Comparison Between Air65 Champion, Air65 & Meteor65

Note: The Air65 is crafted for advanced pilots aiming to push the boundaries of FPV agility and racing flight performance. For newcomers to FPV or those flying for entertainment, the Meteor65 Pro is a better choice. It offers enhanced durability, requires no welding, and provides a more beginner-friendly experience.

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

Powered by the upgraded 0702SE II Brushless Motors, Air65 takes propulsion and performance to new heights. Whether it's the Racing or Freestyle Version, the Air65 is designed to maintain exceptional agility and precision, perfectly suited to conquer racing tracks or freestyle flights with ease.

The Racing Version now boasts a 12.7% thrust-to-weight ratio boost, reaching 5.82:1 with 0702SE II|27000KV Motors for explosive speed. The Freestyle Version sees a 13% improvement to 5.26:1 with 0702SE II|23000KV Motors, offering fluid control and precise movements. Paired with lightweight GF 1219S 3B and HQ 31mm 3B props, it excels in both 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.
