Most Thrust 65mm Whoop // Betafpv Meteor65 Pro 2022 // Bazinga!!

[@RcMcNutt]

Can't believe you uploaded this today. I literally picked mine up from the p.o. 15 minutes ago! Came to youtube to look for some setup tips and saw this LOL! It's my first time setting up an elrs quad so it'll be a bit different. What a little ripper! Thanks for sharing this Nick.

[@twiggy749]

I love this drone! It has an uart elrs receiver, blackbox integrated, powerful motors, bt2.0 battery plug, it comes with Bluejay installed and the charger is really fast, in 10min you have 2 lipos charged. It is a sweet! It is true that the vtx goes in a separate board, but the image quality is way better compared to other solutions :)

[@khalidtarawneh2289]

Good day Nick, I left the hobby of flying rc in 2012 and never thought it will ever come to this level of awesomeness. I always had a thing for micros and after watching u wizz around ur place and dodging furniture just got the STAR WARS Pod race before i hear u mention it. Now im bit by the BUG. Got my self a Mobula 7 and looking to get a BetaFPV 75 pro. Can't thank u enough ur the man

[@NickBurnsFPV]

oh great. Glad to have you back having RC fun.

[@ccurrivan]

I converted my hdzero 65mm to this frame and it deals with the weight much better. The lower board has cuts that fit the ducts and the vtx sits on top.

[@CapnBry]

Heck yeah, I think this is the best power setup for whoops: 35mm props, 0802 19KKV motors, still ~65mm. You really showed off how great it flies indoors. I switched my Mobula6 2020 parts (with an external ExpressLRS RX of course) over to this Meteor65 Pro frame and props, 20.5g without a battery. I'd swear I get longer flight times **and** more power now. Don't need no 30000KV motors if your props are almost 30% bigger! Hope we see more BNFs spec'd like this.

[@8BiT_fpv]

Holy Catfish Nick! shredding the house in this one! great flying man!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

lol. Thank you

[@jandomingo9806]

Removing the motor plugs and shortening the motor wires has given me about 20seconds more. And the controls feels alot more accurate.

[@5olace]

at my local chapter we run any ducked whoop from 65-75, so that means 35mm can be used as well! Though I've heard for bigger races like whooptopia, the racing is restricted to 31mm prop'ed whoops only.

[@crash_lander]

The flight video is so clear so amazing. It looks digital. It’s unbelievable.

[@volkergoe]

The dive from over your house sure helps to judge low-throttle propwash handling. I personally don't use the stock-tunes but most pilots rely on it.

[@juliusthaler169]

Is use it on the Justicefpv preset and i can Tell you flying that outside is really awesome. I could not make it to washout.. i have footage too.

[@jkbradford8]

Man Nick you were going so fast!! Nice!

[@flyingdutchmanfpv]

Recieved mine today, I actually bought it for the parts to setup a Fractal 65. But I like it a lot, flies really well. I think I like it better than my Mobeetle. Personally I don't like the very high kv motors, to twitchy for my house. The little charger was included btw.

[@juliusthaler169]

I am rocking this on 25kkv 0802s for 2 months as my main whoop. Im in love with it and indont wanna fly 31mm props again 😅 Nik you have to fly it outside 100% i could barely get that thing to washout and was REALLY suprised..

[@jandomingo9806]

It won't washout as it's not too heavy plus is configured as props in.

[@ChrisHarmon1]

I got one of these and while trying to adjust the camera angle down some I removed the canopy and antenna. Sadly trying to pop the antenna off, the UFL connector came off the PCB. I always make sure to lift with two fingers using my nails evenly on both sides and this is the first to have broke on me. I swapped a Happymodel OX303 VTX I had laying around on it, now all is well again. Got weight down to 21.4g and Quicksilver firmware on mine and it feels LOCKED. My only better flying indoor quad now is my Fractal 75 with Quicksilver.

[@TinyWhoop]

man i love your reviews! i think indoor is way way more important than outdoor flights for most Whoops but don't let anything hold back another release :) ps i'm setting up a ding on my landing pad like your bowl :)

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Thank you!! yea, that landing was funny to me as well. The table bowls come and go, that one has a nice ring to it.

[@Stygmah]

[@gabormihaly667]

Yes, because the drone law regulated everything, but in your apartment you do what you want.

Great flying indoors. That thing really rips. You really rip that thing with solid control. I just got mine and man it's a lot more powerful than I expected.

