So the receiver that comes with this package...Eachine 2.4Ghz w/ OPENTX firmware 2.19 @ 8 channel has anyone figured out how to delete models? I accidentally copied the novice 3 profile and filled the other 30 slots...I tried navigating through the menu but to no avail. Can anyone provide any insight or provide me some guidance so that I can remove the other models from the receiver? Thank you.
There's probably a better place to post this, but it takes about 10 seconds to flux, and solidify the hollow pins of a male PH 2.0 connector. Works perfectly. I actually have a bin of PH 2.0 with solid pins, but I thought of this one day, and quickly decided to test it. Amazing how with the right approach, the solder was sucked right off the iron into the channel, filling up the pin solid, without even a hint on the outside to affect the fit. I then loaded another tiny amount of solder, and dabbed the crimps.
@@AndyRCchannelTo entirely avoid the chance of melting the connector: Using a fine pointed tweezer, gently pull up the little plastic tab that lock each pin into the connector housing. While holding the tab up, pinch the corresponding wire near the connector housing, and pull it free. Alternatively, you can pry up the plastic tabs hard enough, so that they will stay lifted up off the locking barb of the crimped pin, allowing pin removal in a second, and separate effort (sometimes easier.) When returning the pins to connector housing, make sure they are inserted fully, and align tweezers, or small needle nose pliers, with both plastic tabs at once, and squeeze down enough to return the plastic tabs into their original position. Verify the pins are locked back into the connector housing with a close visual inspection, and a light tug at each wire. Of course this approach is harder wear on the plastic locking tabs, and so can be performed a limited number of times before the connector housing is shot. The other method will better preserve the integrity of the of the plastic locking tabs, but requires greater dexterity to accomplish. At any rate, when the pins are free of the housing, there of course is no concern about melting anything. This also provides for lightly soldering the crimp too. Soldering the crimp should not really be required, but you may see worn crimp area, wire stretch at the crimp, or just a poor crimp job, which imo lend themselves to such a treatment. Now, in both cases (Im speaking of the pin, and the crimp,) load only the tiniest bit of solder on the iron tip to avoid applying too much, affecting the fit tolerance of the pin into its mate, and the crimp into the connector housing. Try using solder wick to remove some solder, if you accidently apply too much. With all that said, this can absolutely be accomplished without removing the pins. A fine tip on your iron (I use TS-B02 on my TS80 soldering pen,) is more important here. Apply enough flux (in this case still a very small amount,) to cover the open channel of the pin, as it will help 'wick' up the solder into the channel, filling up the pin perfectly, and effortlessly. You want to load the solder onto the very fine tip of your iron (not the side, near the tip, but the true very tip,) which can take a little skill on its own. The amount, and position of the solder on the tip are important, because when done as described, it only takes the quickest touch of the iron to the pin, for the pin, and flux to heat, and wick up the solder. Not only do you avoid prolonged heating, but you also keep the iron tip furthest away from the plastic as possible.
DRONE review man of all drones me to busting for one never seen one that’s this good just a shame it’s in a kit if it was a BNF I think Eachine would cash in with this one looks a great little drone
@@wooler78 which one would you recommend? i have the flysky fs i6 transmitter version and i would like the range up to 1000 meter but anything you can recommend is good :P
Hey Andy - any chance of you doing a PID tuning tutorial? I've watched others but you seem to consistently deliver good tunes and so I am curious about your process. Thanks!
Hey Andy, I started with the tiny hawk rtf and learned the basics of flying fpv. I absolutely love this hobby. I recently bought the tiny hawk freestyle. What would be the best next micro I should get. I need suggestions please!!!
True.. But think about how many units they have FC are probably already Installed flashed then boxed up.. That would be a mammoth job to update each quad guess the cheapest option for them is to just sell them with V1 hoping customers know how update the firmware. Which 90% of us can do but that last 10% those poor poor 10% quads fly like crap :D
Nice video Andy. i want to buy my first fpv drone. Im between "Eachine Novice 2" and the "Tinyhawk 2 freestyle". whats your opinion? i know that the tinyhawk can carry a gopro session which is good so my secont question is do you think the Novice 2 can carry a gopro session camera? Thank you
Great video! I’m waiting for mine to arrive 😊 I was hoping maybe you could recommend a decent transmitter to replace the one in this kit? Something that won’t break the bank lol thank you
Wow, they really need this in like an $80 BNF! These would sell great for Christmas! I know I’d buy at least one (I often buy 2x or more due to experience with Lizard95, I still have a GTR349 still in box since I’ve yet to destroy the first one, but it give it time, haha!). I love the US/UK65, the only thing I’d want different on it is carbon fiber frame options (and this twig looks great because of that carbon frame if I’m flying outside anyways). A little longer flight time and a bit more speed is always a plus in my book!
