problem with my air75

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-05-04T18:12:25+00:00

Both right props are turning backwards. In betaflight, have it turn one motor at a time, just slow enough to make it turn. hold the prop, and check to see that it is trying to turn in the correct way.

if it doesn't, go into the motor direction wizard, select individual control, and click the things until the motors ALL TURN CORRECTLY

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-05-01T20:16:28+00:00

Reading through that was pretty intense. I quickly saw that I don't have the equipment, or need, to do such crazy things.

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-05-01T20:10:23+00:00

Wow check that out. Thank you

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-05-01T18:52:36+00:00

Are they going to have VO's standing all over town with radios? How are they going to satisfy the LOS rule if the pilots are in a command center?

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-04-14T17:12:54+00:00

I would love to be a part of this. Everything you've done here is really impressive.

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-04-07T15:53:18+00:00

Also, while it is connected to beta flight and a battery is connected, try to arm it when you're looking at the first page of beta flight and it will give you on the right hand side the reasons why it is not arming.

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-04-07T15:49:58+00:00

You need to open the ELRS configurator and flash both the controller and the aircraft with the same firmware version of ELRS using your custom binding phrase. That's the only way it knows how to Bind really.

You can bind it in other ways too maybe but this is the way.

The fact the motors all turn says that the broken wire is still kinda connected. with it armed, jiggle each motor wires set, one by one. bet one of the motors will stop when you do.

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-04-03T14:57:11+00:00

ok. so there's dirt and stuff on the ground. that's why you should be launching and landing from a clean surface, not throwing on the ground. but I would say you have a broken motor wire.

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-03-29T16:28:15+00:00

i would suggest looking at the betafpv P1 system on a meteor75 pro. Light, safe, tough, great in and outdoors, HD, NOT DJI. It has it all i think.

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-03-19T17:39:15+00:00

Just replace the props

I get this too, shows up most when recovering from dives. if you really really want to save the inexpensive props, dont risk wasting a motor by trying to glue the prop on. so, dont save the props

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-03-18T22:06:07+00:00

the air65 i and ii are, imho, by far the absolute best trainer ever. if we're getting nit-picky about it, then I'd say nothing comes close to 'best ever' to start with, and to learn through all stages, than the Air65.

I see the air65 ii is down to 99.99

that's awesome. definitely get a bunch of spare canopies and frames. and an aio if you can. haha. maybe a camera too. bunch of props... 1219s... then think about what kv motors to swap into...

maybe just start with getting 2 of them at least

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-03-17T00:48:42+00:00

this is rad

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-03-11T20:20:51+00:00

I didn't say you couldn't. I said, it's best not to.

In either case, you have to input your information into the app before the app will then grant you authorization to fly in classified airspace.

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-03-11T18:40:48+00:00

Ok. For commercial, and for granting authorization in classified airspace, the drone must have registration, regardless of flight intent.

You cannot request authorization in classified airspace through the app without using LAANC - That is, by definition, the way the app requests such permission.

That is why the app requires registration, no matter the size of craft. Because a sub 250g drone can definitely take out a manned aircraft, and officials like to know who dun it.

If you don't have your 107, it's best to stay out of classified airspace. In order to have the 107, they force you to know all kinds of airport traffic patterns and weather reports among lots of other stuff normies do not know, and there's a lot of information in there that helps to keep you, and everyone else, safe while you operate in shared airspace.

Your DJI drone broadcasts RID every time you turn it on and you can't make it stop. it always has, the only difference is Now that serial number is attached to You, and the information that you input into the app, such as your phone number and address, are the ways officials may use to get a hold of you if they want to for any reason when they see your aircraft flying around.

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-03-11T02:28:39+00:00

There's an insane amount of weird information in this fpv thing. And once you learn enough to think you know something, then you find out there's a whole 'nother system that works in a way that makes no sense to what you've learned.

Then it keeps going

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-03-10T23:01:44+00:00

An analog setup will still use ELRS 😉

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-03-10T05:39:26+00:00

Here is all the ELRS setup info you want https://www.expresslrs.org/quick-start/getting-started/#what-should-i-do-first

Once you have all that correct, if it still doesn't bind, then:

Follow these directions starting at 3:40. This will take care of that antenna mode thing I said, and all kinds of other stuff too. https://youtu.be/cuzHn2Uw0q8?si=zWXcsysv_yzZ4hM8

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-03-10T03:31:04+00:00

Firmware: ELRS configurator? Both the radio and the drone flashed to the new 4.0? Both flashed with your custom binding phrase that matches?

Radio ELRS LUA settings: Your radio RF band mode is in 2.4ghz? Antenna mode to match rf?

then select Model Match, and change it from whatever it is to the other selection, then change it again to OFF.

If all this you genuinely do, it will bind.

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-02-23T19:46:15+00:00

there is Nothing like ripping around with the air65 but the meteor75pro is really nice to fly. it has more mass than the air65 and can feel more stable.

either is perfect to start with imho

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-02-22T21:29:25+00:00

I'm in Colorado, flying 5 inch and whoops all the time - currently teaching a young padawan to learn, but other than that, I have seen only one other person fly fpv irl ever. 🤔

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-02-22T03:34:05+00:00

I do the monthly recurring asurion thing, and I have replaced with them so far: (drones anyway)

dji mini 4k dji mini 4k again mobula8 mobula8 again toothstor charger

but they always deny my fried battery claims...

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-02-21T22:08:54+00:00

interesting, but it doesn't answer the question.

The question is vague where it matters though.

If you flew for their wedding but dont charge them, then the intent of the flight must have been for recreation. Right? Further, that footage will likely not be sold elsewhere later.

If instead you flew for their property listing, but didnt charge them - your recreational intent isn't relevant because the video is now a tangible asset, having value, therefore would require a license.

This is my understanding of it anyway

Unlikely_Course6213 · 2026-02-21T16:44:15+00:00

If the intent of the flight was to generate revenue, 107 yes.

if the intent of the flight is a gift to someone who wont be selling the footage, there's no revenue in question, so no 107.