[@erto6144]

Very important to see the outside performance :)

[@goldentrigun]

This was my second drone... My first was the rotor riot bubito. Thank God the meteor 65pro is awesome and firmly kept me in the hobby after the previous dumpster fire. I can attest I do not see jello flying in the sun and it performs quite well flying in harsh light. I've broken 2 frames flying outside in the winter. Hopefully as it gets warmer I won't break them anymore.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

good to know there isn't jello. Thank you

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

I got the air 75 and for some reason just wanted to buy another smaller so I got the meteor 65 pro. Holy crap. This thing screams. it goes hundred yards in three seconds. Faster than the air 75

[@recifestargazer2192]

I swapped my hdzero 65mm into this frame/props and gained 1min more flight time imediately. And It also flies way way better. Mine weigths about 24.5 grams. No Reny screws.

[@oranmclean559]

Outside is key on choosing any quad I think.

[@JonFloFPV]

I got this just recently and love it. I did a quick check of the extra camera mount tabs and they appear to be the same angle was the camera that’s already in the drone. So… nope not adjustable. Just might allow for a slightly different sized camera.

[@pippifpv]

This is looks smooth. My mobula6 just broke. The vtx broke. Perhaps this should be the replacement once I get back on top financially

[@sixtofive]

Ha! My profile pic is one of my favorite 2s 85 mm builds on one of their orange frames. I agree, it looks sharp.

[@johncarold]

Hi Nick, Great video and review of the meteor65, I am impressed, I just purchased the Meteor85, and I have been having a blast with it. My mobula 6, needs to be retired, and the meteor65 looks great. Thanks again for the video and review of the BetaFPV Meteor65.

[@turboomni848]

I just received a Betafpv meteor 85 2022 edition a few days ago. I am impressed with it so far . It's my first Betafpv product. If the Meteor65 pro was 19 or 20 grams I would buy that too but I will wait till there is a lighter offering or wait and build one of my own before next winter.

[@PiotrMalinowski-vd4ov]

Regarding outdoor performance test I would love to see it even in a separate video if possible. 🙏

[@kwanpunka]

I really wanted to see you flying that whoop outside. I hope you can upload a video as soon as the weather allows it. I really appreciate all the information you gave us! Thankyou!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I keep looking for a wind/weather gap. So far I haven't had much and had to use the better days to fly the quads that must be flown outside. But yes, working on it.

[@kurtzFPV]

[@patrizioaddis2427]

I suggest to put on the front helmet thing, cause gives a perfect protection for the camera

[@jataku]

I had those wobbling issues as well and I thought it was the props or the tune. Checked my motors and yep, the screws are loose!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Nice. Its really the first time I have seen such symptoms and solution

[@turboomni848]

Winter is around the corner ,,,,thanks!

[@Yith]

I've been running this frame with hdzero on it for a while and it's been performing really well. It's a lot more resilient than the happymodel frames. No damage yet. I've been using the many spare 34mm props from my old uz65 which bit the dust last year. 25.37g without battery. 3min-ish flight time on the tattu 300mah folded bt2.0 batteries

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic flying, Nick! Sick as freaking... I don't even know what. 😂 Great review as always! Really interesting little quad, I loved it! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@BigDan1190]

Hey Nick! Thanks for the great whoop content. If you had to choose between the Meteor65 Pro 2022 and the Mobeetle 6 - which would you go for? Both ELRS, both analog. Cheers

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I like the larger prop of the 65 pro

[@babyzfpv1234]

Flying this in good weather outside is actually a lot of fun. It takes off and you can fly it around a pretty good distance. Just be careful of the crashes that this thing takes. The VTX is very sensitive.

[@addisonfrancisco9007]

I cut the vtx connectors off and soldered the camera instead. Now there are no issues with the hard crashes.

[@taammedii6270]

Mr Nick 😊 Does this beautiful Quad easily bind with the " LiteRadio 3 Pro " Transmitter ? Thanks for the content.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

There is much to a full response to this question. 1. The protocol must match on the radio and quad 2.If the protocol is ELRS, the ELRS version on both must match to the major version. Major version being the first number in the versioning. 3. "Easily" depends on experience, with the protocol as well as quads.

