My moblite7 came with a warped frame but still flew descent and gets 2 to 3 times the flight time my Tinyhawk 2 gets on the same 1S battery. I moved it to a 75mm open prop carbon fiber frame and it flies great but did lose a little flight time. It still gets almost twice the flight time as my TH2. My only complaints with the TH2 is short flight time and the props tend to crack around the shaft hole and fall off easily. Bought a bunch of extra props but still consider it a design flaw the way the prop hub is made.

I may give it another whirl since i CANNOT SEEM TO STOP BUYING QUADS!!!  Problem with the Happymodel products is that the quality is usually EXTREMELY low.  Reading all the reviews confirm that it is a fun quad when it works but doesnt last long.  I have beat the HELL out of my th and it gets right back up and keeps going.  lost ONE prop in 3 months of flying when it crashed into a tree.

i dont see emax "baby" products as better quality, next to the low qc, emax does provide some proprietary board layouts. these boards often quiet their work, doesnt last - brings the situation to build a complete new quad or buy the proprietary emx stuff for high price again.

i know there can be qc issues on hm products, but in my case i even use 4?5? year old happymodel electronics, a lightweight 16x16 stack, which was i use on different frames and motors - electronics which just wont die.

rate which one has a better qc seems not possible, its just about lottery xD what places emax to the darkside on their "baby"-line is their proprietary stuff which does increase their income if there are qc issues - its a sell-system and personal i rate it as cheating.
its like if your are the biggest seller of military stuff and the biggest seller of prosthesis at the same time, it works as business model but its a sort of crime.

My wife’s middle school class beats the crap out of her tinyhawks..And surprising, the only major damage lately has been the camera, the props will break easily as this is a “poor” design for durability… I think the THII frame offers A LITTLE (not much)more motor/prop protection from hard surface crashes..
Now if I can just keep the kids from killing the damn Lipos!!!
