Arming
Arming refers to setting Tinyhawk II Race to a fly ready state. When Tinyhawk II
Race is powered on first it will not spin up the propellers until it is armed. Arm the
aircraft by first moving throttle to the bottom position. Then move the left switch of the
radio to its 3
rd
position upwards. You will see the propellers spinning when Tinyhawk
II Race is successfully armed.
In the event of a crash always disarm immediately. Failure to disarm in a timely
manner can damage Tinyhawk II Race.
Always disarm Tinyhawk II Race before handling it.
Flying Modes
Tinyhawk II Race comes stock set in rate mode. This is an advance mode where
control sets the angular rate of the aircraft. The AUX 2 switch is set to change this
mode on a 3 stage switch. When AUX 2 is in a high state, Tinyhawk II Race will be in
angle mode where control sets the attitude of the aircraft. When the switch is in the
middle state, Tinyhawk II Race will be in Horizon mode.

moving in a forward direction so always apply a slight amount of pitch using your
right thumb stick. You can steer Tinyhawk II Race like a car using yaw on the left
thumb stick.

Tinyhawk II Race. The OSD displays important information such as flight time and
battery voltage. Pay attention to these numbers during flight to know how much
battery life is left. Tinyhawk II Race can fly for a maximum of 4 minutes. When the
battery reaches 3.2v, land Tinyhawk II Race. Drawing the battery below 3.2v is not
suggested and can damage the battery.
