Infinity Loops // Put through its paces

“Survived to fly another day!”

Infinity Loops reports spending days putting Aero through its paces, with the whoop still flying afterward. Their published description calls it an incredible little 65mm whoop; the review asks the question: does it freestyle?

CurryKitten // Racing, not entry-level

“Fast and agile racing whoop”

CurryKitten's published description makes the distinction clear: Aero is a fast, agile racing whoop, not a beginner-focused model. Follow his review for a closer look at the power behind this compact platform.

Protection // recovery

Protection where hits happen.

A race whoop has to survive the line it attacks. Full-coverage ducts shield all four propellers, the tall canopy surrounds the FPV lens, and the compact layout keeps electronics close to the aircraft's center.

ResetDesigned to recover from routine glancing impacts and keep flying

Tinyhawk Aero is designed for routine racing and proximity impacts; no lightweight FPV aircraft is indestructible.

EM2.0 connector // preserve the power path

The smallest part can set the power ceiling.

Battery current reaches the ESC and all four motors through one connector. Under hard throttle, resistance in that path becomes voltage drop—so connector headroom matters most at the exact moment a racing whoop asks for maximum punch.

10AContinuous current

20ABurst current

12.5mΩInternal resistance

More current headroom

EM2.0's published ratings provide approximately 11% more continuous-current capacity and 33% more burst-current headroom than BT2.0's published 9A continuous and 15A burst ratings.

Open source by design

EMAX publishes the connector design package, STEP model and battery test document so manufacturers and pilots can inspect and adopt the standard.

Tinyhawk Aero was performance-tested around EM2.0. Keeping that connector preserves the tested electrical path; any conversion changes the system, so compare current rating and resistance alongside plug familiarity.

Current figures are published manufacturer ratings. Real voltage drop also depends on battery condition, wire gauge, soldering, contact wear and operating temperature.

Buyer questions // answered

Choose fast. Buy informed.

Is the Tinyhawk Aero ready to fly out of the box?⌄

No. Tinyhawk Aero is a BNF racing whoop, so you need a compatible ExpressLRS 2.4GHz transmitter, matching FPV goggles or receiver, and a charged 1S HV battery. Bind and verify controls before flight.

Should I choose Analog or HDZero?⌄

Choose the version that matches your existing goggles. Analog is the lightest option and works with standard 5.8GHz analog receivers. HDZero provides a digital FPV path for HDZero-compatible equipment.

Which Tinyhawk Aero motor option should I choose?⌄

Freestyle 27,000KV emphasizes smooth control, Racing 30,000KV balances light weight with quicker response, and Performance 35,000KV delivers the highest listed thrust. Every motor option is available in Analog and HDZero.

What battery does the Tinyhawk Aero use?⌄

The recommended battery is a 1S HV 320mAh pack with an EM2.0 connector. A battery is not listed as included with the BNF aircraft.

Why does Tinyhawk Aero use the EM2.0 connector?⌄

EM2.0 provides published ratings of 10A continuous, 20A burst and 12.5mΩ internal resistance, giving the Aero power system additional current headroom during high-load throttle events. It is also an open-source design published by EMAX on GitHub. Changing connectors changes the electrical path used for the published Aero performance tests.

Is the Tinyhawk Aero intended for racing?⌄

Yes. Tinyhawk Aero is purpose-built as a racing whoop. Its 65mm ducted frame, low mass, three motor options and dedicated Racing configuration make it EMAX's most focused tiny-whoop racing platform, while the Freestyle and Performance options provide different power characteristics.

Are the listed flight times guaranteed?⌄

No. The listed times are hover benchmarks from controlled testing. Actual flight time changes with throttle use, battery condition, motor option, video system, RF settings and environment.

Finish your pit setupChoose from the current EM2.0 battery range, plus the matching six-port charger. The 320mAh pack is the specified Aero setup.
