    Help! XM+ binds, but no inputs

    Yep that was the issue! I don't know why I kept checking that slider, but when I realized what I did I felt really dumb for wasting so much time trying to figure it out. As for the wires, I ended up redoing pretty much all of it to clean it up and added heat shrink around the ends. Wish I would...

    Help! XM+ binds, but no inputs

    Disregard! After posting my pictures I realized I only needed to click Serial Rx and not configuration. I feel dumb now haha

    Help! XM+ binds, but no inputs

    Also this is how the XM+ is wired to the board.

    Help! XM+ binds, but no inputs

    When I am setting up the serial Rx on UART1 should those setting stay after the reboot? This is what I set it to. and this is what it goes back to after the save and reboot.

    Help! XM+ binds, but no inputs

    So I watched his video and I tried soldering to each pad with no luck on either. I also read that inverting could work so I did serialrx_inverted=on in CLI with no luck.

    Help! XM+ binds, but no inputs

    I was in the process of upgrading the VTX and Rx on my Tinyhawk Freestyle and after finishing up I bound my QX7 to the XM+ (got the green light), but when I go into betaflight I don't get any inputs from the receiver. I made sure serial rx was set to UART1 and it is configured SBUS. I also...

    Self Level Modes

    I guess that was the question I had was do I need to be level and on the ground when enabling horizon or angle mode. My thought was that if I could enable it mid air I could let off the sticks and keep a little throttle in and it would correct itself back to level then I could take over again...

    Self Level Modes

    So I am still new to the hobby and this may be a silly question, but I have been flying the Tinyhawk Freestyle for about a week now. I think I have been doing pretty well, but sometimes when I go to no throttle during flips or inverted look backs the quad will start to flop and tumble. I can...

    First Flight!

    This is nothing special by any means, but here is my first FPV flight ever. Spent a couple of days on a sim and then took the plunge with the Tinyhawk Freestyle on a 1s battery. It came with two 1s batteries, but one won't take a charge and started puffing up already. Thanks @HighTechPauper for...

    Rechargeable AA batteries for transmitter?

    I second the Panasonic Eneloop batteries. Kinda pricey, but worth it.

    Sounds good to me. I am going to do some more research now, but I'm gonna go ahead and order that QX7S you suggested. I'm just trying to get a setup right away that can be used with future quads. I appreciate your help!

    @HighTechPauper will I need any antennas or anything for the goggles?

    New guy checking in!

    @HighTechPauper The radio said it did not come with those batteries, so I assume I need those for it. As far as a charger and batteries for the quad it said it comes with the two 1s batteries and a 6 port charger. I plan on getting more batteries and props, just not sure which ones to get.

    Hey everyone glad to be a part of the community. I am new to all of this and was wondering if you could lend me some help. Below is what I plan on buying, but was wondering if I am missing anything. https://www.getfpv.com/frsky-taranis-q-x7s-access-2-4ghz-24ch-radio-transmitter.html...
