REC S550
Score: 67/100
Tiny Hawk Tinyhawk 2 II
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Tinyhawk 2 II RTF Kit provides a complete micro FPV racing setup with adjustable camera tilt and switchable VTX power levels, supporting both indoor and limited outdoor flights. Its default low VTX power and requirement for a ham radio license for D8 mode may restrict some users, and flight time is modest. Suited for beginners and indoor racers who want an all-in-one package with upgrade potential.
The REC S550 is a value-priced hexacopter frame kit offering a sturdy polycarbonate-fiberglass construction and six motors/ESCs. It lacks integrated electronics and higher-KV motors, making it best suited for experienced DIY builders who want a customizable heavy-lift platform.

Professional reviewers praise the REC S550 for its durable construction, low cost, and straightforward motor/ESC mounting, but caution that the kit provides only the frame and basic power components, omitting essential electronics.
Everyday builders appreciate the sturdy frame, tight motor fit, and affordability, while frustrations focus on short screws, the need for soldering, and the absence of a flight controller or other electronics.
Professional reviewers highlight the EMAX Tinyhawk II's complete RTF package eliminates compatibility concerns and guesswork for beginners, providing drone, goggles, and transmitter in one box. They note the adjustable camera mount, switchable VTX power, and modern F4 controller, but mention default VTX power limits and ham license requirement.
