BetaFPV Air65 II Champion Drone ELRS 2.4GHz

BetaFPV Air65 II Champion ELRS 2.4G Drone
Built for the new generation of 1S performance, the Air65 II redefines the balance between power and durability. At its core is a specialized drive system available in three distinct setups — Champion, Racing, and Freestyle — each tuned with dedicated motor and propeller combinations for optimized thrust, response, and control. This precision-tuned power is backed by a tough, purpose-built structure, featuring the durable Matrix 5IN1 II flight controller with a powerful 12A ESC, plus a reinforced frame and canopy designed to handle repeated impacts. Created to deliver nonstop performance in every flying style, the Air65 II is an ultra-lightweight whoop made to dominate.
Key Features
- Three performance-tuned versions: choose the setup that matches your flying style best.
- Champion: 0702 36000KV motors for maximum power, GF 1207 3-blade props, and an ultra-light 2.20g frame built for serious racing.
- Racing: 0702 30000KV motors with GF 1207 3-blade props for ultra-fast throttle response on technical tracks.
- Freestyle: 0702 25000KV motors with GF 1219S 3-blade props for smooth, efficient, and cinematic flying.
- 0702 brushless motors (2026): feature a revolutionary 0.1 mm stator core plus custom magnet and winding designs for each version.
- Matrix 5IN1 II FC: durable 12A continuous ESC, 3-point mounting, and a thicker 1.0 mm PCB for more power and better crash resistance.
- Air II Canopy: upgraded materials, reinforced construction, and adjustable camera angle from 15° to 45°.
- Air65 II / Champion frame: optimized airflow channels, reinforced structure, and a PP material blend for stable, reliable flight.
- Low weight, high thrust: the ultra-light build achieves an impressive 6.3:1 thrust-to-weight ratio in the Champion version for explosive acceleration and precise control.

Three Drive Systems
The Air65 II comes in three versions: Champion, Racing, and Freestyle. Each one uses 0702 motors with a 0.1 mm stator core, optimized windings, and dedicated magnet setups. All versions are powered by the Matrix 1S 5IN1 II flight controller with a 12A ESC (continuous, 18A peak), giving the drone the ability to handle high current loads with confidence.
Champion delivers maximum output and a 6.3:1 thrust-to-weight ratio. Racing is all about ultra-fast response and razor-sharp agility, while Freestyle focuses on smooth handling, control, and efficient flight performance.
Built to Take a Beating
Flight Controller
The Matrix 1S 5IN1 II flight controller uses a 3-point mounting system that creates a shock-absorbing buffer during crashes, reducing stress and cutting damage by up to 80%. A thicker 1.0 mm PCB further improves durability and impact resistance.
New Canopy and Frame
All versions feature the impact-resistant Air II Canopy made from upgraded materials with reinforced construction. The Racing and Freestyle versions use the Air65 II frame, while the Champion version gets the ultra-light Air65 Champion frame. Both are designed with airflow channels and PP material for better impact absorption and long-term reliability.
Community-Driven Improvements
Based on FPV community feedback, more than 50% of pilots highlighted the need for better crash resistance — making durability one of the key design priorities behind the Air65 II.
Precision-Tuned Flight Experience
Every component — from the motors and props to the flight controller parameters — has been carefully tuned for each version. The result is three clearly defined flying styles: smooth Freestyle, precise Racing, and all-out high-performance Champion.
