Flight Controller & ESC

The Air65 now features the Air Brushless Flight Controller (5IN1), which includes an advanced G473 processor that offers higher processing power and lightning-fast response times - a significant upgrade over the F411 used in the Meteor65. It weighs only 3.6 grams, integrating FC, ESC, OSD, VTX and RX in a compact design, simplifying setup and maintenance while striking the perfect balance between performance and light weight. Powered by a unique ICM42688P gyroscope and custom OSD microchip, the Air65 provides smoother and more responsive control. With multiple UART ports for flexible function expansion, the Air65 is designed for seamless integration in both racing and freestyle FPV, offering unparalleled precision and control at your fingertips.

Enhanced Air Canopy

Experience high-quality, clear and sharper images with the lightweight C03 FPV Micro Camera, weighing just 1.45g. We've changed the structure of the Air Canopy to make it more flexible, impact resistant and durable. The improved bending effect improves flexibility, reduces the risk of breakage, and greatly increases blast resistance for easier installation. Easily accommodates a range of Micro and Nano analog cameras. It supports angle adjustment from 25° to 50°. This allows the Air65 to easily reach the limits of freestyle and racing victories.

Drive System

Powered by upgraded 0702SE II brushless motors, the Air65 takes propulsion and performance to the next level. Regardless of the racing or freestyle version, the Air65 is designed to maintain exceptional agility and precision, ideally suited to conquer race tracks or freestyle flights with ease.

The racing version now offers a 12.7% increase in thrust-to-weight ratio, achieving 5.82:1 with 0702SE II|27000KV motors for explosive speed. The freestyle version gets a 13% improvement to 5.26:1 with 0702SE II|23000KV motors, offering smooth control and precise movements. Combined with lightweight GF 1219S 3B and HQ 31mm 3B propellers, the Air65 excels in both speed and maneuverability.

The ultralight LAVA 1S 260/300mAh battery is a compact choice for the Air65. With a more concentrated center of gravity, it offers faster response, better acceleration and increased maneuverability. Featuring a groundbreaking Z-Folding process, this LiHV battery exceeds conventional capacity and discharge limits. And with the BT2.0 U Cable Pigtail included, we say goodbye to collapsible cables, making it easier to connect and extending life. Less weight thanks to reduced pigtail length. Achieve the best choice of ultralight equipment for drone racing or freestyle.

Air65 frame

To improve the flight experience, DIY enthusiasts have worked hard to reduce the weight of 65mm whoop drones, especially the ultra-lightweight frames. We upgraded the Meteor65 Micro frame to the Air65 frame, which achieves an impressive lighter weight from 3.64g to 2.67g. It retains exceptional strength and durability by introducing a new motor mount location and optimizing the low profile. Available in 6 colors, it undoubtedly stands out as the best choice for pilots looking for an unparalleled ultra-light Sub18g 65mm 1S Whoop drone and distinctive design.
