPV drone related products, especially the drone itself, have a short product cycle, and it is not uncommon for product information to disappear from the manufacturer's website as soon as it is discontinued. When you purchase an FPV drone-related product, first download and save as much relevant information as possible from the manufacturer's website. Also, use your browser's print or save function to convert the product introduction web page into a PDF file and save it. It is recommended to save not only the drone itself, but also the initial firmware provided by the manufacturer, the CLI dump, and the web pages of the parts such as FC used. Otherwise, you will be in trouble later when you want to repair or modify the product.

Various Tiny Whoop / FPV drones

There are numerous types of FPV drones on the market today. Here, we will introduce only a few of the small models, especially products for beginners from BETAFPV and EMAX.
Values in "Weight" column below do not include battery weight. To determine takeoff weight, add battery weight to this. The weight of battery varies greatly depending on the capacity (mAh), but in case of about 300-450mAh for small drones, it will be about 7-14g(1S) / 14-35g(2S) / 25-50g(3S) / 38-60g(4S).
Under Japanese aviation law, a visual observer is required to fly an FPV drone with an aircraft that weighs more than 100g (200g until June 19, 2022) (Needs constant monitoring within the visual range). Please be careful.
(Notice:. "Takeoff weight" in Japanese Flight Rules does not include the weight of removable accessories other than battery)
