BTFL 4.1.2, 16.77 48kHz w/ (JazzMaverick) Telemetry & RPM Filtering enabled: O_H_5_48_REV16_77.HEX
This is a semi-tuned maiden, unfortunately in 30kph gusts of wind at -12°C. It's very floaty, with no options for increasing braking power afaik. The 48kHz might have something to do with it, but I'd rather have the efficiency and fly around the tendency to fluff down on these giant parachute props.
@1:05 Both the ESC's and the FPV AIO crash at ~2.5Volts... this could present an issue that may necessitate actually using timers on the Taranny. It happened in flight @5:50 to just the back motors on a very gentle blip of throttle to arrest some of the forward momentum I carried out of a descent. They wouldn't reboot without pulling the battery.
Direct-soldering was a nightmare, the additional 24x solder joints on the arm LED's involving 28AWG wire was simply a dumb idea; not worth it. I've got a lot of tweaking and finalization to do before I'll be comfortable flying this, but it's off to a really good start. You can punch it full-throttle and it barely gets louder. This thing is made for guerilla night flying!

Emax Tinyhawk 1st 4-pack session (Kabab's tune still, sux for me on TH props)
I'm still grading on a curve cause of how impressive the H8 was. Lots more H8 to come!
The camera and VTX are... well... if it isn't obvious, compare it to other things.
Wobbly-ass POS in any turbuhlance whatsoevaar. Needsum seckuuuretteh, up in hurr... so I don't hit the blacktop chasing cars. Washes out easily; needs moar tilt. I like the better punchout, but I'm thinking I can solve that on the H8's w/ Nano QX props or something.

Soon to tear one of them apart and figure out why the video is so terrible, and try to fix it. Leaving this here for a "before" reference.