[@KOrnhOliO1]

This is a perfect example of why would anyone buy that new Newbeedrone whoop when it is $160 and this new BetaFPV whoop is only $110 with an easy to get 5% off from BetaFPV's website? Newbeedrone gear is overpriced and ridiculous, really, because it's not a good whoop, and this one schools it for 50% Less Dough! Good for BetaFPV for being innovative in ways that we care about and that work! A really good value in my book! 😎🤘 Nick, you are a MASTER PILOT! It's incredible the speed you get inside your house!!! Mind blowing. 😵‍💫🤯💯 PS No reason to have outdoor footage of a whoop. Indoor is where it's at, and I certainly wouldn't hold up a review for outside flying of a whoop. IMO, I'd rather have your commentary and opinion, in a concise 10 minute review, than have all this flight footage and a longer review. Seems everyone's FPV videos are getting longer and longer, when 10 minutes or under should be a goal. 🤔🤷

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Sorry. I do have a hard time keeping videos short. I have made it a point to try to shorten them, but often have to go back as I leave out what could be useful or important details.

[@KOrnhOliO1]

@@NickBurnsFPV No apology needed, Nick. Just suggesting what I think gets people more views, especially to the end, and makes it more enjoyable for viewers. IMO, you post way more flights than need to be seen. Just one is fine because you do a full flight from take off to landing. We don't need any more than that. And, especially when reviewing a whoop, we don't need an outside flight AND and inside one. Just inside is great! I for one, love your breakdown of the 3 screw canopy, and reasoning behind liking 4 screws, the material the frame is made from and it being very flexible, the colors, what comes with the quad, and every other little tid bit of info you mention from seeing and flying so many of these quads. Those are the valuable parts to me...and I believe to others. Flight after flight is a great way to reduce the time. I jump ahead and skip 3/4 of the flight video, and get to your opinions and tid bits of great info - There's where the value really is at in all of your videos. Anything more than one full flight - that seems redundant to me. I get bored and skip it. Thought I'd let you know my opinion. A 20 minute review of a whoop does seem like a lot for most to stay tuned in for and watch the entire video. I know KZbin rewards you for a person watching all the way to the end. So much flying does me in, but all that info, that's where we strike GOLD! Thanks again for all you do for our great hobby!!! 👍

Awesome review. I'm shopping around for the latest and greatest in this class, but also switching over to ELRS for the first time. This gem still seems very relevant, and perfect for my needs. Also still wanting to stay away from digital for this size whoop. The other two I am currently looking at are the Mobula6 and the AcroBee65.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

The acrobee will be the lowest thrust to weight ratio. The meteor65 pro the most weight heist to weight ratio of the three. Mobula 6 2024 in the middle. Hope that helps decide

[@dubzsquaredfpv7171]

I race with clubs in Indianapolis and Cincinnati and they allow 35mm props for racing. The Cincy group is hosting the annual Race at the Museum (USAF Museum) in Dayton this weekend and 35mm props are allowed there too. Whooptopia did not allow 35mm though.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Do any of them have "whoop categories"? Like for 35mm or 40mm propped whoops?

[@dubzsquaredfpv7171]

@@NickBurnsFPV Not in my experience. The local races in Indy/Cincy just let you run them all together. We've got 31, 35, and 40 all running in the same heats. The more serious races with money and prizes usually restrict you to 31 and 35 or just 31.

[@DooSum_FPV]

Very interesting! I for one definitely would love to see an outdoor flight as I fly predominantly outside. I also predominantly fly whoops. Thanks Nick!

[@Shadrach.]

Agreed!

[@dahretoes5864]

am definitely thinking about picking this up, i only have the regular cetus kit at the moment

[@zachmachina]

