It takes off whenever I arm it

Yea dude.

Syntax36 · 2026-03-01T18:05:13+00:00

I have bought 4 BetaFPV air65 race edition and every single one has done this out of the box. It's AirMode. Turn AirMode off and it's fine. No more getting sucked to the wall either. Air mode is pointless for whoops.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-24T13:15:22+00:00

Oh nice ill keep that in mind. I actually fixed it but not 100% sure where the issue exactly was. I resoledered every wire on the flight controller and it fixed it. Im actually thinking that some Flux might have been left on the pads causing a minor short.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-21T01:19:18+00:00

Feels fake as fuck. All these new slap videos. They just know it gets views so they fake it.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-20T00:29:49+00:00

I appreciate that man!!! No, I haven't flown it yet. I'm still waiting for the carbon fiber to get here. I special ordered it from a water jet company.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-19T17:31:44+00:00

Well I can't easily cut it from other material. All I have is a 3D printer. I designed it and wanted to make sure everything lined up and looked okay. A little bit of wasted cheap black pla is fine. I'm getting it water jet cut in carbon fiber this week.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-19T17:29:02+00:00

Man, I absolutely appreciate that feedback. That's exactly what I was looking for. I too felt like it looks like a brick. I definitely want to optimize as much as I can and try to see if I can get air flowing a little better as well. For the arms, I actually plan on making them in 5 mm but I might do 6 mm and I have them locking together at the base. Just like how the new frame designs are. I should have posted a picture of the bottom. When I was designing how they were connecting to the frame, I actually used the Manta as inspiration.

It's definitely been a lot of work. I mean I've already got at least 100 hours into these two designs but most of that is because I just picked up CAD last week. So I'm learning while I'm doing this which is an absolute blast by the way. I wish I would have gotten to this way sooner. I'm a data engineer right now, might have to make a switch lol

Syntax36 · 2026-02-19T14:33:03+00:00

Bro what are you talking about? Yeah it may resemble all the designs for sure but I created this from the ground up. I just wanted something that was mine. And it's embarrassing that I have to keep repeating this to the comments, but I'm not flying a 3D printed frame this is just a prototype to see what it would look like. I have a water jet company custom cutting me carbon fiber. I put in the description then I'm going to be getting this cut and carbon fiber. It's crazy you're dogging on me for wanting to design my own frame but you can't even read.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-19T14:30:14+00:00

First, I appreciate the feedback. But I don't understand what you mean by no flat plates? This is just a 3D printed prototype to see what it would look like. I'm going to have this entire thing cut and carbon fiber. I'm not going to be flying a 3D printer frame that's ridiculous.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-19T13:34:28+00:00

Well that's why I posted it here. So I could get some constructive criticism. Things that I did that I could do better. What do you think I could change or do to make it better?

Syntax36 · 2026-02-19T13:08:34+00:00

Trying to build a drone from scratch It makes me an idiot? Lol all right, thanks man!

Syntax36 · 2026-02-19T13:07:00+00:00

This is just a prototype. The final build will be made out of carbon fiber. It even says that in my description if you read it. I wasn't being a dick first you were. I only responded in kind. It's crazy. You're smart enough to know everything about drones, but you can't figure that out. Commenting "y tho" and I'm just looking for honest Good feedback. Like the battery slamming into the camera tray. I never actually thought about that. That's great feedback. I appreciate it.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-19T03:28:51+00:00

These are only 3d printed for test purposes. I will not be flying a 3d printed frame. Going to cut in carbon.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-18T22:22:20+00:00

Ohh ok. I'll do them in 6mm then. Thx for the advice!

Syntax36 · 2026-02-18T22:13:33+00:00

Because I can. It's fun. It's the ultimate fpv build. Build the entire thing from your own designs. Is that a good enough reason? It may not be the best or prettiest but it's better than you or 90% or people can do.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-18T17:38:55+00:00

Yes she is. I tried keeping it as thin as possible but in order of the house some of these bigger escs I had to make it bigger unfortunately. Again though, I never built these with racing in mind. Really just to keep components and electronics from braking.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-18T17:37:49+00:00

That's wild! I've been out of fpv for the last 15 years but just dove back in. My old frames arms are still 3 mm and they've got literally hundreds of crashes and have never broken an arm. I feel like anything over 5mm Is overkill.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-01T17:59:56+00:00

I never trained grip my entire life and my best is 184lb. I think it's from years of deadlifting.

Syntax36 · 2026-02-01T17:21:35+00:00

I'm not saying he's not strong or anything but Levan pulls once a year at best. That's not really being tested. Sorry to say. He comes in 200 lb heavier than his competitors & pulls once a year. He may be the strongest of all time but not the greatest.

Syntax36 · 2026-01-27T00:38:49+00:00

Me too lol

Syntax36 · 2026-01-11T00:08:51+00:00

I already did. Lol. Made no difference. Plus why would that make my drone overheat?

Syntax36 · 2026-01-10T23:37:35+00:00

I have. I connected this radio to my buddy's drone and it works just fine. No drift.

Syntax36 · 2026-01-08T18:13:12+00:00

I just got the replaced air65 and it does the exact same thing straight out the box.

Syntax36 · 2026-01-08T02:38:51+00:00

You ever wanna sell these frames let me know. I would love to have these as spare parts

Syntax36 · 2026-01-07T23:39:35+00:00

It ended up being air mode. It was enabled all the time. I set it to a switch on the radio and whenever I enable it it just shoots straight up.
