I started off with thinyhawk3 racing drone. This freestyle version is a fantastic upgrade with much better performance, especially using the double batteries. I was disappointed with the range of the vtx, i couldnt fly around the perimeter of my house from the back yard without losing signal, and the range overall left more to be desired. I ended up upgrading the antenna (easy pop on, pop off) with a Lumenier AXII 2 U.FL 5.8GHz Antenna - Extended Wire (RHCP). I have a matching antenna on my goggles. This more than doubled - nearly tripled- the range. Its ability to do rolls, flips, and whatever tricks you want is good practice prepping for a larger drone. I do feel it could use a little more punch, its definitely quick, but feels a little under powered for things like power loops or stopping itself from significant free-fall speed. Overall, this has good enough performance to keep you from growing out of the drone too quickly and i feel its a fantastic starter to get into fpv flying. (Note, This drone uses ELRS reciever protocol and will not work with the tinyhawk 3 race drones Frsky controller. Wont be an issue if you buy the RTF kit or have a controller with ELRS.)