Most races DON’T have a prop size limit of 31mm. Half of the races will let you run 75mm whoops even if that’s what you have. It’s only the more established local chapters that might rule out 75mm in my experience. And it would have to be like a really established chapter where the race director just doesn’t like 35mm props in order for them to ban those. For the big races where you travel across the country to attend, it’s just race director dependent. Some race directors push back against 35mm whereas others embrace it. The weight of the frame and props almost are even with a normal 65mm build. And the physical size is almost just as close. So there’s not really any reason to ban it outside of feeling like it gives an unfair advantage. These races don’t ban Hdzero and that is a way bigger deal in terms of weight and potentially causing stress to the race director. And several HDZero racing pilots are actually moving to 35mm props as well. All that to say, it’s definitely kinda a toss up whether or not a race director will allow them. But there’s also no reason for them to not. And on top of that, I see people complain about how a typical 31mm prop 65mm whoop flies ALL the time. Increasing the prop size and getting better disk loading is just gonna help that. And especially now that the 4th Annual USAF Museum Race is this weekend, it’s been a topic among top pilots as well, as this race has always embraced and allowed 35mm props. Multiple Hdzero pilots are taking advantage of that and several of the potential podium finishers have said they’re either really thinking about using 35mm props or that they think it’s the better choice, but are gonna run 31mm props anyway because it’s what they’re used to, it’s what other big races require, or it’s just what they already have built. To me it seems many of the best racers have already acknowledged 35mm is a better choice for most circumstances, it’s just tradition holding them back. It’ll be interesting to see how long this tradition keeps 35mm out of some of the big races but I don’t think it will be forever. Especially since some of them already allow it. But even now, unless you’re looking to travel across the country for a big race, you most likely will be allowed to run 35mm props at any race you attend.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Really great whoop racing information. I really appreciate it. I am a bit surprised as well. But if the races allow 35mm and your a 31mm flyer and feel 35mm is an advantage, well time to change or just absorb the thoughts of an advantage not taken advantage of.

[@sixtofive]

I'm really interested to see how their new meteor 75 pro turns out. Looks like they've made a new 80.8 mm frame that uses their 1102 18000 kv motors and 45 mm Gemfan props. That might finally be the sweet spot for a 1s Walksnail whoop.

[@dropfile]

Yeah. I'm quite excited about coming 75 pro as well.

[@ChrisHarmon1]

I was recently wondering why there is no gap between 65mm props and 75 to 85mm props, glad to see someone is on it. I would also like to see more 2s with say 150-200mah batteries in series that should come in around the same weight as a single 300 which would really benefit the HD systems that drop out during dips to 2.8v for HDZ and 3.1v for Walksnail.

[@atzod]

Oh yes it is! It flies almost as good as 2s but with all 1s benefits. Cant wait for 550mah battery for it. With triblades and walksnail have decent 3-3,5min of proper flight time. 75 pro - perfect for walksnail 💪

[@babyzfpv1234]

You’ll love it. Handles great and when you do dives it doesn’t sag. Use tattu batteries though…

[@ssgllc7007]

I have multiple Cetus x drones from betafpv (3 quads, 2 warranty/replacement cam/vtx combos and 3 extra frames). There is no way they are not lying about there vtx output (double negative… I’m aware). It sucks because like everything else about it, and that frame in particular is no friend to modifications. any aftermarket vtx would just have to bounce around on top of the fc. I’m still new to the hobby, but that does sound smart to me.

[@wairwolfpv]

I like to see the outside flights!

[@ferocious_r]

Nick, by now I think I know your house's layout better than my own. Thanks for another great review! Just to help with the frustration of learning how to whoop ... before you upload a video like this, how many times will you have had to try because crashes? Any tips for getting to this level of confidence in one's flying, especially acro mode around the house?

[@ferocious_r]

Alright, nevermind, just got to the part of the video that has the crashes. Really heartening to see those! 😀

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yes, I certainly still crash, I would get at least 40% of my indoor flights have 1 crash and some flights I am no good and crash frequently. I have been flying in the house about 6 years and have progressed overtime. I suspect if I weren't reviewing flying different quads all the time I would expect the skills to be a bit better than they are.

[@melomaniakjm]

Great review, this looks like a great drone to get started. What goggles and RC do you recommend to get started with that drone?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

really depends on budget. There are many good radiomaster radios to chose from, goggles can range from about $100 to $600

[@sebasgovel]

I don't know if I would be better going with this meteor 65 pro or the Cetus X kit. The Cetus X has more power (2s), but it seems not to be as agile as this one. I'm a beginner and this would be my first quad, I've considered also the emax tinyhawks and geprc tinygo kits, but they're not as easily accessible as the beta FPV drones (they are officially sold in Amazon) I want a indoor racing whoop but I would really appreciate it being capable of doing freestyle outside, I would buy some extra batteries (idk if 300 mAh can replace the 450mAh that come with the RTF kit)

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Often when we get started and if we enjoy fpv we will build or buy several more :) with your comment I suspect the cetus might be a better option as it is one of the few sold on amazon, should be fairly durable and outdoor capable. Being 2s it will be more challenging inside, I suggest starting outdoor and spending plenty of time in an fpv simulator if we can

[@Pokben]

What is the difference between meteor 65 and 65 pro ? Which one is easier to use indoor for a beginner ? (great video ! thanks !)

