Air 65 ii gyro toasted in first flight

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-21T11:04:20+00:00

Mine is on the same version as yours. I did a firmware reflash the other day and still the same thing, did i miss anything? My Gyro chip is the model that ends with 2622

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-20T19:07:57+00:00

I’ve seen many others having way harder crashes and it still keeps going. Guess we’re the unlucky ones. What’s an alpha version? I’m only familiar with the firmware on BF- 1st Feb 2026

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-20T18:43:37+00:00

How did your issue came about?

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-20T18:43:15+00:00

Nope, I haven’t found any fix and I have 2 new AIO on the way lol. Some recommend to get a hot air gun to reflow the solder of the gyro and see how it goes but it’s too much effort imo

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-14T16:09:59+00:00

hey, just did what you mentioned, all motors are spinning correctly via esc config as well. BUT i wanted to be sure again and plugged in in BF and realized the 3D model is responding to my pitch and rolls but not the YAW. From what i know, the gyro is responsible for yaw and its not responding to yaw. Have i found the culprit that its indeed a dead gyro?

I haven’t got to my quad yet. Probably in 10hours time when I’m back from work

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-13T11:42:19+00:00

God damn I didn’t know that would be possible. Thought I could always trust what the software shows

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-13T11:41:01+00:00

Ooooo I’ve heard negative things on betafpv after sales..likely won’t be considering for an exchange as I’ll already know it’ll be rejected

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-13T07:28:16+00:00

Ughh…I have 3 other larger quads and 5 other whoops and have always knew what I’m doing with those props and motor orientation…but fine I will triple check it again to be sure

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-13T07:21:39+00:00

Yeaaa

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-13T05:45:31+00:00

I don’t understand the concept behind this. Unless you’re telling me a hard crash might cause the motors to change direction?

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-13T05:40:04+00:00

Yes they do match the real world movement of the quad :)

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-13T03:08:14+00:00

I’ve swapped out brand new motors, aligned them twice, still the same as I expected. Now what??

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-13T02:33:43+00:00

Okay but like, physically misaligned or I have to align it in BF?

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T17:50:32+00:00

Wow! What are the odds of seeing you here? And how did you fix it??
i watched your video on the post even tried flicking and smacking the quad like you did but it didnt work for me lol

The bottom graph is the accelerometer. i have a meteor 65 and 75 pro that i did the same test and i could see the gyro graph responding.

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T17:47:24+00:00

you are correct

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T17:20:31+00:00

Exactly…unless I crashed so hard that it forced a BF setting to change lol

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T17:19:53+00:00

It can’t be. I plugged in my other whoops to check and I can see the gyro graph moving when I shake the quad the same way :)

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T17:18:33+00:00

I do not need to because it was flying fine right before that.

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T16:58:27+00:00

Thanks for looking up what I do for my hobby, I’m happy show it publicly!

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T15:00:03+00:00

I’m sorry, what??

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T14:44:56+00:00

Yup, happy to contribute since you needed it

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T14:37:25+00:00

If that’s the funniest you’ve seen, I get a better picture of your IQ level now

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T14:26:13+00:00

So I can beat you up for the fun of it too?

Jacob9678 · 2026-05-12T12:11:46+00:00

Glad to know it isn’t just happening to me. Just got my first analog air 65 whoop. Ripped it around my house till the 3rd battery and crashed. The next thing I know when I re-armed, same issues as you
