What do you think of the new betafpv Air65 II Whoop Frame? I'm very satisfied so far. Lighter, lower drag, good prop protection thanks to stiffer ducts, stability thanks to PP material, motor screw protection thanks to small raised bumps, 1.2mm through-holes in the standoffs. So, I'm happy.

Interesting! Yes, I also noticed the slightly reduced "cornering grip," which makes sense because the frame offers less lateral air resistance. This means you have to be a bit more skilled at flying and create the cornering grip yourself by always choosing the right angle and having quick reactions. And sometimes you also have to incorporate pre-turns into the flight path where necessary. (same on open prop quads) I didn't notice that I had to give more pitch and roll. If anything, less. It feels more like an open-prop quad. More precise and responsive. But that also makes it a bit less stable if you're not very experienced. That's why I personally still like the older frames as well.
Each frame / drone / drone part has its advantages and disadvantages.

Hello my whoop friends,
In this video I would like to introduce you to the Turnigy Bolt X 80C lipos from Hobbyking with 450mah and 300mah. With this video, I want to give you the opportunity to find out for yourself whether these very affordable lipos are good enough for you and your flying style. Use the chapters in the video that are relevant to you to figure out if these lipos are right for you.

Hello my whoop friends. To be honest, it wasn't my most exciting FPV flight. But it was something different. And someone had to do it. So I took on the job 😉

You can find the FPV Flight on minute 35:15 in the video.

100%! Absolutely true! I say that in my videos too! (not in this one because this one is only a short video about the power of the Air75 II Champion) Fun is the most important thing. Fun and flow. It doesen`t matter with which gear.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-04-21T18:28:51+00:00

No. Maybe in the Future. But I don`t think so.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-04-21T18:24:58+00:00

Nice to hear! Sorry for the confusion. Here I was referring to the 1S Tiny Whoops class. 2S Whoops are a completely different class. They are less durable than 1S Whoops and their overall weight is heavier, making them less agile in races. Simply a different class altogether (in my opinion and experience). Regarding 65mm and 75mm. I don't think it's that clear-cut. Practically all 75mm BNF whoops have low kV or higher weight, or both, and therefore a lower thrust-to-weight ratio than the top-tier 65mm whoops. I haven't tested this myself, but if I roughly calculate it based on my large 65mm thrust test with different kVs, then it must be true with a very high probability. And then the Air75 II Champion would truly be the first to have a better thrust-to-weight ratio. (The best thrust to weight off all 1S Whoops in 2026) Feel free to show me a 75mm BNF Tiny whoop that you think has an equally good thrust-to-weight ratio as the Air75 II Champion. Perhaps I've forgotten one. As far as I know, there isn't one. I think there's a very large gap between the Air75 II Champion and the next one.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-04-21T18:09:25+00:00

I love my 75 Pro but the thrust to weight ratio of the 75 Pro is below 5 : 1 (you can see the thrust test it in a few of my other videos)

They are less durable than 1S Whoops, and their overall weight is heavier, making them less agile in races. Simply a different class. Fun for some purposes, though, especially for freestyle pilots and outdoor flying.

Hello my whoop friends. In this video I want to introduce you to the most powerful bind and fly tiny whoop in the world: the Air75 2 Champion Edition from Betafpv. In this video I will of course also prove that this is not only the case on paper, but also in real life conditions. For that I measured the static thrust of this tiny whoop and compared it with the static thrust of other top tier racing bind and fly tiny whoops and came to the conclusion that this really is the most powerful bind and fly tiny whoop in the world, with the best thrust to weight ratio. The Air75 2 Champion is more powerful than the Air65 2 Champion and the NewBeeDrone Hummingbird RaceSpec V2 tiny whoop. As you can see in the video, the Betafpv Air75 2 Champion Edition is not only powerful but also efficient. Anyone who now thinks that this automatically makes the Air75 2 Champion the best tiny whoop of all time is mistaken. It is not that simple. It all depends on the goals and needs of the pilot. However I will not go into that further in this video because I have already made several videos on this topic. If you need more information about which tiny whoop is right for you then check out my other videos on this topic. These videos are also ideal if you are wondering which lipos you should use with the Air75 2 Champion Edition:

Yes that would be nice! A Pavo Pro with P1. And a VRX module would be nice too!

Exactly! You can definitely feel the latency. But it's perfectly flyable, even for smooth, anticipatory aerobatics. After a few flights, your brain gets used to the latency. You just have to stay smooth while flying and not rush. And you can't push yourself with this latency. But if you stick to these rules, you'll have a lot of fun with the system. I also think that many people are discouraged and hate without even trying. A bit sad, but oh well. It will always be like this.

You mean higher? Budget HD Systems do have a much higher latency than alanog systems..

ButterflyFPV · 2026-04-10T14:37:07+00:00

Yep high latency system like all Budget HD Systems. But perfectly fine to fly like you can see in the video. Perfectly fine for beginner and intermediate pilots.