[@NickBurnsFPV]

the difference is prop size. 31mm vs 35mm. Due to the increase in performance I thing the meteor 5 is more suited for a beginner.

[@lievenvv]

I really love the 35mm form factor in general! For me the following goes for any quad: let's use the biggest props that'll possibly fit the frame! (i.e. let's get the smallest drone that'll work with those props) I like micro's 😎 Currently testing a 2S 68mm whoop with 35mm props and Walksnail...

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I think several in the comments here have converted traditional 65mm 31mm propped whoops to an hd whoop with 35mm props.

[@aphinity]

I’ve been flying the meteor 65 pro for a year now and I love the larger props. I’ve fleeted out my whoops with this frame and setup. I find the 19500kv motors a bit spicey and I prefer 16000kv for smoother, linear throttle. I follow frame size and not specifically prop size at our local whoop series.

[@mattalford3932]

I just bought this whoop, and 4 extra batteries. Also 2 more 6s batteries to go with me Tinyhawk pro 6s lol.

[@amin0_acid310]

I did not know these had bigger props. It looks like it rips pretty good considdering the extra weight in your flight videos. Might be time to get a few of these frames and put a moblite6 into one of these with those 35mm props. Thanks for the Video!

[@akitaishi]

Of course it had bigger props. Look at the frame ? It has circular ducts with rims that are closer to each other. Betafpv frame vs the mobilite frame.

[@publicname515]

Why does your video footage look wayyy better than all the other youtube video reviewers for this drone? Did you upgrade the camera?

[@Tokyo_Dom]

65mm is much better in smaller houses, and tends to feel "smaller" which is great even in many outdoor environments. Tree surfing, tiny gap hunting, and yet they fly 80% as fast as 75mm whoops

[@NickBurnsFPV]

nothing close with the bt20 connector on betafpv quads.

[@slackerinmotion]

Don't understand the rationale behind the 1mm motor shaft given the larger tri-blade prop. Seems to me that if they standardized the motor stem and prop hub sizes to 1.5mm, there'd be fewer bent motor shafts, and the additional economy of scale due to standardization would lower mfg. cost.

better is so so subjective, and can be environment dependant. The tinywhoop pinch camera often get high marks. For outside and sun light handling the cadd ant is pretty good and low weight as well.

Super curious about it's handling outside. My first 6 months was pure 65mm outside. The only diff was brushed, vs brushless, and I think brushed is exciting and has more punch and hold in wind. Have you reviewed brushed setups recently? 😹

Nice review, Nick. I am on your page with weight savings. The new canopies are pretty heavy with those unneccesary barnacle parts, BUT I like the HD variant in which you attach the HD VTx to the canopy, thats neat. The extra VTx and the silly camera holders need to be changed, too. I think Happymodel/Eachine/URUAV (I forget which one) had a 65mm Whoop with 35mm props, too. Maybe they will get inspired to release a V2 😄

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yes, there was that 65mm 35mm prop whoop a while back. I do believe that one actually measured 65mm. I used that one in a few videos. The frame was so compact I am not sure another board we have available would fit.

[@dronemate]

I love your super clear video feed..how you did that?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I fly race band 8 with the immersionRC rapidfire and two axii antenna. The open floor plan of the house and my sitting location are all key

[@BusDriver84]

Hey Nick. Great content. I started FPV earlier this year with a Mobula 6 ELRS. I've put a ton of cycles on the packs and the wear is beginning to show - flight times are much shorter and the voltage drop can even cause complete power loss until I plug/replug the pack. Flight performance has also become somewhat frustrating with inconsistent throttle response as the flight progresses. Should I just replace the PH2.0 connector with a BT2.0? Or, perhaps replace the Mobula with the Meteor65? I only have 8 PH2.0 packs, so not much of a loss there. Also, typically, how many cycles can you expect to get out of a 1S pack before it needs replaced?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Yes, if you have many flights the ph2.0 is likely wearing out causing those symptoms. If you do have the option and budget might want to investigate switching to bt2.0. We have yet to find at what point those wear out.

