Diagram of Babyhawk O3 Structure

1.1 Propeller Orientation and Installation
The Babyhawk O3 propellers have two rotation directions: Clockwise (CW) and Counterclockwise (CCW). When purchasing a set of propellers, please buy 2 CW and 2 CCW propellers.
When installing the propellers, push them onto the motors first, then tighten the corresponding screws to secure them. Finally, check if the installed propellers match the orientation shown in the diagram below. Note: If the propeller orientation is incorrect, it will directly affect the Babyhawk O3’s ability to fly and be controlled properly. Please carefully inspect and verify the propeller orientation. Regularly check the tightness of the screws to ensure they remain secure during flight. Exercise caution and ensure safety when installing or removing propellers!

3.2 EMAX ELRS_2.4G Receiver Binding
The EMAX ELRS_2.4G receiver can be put into binding mode by power-cycling it three times. As EMAX has already connected the receiver with the flight controller, you can directly plug and unplug the battery three times in quick succession to enter binding mode.
The red LED on the receiver will rapidly blink twice, indicating that the receiver is in binding mode. Then, make sure your RF TX module is also in binding mode and emitting binding pulses. If the red LED on the receiver remains solidly lit, it means the binding has been successful.
Note: EMAX ELRS_2.4G Receiver LED status indicators:
Double blinking: Binding mode
Slow blinking: No transmission signal received
Steady light: Transmission signal received
Fast blinking: WiFi upgrade mode

EMAX Babyhawk O3 Flight Controller Setup

The Babyhawk O3 flight controller comes pre-programmed and has been appropriately adjusted for optimal flight performance. For comprehensive adjustment and configuration settings (CLI dump file), please visit <https ://emax-usa.com>/ to obtain the CLI dump file.
4.1 Adjusting Software Settings (Betaflight Configurator)
Betaflight Configurator can be used to modify programming settings on the Babyhawk O3 and to flash new firmware as needed.
The Betaflight Configurator and flight controller firmware can be downloaded from https://github.com/betaflight/.
The Babyhawk O3 flight controller firmware is EMAX_BABYHAWK_II_HD.
EMAX has optimized parameters for the Babyhawk O3 to achieve excellent flight performance. Changing them could affect flight time, speed, control, motor heat, etc. EMAX strongly recommends not altering PID and firmware settings arbitrarily.
4.2 Reprogramming the Babyhawk O3 Flight Controller

1. Hold down the Boot button, then connect the flight controller to your computer using a Micro USB or Type-C data cable to put it in DFU mode.
2. Choose EMAX_BABYHAWK_II_HD as the target and select the firmware. Choose the manual baud rate of 256000 from the dropdown menu.
3. Choose “Load Firmware (Online)” to download the firmware.
4. Choose “Flash Firmware” to program the flight controller.

4.3 Restore Babyhawk O3 Default Settings
from https://emax-usa.com/ Download the latest CLI Dump file, open it in a text editor, copy all the text, paste the settings into the command bar, and press Enter. Once completed, Babyhawk O3 will reconnect to Betaflight.

Flying

Flying requires careful attention and should be conducted in open, controlled areas.
Prior to flying, make sure you’ve learned how to control the flight.
5.1 Babyhawk O3 Flight
Start by turning on your remote controller and FPV goggles. Connect the 4S battery to the Babyhawk O3 using the power cable. Once connected successfully, place the Babyhawk O3 on a level surface. The calibration process takes a few seconds. After calibration, you can start flying the Babyhawk O3. During flight, if the battery voltage drops to 14.4V, it’s recommended to stop flying the Babyhawk O3 to avoid damaging the battery.
5.2 Arming
When you insert the battery into the Babyhawk O3, the propellers won’t spin until you arm it. To arm, first move the throttle stick on the remote controller to the bottom position to prepare for arming. Then, flip the arm switch on the remote controller to arm the Babyhawk O3. The propellers will start spinning automatically. If a collision occurs, disarm the aircraft immediately. Failure to do so may result in damage to the Babyhawk O3.
5.3 Line of Sight Flight
Select an open area, connect the 4S battery to the Babyhawk O3, and arm it. Slowly increase throttle to maintain a constant altitude, and practice hovering and maintaining control of the Babyhawk O3.
5.4 FPV Flight
Ensure the Babyhawk O3 and FPV goggles are on the same channel and have a clear flight area. Similar to line of sight flight, arm the drone and increase throttle to maintain a controlled, constant altitude while flying forward. Gradually move forward to make FPV flying easier. On your FPV goggles’ screen, you can see important information like aircraft parameters, flight time, and battery voltage. These can also be set and modified in Betaflight.
Always prioritize safety, and remember that flying in FPV mode requires more attention and practice due to limited visual cues.