Perhaps Eachine should release this as a BNF ... with FrSky & FlySky options. Now that it has decent batteries, perhaps release it as a 2S BNF with an XT-30 plug on it. Thanks for the look. Cheers.
Hi! What do you think, can Novice’s 2 electronics put into whoops frame, for example 75mm Trashcan’s is pretty solid, and fly like a developed Novice 1?.. :)
What's up Andy this is Chris from Tampa Florida of course United States just one question so this novice 2 as a complete set it hasn't been released yet by eachine or has it
Did you notice that the Novice III claims to have "Internal SPI Frsky D8/D16 receiver (Dual antenna and with PA)"? Finally an SPI reciever with usable range?? The Novice III also includes an upgraded controller, might be considered Minimum Viable Product for anyone that's flown a quad before - given how bad the other transmitter is.
I never had one of these super light quads. I guess this is the one I'll go for. As soon as they release a BNF or PNP version, that is. Do you think this model could carry a nano split camera? That would be the ticket for me.
I broke the antenna on top of the drone that gives signal to my goggles, I’m brand new to fpv so what exactly is that called and how do I fix it or replace it?
Hey, Andy, about the Novice I, I couldn't fly it yet (it's been raining for weeks here! 😭), but although I have a huge nose (trust me, I'm from a Italian family 😬), those goggles didn't hurt me. Well, at least for the time I tried them... Anyway, if they do, I'm going to use my dremel tool. 😂
@@AndyRCchannel box goggles. Cheapest serviceable ones. I was looking at the EV800DMs for 60 quid. It would be helpful if you can fit glasses under them.
@@frasersteen I have them and I actually like them, they seem to split a crowd. but do you need reading glasses for them? If so ill try them out for that

Excellent review ! Very informative. I would definitely buy if released as a bnf. Btw, have you seen the new betafpv 1s connectors. Huge improvement ! That's what I would upgrade to. 🤘😁👍
Looking for a 3 inch twig/toothpick frame. This frame in 3 inch would.be really interesting. I don't like the eachine twig frame, and there's not much else.
I've figured out why it comes with a crap transmitter. All new eachine models are frsky only. Frsky don't do a cheap transmitter. Back in the day you would have got a flysky i6. Which to start with would have been a lot better.
@@nfnworldpeace1992 Ahh that's good to hear. I've got one coming (hopefully) this week I ordered and it comes with the fs-i6. So hopefully will be OK. 🙂 That's one of the reasons I chose it over some of the other rtf kits like the th2 -fs... cause it seemed like the included radio was a bit more a serious hobby-grade type radio not an unusable toy. And can apparently be used on a simulator (with the cord I ordered extra) and be bound to other quads. Least that's my understanding, which isn't much haha. It'd sure be nice to have someone could ask for help or advice on what to order and set-up and all that sometimes. 😄 Cheers.
looks like a sweet kwad mate! i think ill hold on a bit longer and get your review of the n-3... from what ive seen on the site it looks saweeet!! but as we all know pics dont tell the whole story lol!
Its a close call but the price is not comparable. The phantom comes with a better receiver. However it needs these props and could do with the extra 500KV on the motors. You also need to buy the batteries / charger and is almost as expensive as this all in one package as a BNF. Where as i think eachine could release this as a BNF much cheaper than the GEPRC. Until they release the eachine as a BNF i would recommend the phantom
Eh maybe if eachine didnt have me blocked. Terrible company, terrible customer service. Make sure you test everything you buy from em. Got some stuff from them for christmas and didnt use it untill spring, plugged a 5s into the 3-5s rated fc/esc combo and it flew 10 seconds and dropped out of the sky. Upon research it was a common issue with that model yet they mocked me saying "what do you want unlimited warranty? Lol" when I called them out on a post they made they blocked me. Smooth