[@dondupuis4007]

Nick off subject, but a while ago you recommended a glue you use that bonded really well, I had some but the tube was almost empty and got throughout before I reordered... Can you help me out? Thank you. Don Dupuis

[@NickBurnsFPV]

That was likely welder adhesive. But its been pulled from the market for some reason. I next suggest using E6000 or B7000

[@dondupuis4007]

@@NickBurnsFPV Wow, I Rea Lynliked it, pulled one of the small plug of my whoop video connection, glued it back on with the Welders adhesive, and it actually worked and I was able to update my Walksnail system, like it because it does harden unlike 6000, haven't tried 7000. Maybe a welders expoxy you mix will work, will try a few.. Thanks. I knew I should of got more than one tube😀 I do get the 6000 in the mini tubes, so they never harden up after use, and if they do, I don't lose a big tube.. Have a great day… Don

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@dondupuis4007 I tried to find a source but everywhere online was out of stock. I also looked at my local hardware stores. I still have about 1 and 3/4 tubes, I haven't tried the alternatives much, just recommendations from other whoopers.

[@kjngmax]

The images verry clean. i can't believe this is analog transmistor from beta 65 drone. Can you show me about goggle and antenna for receiver. I use skyzone 04x, but the image noise so much. Thank you

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I cover my google setup and video in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3a9fKeNoMp4grM

[@MrCrowleyandhisdrone]

I love your rippin inside an out. Nice job, great vid🙂

[@scottmilano2940]

No need to take a 65mm outside. What are your thoughts on higher KV motors, 25,000kv to 30,000kv? I find higher kv on bi-blade props flys noticeably better.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I would need to do more back to back testing. I am not certain I have a preference on equal quads. On higher kv I might have a stronger preference one way or the other, I haven't done enough back to back testing to know with any certainty.

[@ralf102956]

Hi Nick, thx a lot for your review:) I flew my tinyhawk 2 a lot indoor in acro mode but looking now for something more powerfull so that I can also learn to make flips and loops indoors. Did you think that the new meteor65 pro quad will be good for that purpose? Or should I better order an mobula 6 with 25kv motors ? thx a lot for your feedback:)

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I think this would be better than the mboula6 with 25kv motors.

[@danlatu209]

I can't wait to see your review of the Betafpv meteor 75 PRO 45mm props coming out soon. Not sure if it will have the 0802 or 1102 motors?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I don't know which motors it might have. We shall see when its launched I guess.

[@paulstaib2696]

Hey I’ve been waiting on this one! Great review!

[@LittleMissRollerCoaster]

Tiny Whoop are meant for indoor, so indoor flight is fine! 🤩🤩🤩

[@M461C]

nice video work, very helpful :) whats your analog setup (vrx module & vrx antennas)? Need equipment for my HDzero goggle coming. Thanks a lot

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I use rapidfire with two axii antenna. Verticle antenna is double axii and horizontal is a single axii

[@gaylekakac313]

Great flying

[@fernandoheras4893]

can you make video of how to bind a new drone to the current radio remote and goggle system one is using

[@NickBurnsFPV]

binding elrs is pretty similar from quad to quad.

[@Strelinc]

Hi Nick! I know that you prefer race tiny whoops, but have you any ideas which has better handleability for indoor freestyle?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

often if freestyle means tricks we want higher kv motors. many are moving to high kv 25000+kv and bi blades for the quick prop response.

[@midwestsp3]

IMO having a uart alone would be worth it😊

[@MikeRM399]

Loved the indoor fly ! Can this be fly with the FrSky XLite Radio with R9M Lite Pro Long Range Module?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

They have an frsky version, but its not R9M compatible.

[@MikeRM399]

@@NickBurnsFPV hi Nick , I'm switching to a frsky ,I' been flying flysky , do you recommend me the xlite radio ? I see most drones are built for frsky, (flysky can't find new drones) I love whoops . Thanks Nick

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@MikeRM399 The new firmware Frsky isn't compatible with most whoops. Expresslrs is far more popular. Thankfully an expresslrs module could be added to the xlite. The R9M can even be modified to run expresslrs, but I haven't done it or really investigated it much.

[@lightbulbjim]

Since I built my 2" 2S I have no desire to fly my 65mm whoop (with 31mm props) anymore. Maybe this could be the answer. Also really good to see some non-SPI ELRS AIO options appearing.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Fly that 2" 2s inside? Or no inside flying overall?

[@lightbulbjim]

@@NickBurnsFPV Stopped flying my whoop inside and started flying my 2" outside instead. Of course I'm then at the mercy of the weather, but I've been lucky so far. The 2" 2S is just too much fun.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

@@lightbulbjim ah gotcha.

[@Cre8ionz.]

No current sensor fot "mAh" measurement ?! can you test that ?
