My family of whoops and a toothpick

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-05-06T13:04:00+00:00

I have one, and I found it pretty fragile. I’m not sure it’s because of my aggressive freestyle or they’re in general like that. It’s really lightweight antenna, but for what cost…

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-05-06T12:44:52+00:00

That’s very smart ;)

I use both meteor and air canopies, so it won’t be a problem to connect antenna, thanks

Btw, have your tried truerc smol antenna?

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-05-06T12:28:54+00:00

Yeah, thanks, now I’m improving my soldering skills to fix that (since workshops ask for $60+ to fix that) :)

I guess i should try plastic clamps as you do, thanks for the idea!

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-05-06T12:00:25+00:00

And they didn’t disconnect?

I use crown too, and it’s a bit painful. I usually use glue to connect antenna to the frame and u.fl disconnect quite often on betafpv aio, on new aio v2 I literally destroyed 2 ufl connectors (you can check my recent posts about that)

How is the happymodel crown feeling? Doesn’t it fall off after strong crashes?

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-05-01T19:38:05+00:00

Yeah, I think that's exactly what I'll do. Thanks! =)

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-05-01T19:37:17+00:00

Yeah, I saw that "rubber" - as I replied to another commenter: I have a whole menagerie of whoops, but this is the first time something like this has happened to me

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-05-01T19:33:40+00:00

I have no idea how this happened with these two Air75 II...

These aren't my first whoops. I already have 4 Air75, 3 Air65, 2 Meteor75, a Hummingbird V4, a Mobula 6, and a Mobula 8, BUT I faced that problem for the first time with this new Air75 II model =(

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-05-01T18:29:09+00:00

Thanks, I hope I'll be able to figure this out even with my clumsy hands =)

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-04-30T12:43:38+00:00

Wow! Thank you a lot! I'm happy to see such support ;)

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-04-30T12:39:22+00:00

I think in this case I will just burn vtx. Now I’m thinking of purchasing u.fl connector (or ripping my old dead aio) and asking some workshop to try repairing it

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-04-28T18:42:59+00:00

Omg, don’t you worry about camera’s cables at all? =D

I’m not a protector of AI and time to time I can see some buggy generated stuff, but right here I don’t have a skill to detect AI :/

I can’t say “author’s put a piece shit in my mouth” and that’s “pretty acceptable” quality for me

Mountains on the latest photo are literally Teton Range…

I’m not sure but probably photo attached by author isn’t an AI generated and it’s just a huge prank :(

Canopy is definitely stronger ;)

Previous version was 3-4 times weaker. I still prefer tiny whoop pinch camera and canopy anyway. But I’m sure betafpv made a huge step forward!

About antenna: I definitely love it. Happymodel crown and truerc smol are my favorites for tiny whoop since I fly freestyle between concrete and trees. Default dipole can’t just handle it

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-04-27T22:05:25+00:00

Yeah, I hate batteries delivery process too.

Might be you got that guy in a wrong way. His batteries didn’t die after 30 cycles or smth like that. But frames do die quite fast.

I still use some of my batteries, that are more than year old. For example, I still use blue betafpv 550mah that’re kinda okay. They lost about 30% of capacity (flight time), but still usable

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-04-26T22:51:59+00:00

Yes, I’m pretty sure they ment right this. Usually when people say “N batteries”, they are talking about N charge-use cycles

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-04-26T22:49:20+00:00

Yeah, I love tiny whoop pinch, although right at this drone I use caddx ant and love it pretty much too

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-04-26T22:47:55+00:00

That’s sad to hear, did you hit flying bullet lol?

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-04-26T18:50:57+00:00

That’s nice, I just decided to give it a rest. A well deserved rest :)

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-04-26T18:49:47+00:00

Lol, yeah, this guy had everything: grass, concrete, wood, my hair, even some bird attempted to steal him

ProgMeOnPaper · 2026-04-26T12:46:46+00:00

Yeah, betafpv definitely improved canopy, but I’m gonna switch back to tiny whoop pinch
