Flight Controller & ESC
The Air65 is now equipped with the Air Brushless Flight Controller (5IN1), featuring the advanced G473 processor, which provides superior computing power and lightning-fast response times—a significant upgrade over the F411 used in the Meteor65. Weighing just 3.6g, it integrates FC, ESC, OSD, VTX, and RX into a compact design, simplifying setup and maintenance while striking the perfect balance between performance and lightness. Powered by the industry-leading ICM42688P gyroscope and a custom micro-sized OSD chip, the Air65 delivers smoother, more responsive control. With multiple UART ports for flexible function expansion, the Air65 is designed for seamless integration into both racing and freestyle FPV, offering unmatched precision and fingertip control.

 

Upgraded Air Canopy
Experience high-quality, clear, and sharper images with the lightweight C03 FPV Micro Camera, weighing just 1.45g. We've redesigned the Air Canopy structure to be more flexible, impact-resistant, and durable. The improved bending effect enhances flexibility, reduces the chances of breakage, and greatly enhances explosion resistance for easier installation. Effortlessly accommodates an assortment of Micro and Nano Analog cameras. Supporting angle adjustment from 25° to 50°. With it, Air65 can chase the limit of freestyle and racing victory worry less.

 

Propulsion System
Whether Freestyle or Racing Version, Air65 can remain agile enough to effortlessly conquer racing tracks, catering to the diverse needs of pilots. Racing Version focuses on high-speed and high-agility flight, utilizing the 0702SE II|27000KV Motors and GF 1219S 3B Props for incredible speed bursts and agile steering. For a smooth and elegant free flight experience, the Freestyle Version features the 0702SE II|23000KV Motors and HQ 31mm Ultralight 3B Props, allowing for timely responses and precise follow-up actions. This winning combo propels the Air65 far beyond any limitations in terms of speed and maneuverability. 

 

The Ultralight LAVA 1S 260/300mAh Battery is a compact premier for Air65. With more concentrated center gravity, it offers crisper response, greater acceleration, and enhanced maneuverability. Featuring the groundbreaking Z-Folding Process, this LiHV battery exceeds conventional capacity and discharge thresholds. And equipped with the BT2.0 U Cable Pigtail, saying goodbye to folding cables, for easy plugging and an extended lifespan. Lighter weight by reducing pigtail length. Achieve the ultimate lightweight choice for drone racing or freestyle. 

 

Air65 Frame
To enhance the flying experience, DIY enthusiasts have diligently worked on reducing the weight of the 65mm whoop drones, especially frames for an ultra-light structure. We upgraded the Meteor65 Micro Frame to the Air65 Frame, which achieves a remarkable weight lighter from 3.64g to 2.67g. It maintains exceptional strength and durability while introducing a new motor fixed slot, and optimizing a low-profile design. Having 6 color choices, it indisputably emerges as the top topgallant choice for pilots seeking an unparalleled ultra-light Sub18g 65mm 1S Whoop drone and personality.
