The Emax Tinyhawk and the Happymodel Mobula7 need no introduction. They are extremely popular and are a lot of fun to fly, both indoors and outdoors.
If you have been looking for the best 1S batteries you can get, look no further. In this shootout I have tested and compared the most common options for 1S High-Volt LiPos, from 450mAh to 650mAh.
Which 1S batteries are you using now and which is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below!
TLDR/W:
Go for the URAUV 550mAh or Emax 450mAh for best performance. All the Emax samples I tested performed better than the GNB - maybe it is a matter of different batch.
If URUAV continues to ship the 450mAh like this, they have the best capacity for your money.

Test procedure:
All batteries are conditioned to a certain temperature and are cycle-charged before the tests. All charging is done with a SkyRC D100 charger and data is captured via the Charge Master software. Internal Resistance measurements with no load are also taken with the D100, at storage voltage and at full charge.
Discharge tests (capacity test and discharge stress tests) are performed with a CBA IV (Computerized Battery Analyzer) from West Mountain Radio.
The capacity test discharges the battery at 1C rate, down to a cutoff voltage of 3.2V. It graphs the whole process and also outputs an average IR rating for the entire test.
The CBA IV is triggered and controlled via scripts, for more automated tasks. Each discharge test is triggered by a custom made program called "MuteFPV Discharge Helper".
The CBA IV begins to draw current until it reaches the pre-set amp draw test current. The tested battery is discharged until it reaches a cutoff voltage of 3.3V. It is then allowed to recover for 5 seconds, before the next run is initiated. When the battery fails two consecutive runs, the test automatically stops. Temperature is monitored and logged during the whole testing procedure.
** The batteries tested have not been cherry picked, at least to my knowledge. They are brand new and unused batteries, conditioned, cycled and tested right out of the box. Nevertheless, your results may vary.
** All tests have been conducted under my supervision and full attention. Data is monitored in real-time, to ensure safety and quality.

![Taranis mods #5: Backlight mod (SMD LED replacement) and custom display bezel - QUICK GUIDE
Finally I got around to doing the backlight mod on my FrSky Taranis X9D PLUS transmitter. I have wanted to convert the stock blue / cold white color of my stock display to a shade of orange for so long! And also replace my scratched screen cover while I am at it...
As a mod it is pretty much straight-forward: access the stock SMD LEDs and replace them with the color combination of your choice. In the backlight settings of the X9D you can adjust the intensity of each of the two LED colors and achieve the color you need.
Performing the mod is where it becomes tricky. Putting my carelessness aside, which was the reason why I damaged the ribbon cable of my display, the panel of the backlight was so well stuck to the PCB boards of the LEDs that I had to break the two short edges, in order for it to be detached. I hope yours has not adhered so firmly... Thanks to Minichado for helping out - also thanks to KokoblokoFPV for his spare LCD display :)
If you find SMD soldering intimidating, just make sure you use a fine clean tip, thin solder and tweezers. There is plenty of room around the LEDs so take your time and solder them one by one, flush to the board. If you have never soldered SMD before, make sure you practice before performing this mod.
This is QUICK GUIDE: Taranis mods #5 - Backlight mod (SMD LED replacement) and custom display bezel - Lets go!

![Best propellers for the Emax Tinyhawk: Stock 3-blade vs Avan-TH 4-blade turtlemode props
The Avan-TH props and 10A 1-2S ESC finally arrived so here it is: the comparison between the stock 3-blade and the Avan-TH 4-blade props for the Emax Tinyhawk.
The obvious difference is that the Avan-TH props are capable of turtlemode, which the stock props cannot do at all. They will add just 0,2g to the All-Up-Weight of your Tinyhawk and will deliver a bit more power.
As expected, power consumption will be a bit higher and flight times a bit reduced. This hobby is all about trade-offs though, isnt it?
This is Stock 3-blade vs Avan-TH 4-blade turtlemode props for the Emax Tinyhawk - Lets go!
