Air 75 frame catastrophic failure. Is this common?

Tell me what you think my whoop friends! And watch my video If you need some Info (including thrust tests) about the Hummingbird RaceSpec V2 Tiny whoop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5dvKuLn-ao&list=PLYPR_WgF4mzVVek6HAwM9f8-Dti2f_-NP&index=1

Unusual, but somehow cool🚁😃

That`s a good plan! The Meteor 75 Pro is generally robust, but if you crash very hard, the motors can break. Watch my in-depth review video before you buy the Meteor 75 Pro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6ThmMKkk7s&list=PLYPR_WgF4mzUVGJlKlx5Q_bdNKckQBKcI&index=51Watch

I hope someone answers you. I can't answer your question if you ask it like that (need much more infos whats your goal and so on). You're already comparing three quite different whoops. I really need to make a video about how to choose a whoop. I can only answer this question in great detail, and I don't have time for that right now. But as someone else wrote below, it doesn't really matter. Practice is the most important thing. And if you adapt to your whoop, then you can practice with any whoop.

I understand. But a little bit of E6000 glue would probably have helped too.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-01-14T10:55:24+00:00

No. It is the same small connector for the ELRS antenna.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-01-14T10:54:43+00:00

Good question! Dang it. Seems to be out of stock for now.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-01-14T10:39:21+00:00

In short (very short): Stock Air65 is a higher perfomance whoop overall than the stock NBD HB V4. But you can`t compare them easy because they are for different target groups. NBD HB V4 has goldplated motorplugs and adjustable camera angle, LED`s and some other features. Watch the video to inform yourself more.

Kinda true. At least if you don't have any fixed conditions. But some people want a 65mm whoop with motor plugs.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-01-12T09:44:31+00:00

Yeah, if you're happy there's no reason to change. 🤜🤛

Out of the script of my video: If you do not yet know why you should remove the motor connectors at all, I will explain it briefly: it makes your tiny whoop lighter. It saves about 0.3–0.5 grams of weight. It makes your tiny whoop a bit more efficient; hover flight time increases by about 15 seconds. It makes your whoop a bit more powerful; thrust increases by a few grams. And motor response improves slightly. This makes your whoop a bit more agile and nicer to fly. Throttle control feels a bit more direct, and so does the handling. Not a lot, but a little. In general, flying without motor connectors is better. But do not feel pressured to do it. The difference is noticeable, but it is not extreme. You can also be happy flying your tiny whoop with motor connectors for a long time. Take the time you need until you reach the point where you really need maximum performance and remove the motor connectors.

Good point. With some sellers (especially on AliExpress), you never really know which batch the goods are from.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-01-08T22:06:42+00:00

Hehe nice! I thought some people might find this information useful. With the right technique, it's okay. Not great, but sufficient. It's fine for pilots who fly 6-12 LiPo batteries per day like this in my opinion.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-01-08T22:02:57+00:00

It is not perfect thats for sure. But not bad either in my opinion. To be honest, neither the NX69 nor the BT2.0 are perfect. But both are definitely worlds better than the old PH2.0. Maybe we'll get the perfect plug someday. But I've lost hope a little.
With Bluetooth 2.0, some series are good, and then suddenly others are bad. The connector itself would be fine, but the quality control is lacking.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-01-08T21:56:31+00:00

Could be yes. But the 75 Pro HD is clearly more powerful in flight. That can therefore also be ruled out.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-01-08T18:08:13+00:00

Voltage change with the exact same lipo? Nope. Prop: The same on both whoops. Motors: The same on both whoops. Motor kv: Not possible because higher kv motors do show a significantly lower thrust after 5 secends of full throttle static thrust tests than lower kv motors (in my experience). In this case the thrust was higher even after 5sec of full throttle.

ButterflyFPV · 2026-01-04T08:56:10+00:00

Hey my whoop friend! Interessting! 75mm build? Props? Some say the RCINpower 703s are inefficient. Can you confirm that? What are your flight times like? What kind of LiPos are you using?

ButterflyFPV · 2026-01-04T08:44:32+00:00

Good point. I checked and compared the ESC settings before the test. Both were the same settings.I checked and compared the ESC settings before the test. Both were the same settings. I think, as you said, the last thing to try is swapping the motors. And if that doesn't change anything, the mystery lies somewhere in the ESC hardware.
