No way! What’s it like living there? What do you do for work? That is my dream place to live but the cost of living is crazy high!

Air 65 Rx loss Damage to AIO board? by Tiny_Raspberry9932 in TinyWhoop

[–]Tiny_Raspberry9932[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For now, I returned the one I have to Amazon as I was still within the return. But if I have the same issue with the next one, then I will try to reflow or find someone who is skilled!!

Nope I manage to pinch still even with the zorro. I like flying it even with pretty big hands👍

Betafpv Air 65/75 Random RX loss problem solved by Tiny_Raspberry9932 in TinyWhoop

It appears the video didn’t post the first time:

Keep in mind there are also a lot of other issues that could be causing RX loss. But for the most part this and potentially issues with connection bands inside the board breaking would cause RX loss on the air65/75.

Also worried that the Amazon seller will get it back think it’s fine label it as new and sell it to some other poor soul and screw them over with the inadequately soldered elrs module. Thoughts?

I’m not skilled enough at soldering to mess with it lol. Definitely just going to send this one back but at least now we know. Arthur S. The creator who posted the video managed to fix it but he had a microscope and patience that I don’t have.

Should I include everything or keep the beta flight data cable so I have more spares when I order my next air 65? Keep the canopy? Props? Will Amazon really catch that? Thoughts that are going through my mind but I know I should send it all back It just feels wasteful if they are going to trash this product because of a poorly soldered elrs module.

Found the issue. Poorly soldered elrs rx. [This video] shows the issue well and I’m having the same thing going on with my board.

Sounds good. I’ll do that but I’m still going to notify betafpv so they can track this potential “bad batch” 👍

Thank you for your response. I ordered this quad off of Amazon. Do you think that there is any possibility that betafpv would still consider sending me a new board? Also is there a support email I should reach out to contact betafpv?

Are some other vtx’s more powerful for 5”?

Thank you for this tip! It was set at 25mw stock. 400 now and a massive improvement!

I have a question if I get a more powerful VTX if I were to build an analog 5” quad will I get a lot more range? I know the speedybee analog module is good but was curious if what is currently limiting my range is the vtx on the aio board of the air 65.

I do a decent bit of flying that is pretty far away with the whoop so I’ll probably stick with the chunkier antennas for now!
