BETAFPV Air 65 Review - The Lightest Tinywhoop in the market

[@fpvsmurf]

I have the mob6 24, can't wait to get this to see how it compares! Nice review...

[@NordFPV]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@0xGiamma]

This will be my first drone, I read there is no ELRS receiver, should I buy it separately? (and how to mount it?) I also need goggles and the radio transmitter, will the VR02 + lite radio 2 from BETAFPV be enough or should I buy the VR03 + lite radio 3? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@NordFPV]

The drone has a receiver. Mine has the ELRS receiver as you can see in the video. Goggles and radio are many, all depends in what you want to have, your budget and what do you feel with. I’ll recommend to go with a bit of better things like those goggles and that radio if you are even thinking of getting serious with the hobby.

[@Kuzminische]

Hello! Please tell me where to buy a box for storing batteries like the one in your video!

[@NordFPV]

Hi. It’s 3D printed. You can find the model in the same printable profile as the canopy.

[@Rckid28]

Where did you get that battery case????????????

[@NordFPV]

I printed it with my 3D printer. I have the STL in my printable.com page if you want to print one.

Did I miss something? That seems to be a new bfn , that's not released yet. I know that frame and motors have been out for a while, but not this drone. Awesome review man! You're the first for this. When will it Release ?

[@NordFPV]

Yeah. Seems like I got the wrong release date or the actual released got delayed and I released the video too early. The BNF should be out any day now.

[@miguelt.7997]

Do you have the stl file for that battery case? looks good!

[@NordFPV]

Yes. It’s in my printables profile. www.printables.com/search/models?q=Nordfpv

[@miguelt.7997]

@@NordFPV Man, that's an impressive collection on your printables profile. Thank you!

[@NordFPV]

@@miguelt.7997 Your are welcome. I try to share everything I design. I hope you find it useful.

[@srlg552]

I like that battery case, Thingiverse?

[@NordFPV]

I think I found it in printables.com.

[@yohanzo]

Thank you 🙏 excellent review! Do you remember if you must use elrs 3? My other quads still use elrs 2. 😅 would prefer to stay on 2.

[@NordFPV]

Thanks. The drone comes with ELRS 3.x pre installed. But I don’t see a problem downgrading it. I would rather upgrade my other drones to 3.x, but technically it should be fine.

[@Sugar_K]

hdzero aio is around with testers.. my 65air framed hdz whoop is 18.8g with sensible mods, the aio has hdz and elrs on board. thing rips

[@OleksandrMaksiuta-g9j]

Are you testing this AIO?

[@Sugar_K]

@@OleksandrMaksiuta-g9j yeah

[@NordFPV]

That’s great news!

[@alexandrvishin8411]

18.8g ??? what are those "sensible" mods? I've switched to Lifght AF frame, de-soldered connectors, used lightest props, and still on 22g which is nowhere near to your 18.8g. You must tell me what you did!

[@Sugar_K]

@@alexandrvishin8411 it’s the proto hdzero/elrs/happymodel AIO, removed the plugs, shortened all the wires or replaced them, ti screws, lighter props, and a modded beta air frame

[@MQuigleyopiod]

Ordered the Air 65 today

[@NordFPV]

It may take a bit if you ordered directly from beta FPV because they are fixing the power level on the VTX and the new batch of AIO will come out in October

[@CYL347]

Air65 vs Air75 which is better?

[@NordFPV]

They are both very good, but the answer to that depends on what you are going to do with it. Race? Freestyle indoor? Freestyle outdoor? Cruising?

[@ArjunRavi]

Is the air 75 difficult to fly indoors? I am considering the 75 just for the increased battery life

[@zerotasteguy]

i can already smell the people complaining about your kitchen scale

[@NordFPV]

Ops 😅

[@AykutArgun]

When is it coming to the store NordFPV? Team Analog-ELRS

[@NordFPV]

Between summer vacations and betafpv not having enough stock I’m forecasting this drone to be in stock late September. The Mobula 6 2024 is already in stock and they are pretty similar.

[@AykutArgun]

@NordFPV yes but having heard in almlst every channel that its better and cheaper, while its summer and perfect to fly outdoors anyway, I am okay with waiting :)

[@NordFPV]

Great feedback. I will see if I can hurry it up.

[@Fpv-5280]

I buy it today

[@Rckid28]

Where do you live? That is a crazy awesome house

[@NordFPV]

Thanks! I live in Sweden.

[@KidCe.]

A kitchen scale that has +-2g accuracy for weighting something where 2g is like 10% of the weight? also betafpv is out of their mind making a new AIO board that doesnt have ELRS onboard when its currently the RX lInk 99% of people use. Wtf would i want the hassle of an external RX on a tinywhoop

[@NordFPV]

I give you the one about the kitchen scale, but I did mention that Betafpv will be releasing a 5-in-1 AIO with ELRS in it. So we will see what that AIO is all about once it’s released.

[@KidCe.]

@@NordFPV oh well, somehow overheard that
