Verified Reviews
Trusted by thousands of pilots.
"Pre-tuned out of the box. Bound my radio, took off, no PID tweaking needed. Perfect first freestyle drone."
"135 g and rips like a 5-inch. My new go-to for park sessions."
"Buzzer plus LEDs saved my drone twice in tall grass. Smart inclusion."
"Half the price of competing 3.5-inch BNFs and flies just as well. No-brainer."
"ELRS link is rock solid. 1.5 km in clean LOS, no glitches."
"Switchable VTX 25 to 600 mW means I stay legal in France and switch up for park sessions abroad."
BabyApe II FAQ
Everything about the BabyApe II.
A 3.5-inch freestyle frame at 135g takeoff weight, sub-250g compliant. Upgraded power system over the original BabyApe, stronger build, and arguably the most cost-effective freestyle BNF in its class — analog version sits at almost half the price of equivalents.
Yes — our top pick for budget-conscious beginners. Ships pre-tuned in real flight by Modélisme Shop experts with Angle mode enabled by default. The built-in buzzer and onboard LEDs make crash recovery painless.
Around 13 minutes per 4S 850 mAh LiPo (without an action cam onboard). Top speed reaches 92 km/h with up to 1.5 km of ELRS link range. Recommended battery is the 4S 850 mAh XT30 — battery is NOT included with the drone.
INCLUDED: the BabyApe II BNF drone with onboard SPI ELRS 2.4 GHz receiver, plus a small accessory kit — spare screw pack, sticker pack and a QR-code manual. NOT INCLUDED: battery (4S 850 mAh XT30 recommended), ELRS-compatible radio transmitter, FPV goggles, and LiPo charger. Plan for these separately before your first flight.
BNF means 'Bind and Fly' — the drone is built and pre-flown with an onboard SPI ELRS 2.4 GHz receiver, but no radio transmitter is bundled. Bring your own ELRS-compatible radio, bind it to the receiver, then take off. Always verify your transmitter firmware is ELRS 2.4 GHz before binding.
French regulation caps 5.8 GHz VTX at 25 mW and requires dual-control supervision for FPV immersion. The BabyApe II VTX is switchable 25/200/400/600 mW — keep it on 25 mW and follow your local licensing rules. Modélisme Shop is not liable for use of this hardware without a proper license.

Indoor freestyle king.
3.5-inch is the sweet spot for tight indoor freestyle. The F411 stack tune is dialed out of the box. Power feels honest, not on/off.
BabyApe IIY
Picked analog — zero regrets.
Went analog VTX option for that classic low-latency feel. For racing-style freestyle this is still unbeatable. Great that DarwinFPV gave the choice.
BabyApe IIE
Acro in weeks, not months.
Started in stab mode, switched to acro after 10 packs. The forgiving prop wash and balanced PIDs make learning so much faster. Best teacher drone I've owned.
BabyApe IIR
Solid, slightly louder than expected.
1504 motors are punchy but a touch louder than my 1404 build at the same throttle. Performance is excellent, just be aware if you fly residential.
BabyApe IIK
Tiny powerhouse.
The 30A ESC handles aggressive throttle punches without any sync issues. Smooth power delivery from cruise to full send. Confidence inspiring.
BabyApe IIT
Great with a custom camera mount.
Printed a custom mount for my Naked GoPro and it transformed the cinematic potential. Stock setup is great too, just wanted more tilt for proximity work.
BabyApe IIA
Best value 3.5-inch I've tested.
Benchmarked it against three other 3.5-inch builds in this price bracket. BabyApe II wins on tune, build quality, and the analog/digital VTX choice. No-brainer.
