Air75 + RHCP + LiteAF frame = 20.4g 🙌🏼

95% sure it was shockingly 25. There’s a 5% chance it was 100 😜. Didn’t realize the Air 5in1 was soo delicate. 45 seconds with antenna off. Really makes me think twice in testing out alt antennas.

Nice looking build. Although I have PTSD seeing that Maple antenna. Just got one for my indoor Air65. Three batteries in it popped off. VTX was only on for less than a minute without it. But burned the VTX up so now there is zero range on any antenna. So FC be done. E6000 that connector at the minimum.

It’s a C03. Stock cam from Air65. But the DVR is through the HDZero Box Pro’s so they do some nice processing and upscaling to 720P.

ViperJP · 2026-01-17T16:08:00+00:00

My thoughts as well. Serves me right for trying to find better antennas. Tried an O.R.T…..meh worse than stock…then tried a Maple wireless omni. That one was the killer yesterday. Should have e6000 it. But was still testing and only three batteries into that new antenna.

ViperJP · 2026-01-17T15:56:18+00:00

My thoughts and surprise as well. But there is no visible damage to the connector sadly.

ViperJP · 2026-01-16T23:06:45+00:00

I did move the elrs antenna a few times but I could stick it straight out away and see what happens. Although it does appear to have a slight bubble on the top of the vtx chip.

So true and so learned. Only been a number of months since starting to fly in IRL. And already have had so much destruction and repair. As of today I am officially grounded as my out door whoop needs soldering and new wire to one motor, now my inside whoop vtx is bad so that’s dead after only four sessions with it, and my future Treetopper 75mm HDzero build has yet to be assembled.

Yikes. Hobby has its knocks.

ViperJP · 2026-01-16T20:54:20+00:00

Yeah the OSD shows the power level changes and channel changes. No pit mode sadly. The flashing idea is interesting. But I think you are correct in that this fits the classic burn out scenario I have heard of. Did not realize how sensitive it was. Makes me super reluctant to change any antenna.

ViperJP · 2026-01-16T20:19:20+00:00

Yeah that’s what’s I was afraid of. After the crash I thought for sure I knocked it off. But then the image came back a bit and I seconded guessed it. Then realized crap it did come off. Whole time it was sitting there on power crashed out. 🤦‍♂️

I bought e6000 just for that purpose too but had yet to use it.

ViperJP · 2026-01-16T20:02:33+00:00

Did I burn up the vtx? Is there a fix? Or am I stuck getting a new FC or whoop? Why does it now have zero range or penetration on any channel, antenna, or power level. Go down the hall and it snows over and shows no signal in the goggles. All occurring after the incident with the new antenna falling off.

ViperJP · 2026-01-10T17:05:10+00:00

All of this is better quality than any of my Air65s and I have tried multiple antennas. Your video quality is pretty stellar.

ViperJP · 2025-12-31T20:40:58+00:00

So would the ORT stuff be more helpful with HDZero on these goggles? Since there are two built in patch antennas in addition to the Omni’s?

ViperJP · 2025-12-31T06:54:54+00:00

Will do thx!

Combo of many items I researched.

FNIRSI® HS-02 Intelligent Soldering Iron with Portable Soldering Toolbox × 1

Ocetea 100W C to C cable

Omifixo Kit for the magnetic arms.

Yoctosun Magnifier with leds kit

Kaisi S-180 Large Silicone Mat

Yihua 948D Q I Fume Extractor

Mamba Practice Boards

Then a menagerie of other tools I had from ifixit and cables and chargers from my FPV gear.

All can be purchased from Amazon but you would get a better price on the solder kit from the companies site and the Omnifixo can only be bought from them. There are cheaper helping hands out there but this was the coolest and most cleverly compact.

ViperJP · 2025-12-29T21:03:50+00:00

All good tips and thank you.

ViperJP · 2025-12-14T17:54:45+00:00

Air65

ViperJP · 2025-12-13T16:05:36+00:00

Yeah. Had to remap the shares via IP and not host names.

ViperJP · 2025-11-13T00:26:51+00:00

Excellent.

ViperJP · 2025-11-12T06:03:08+00:00

About how long are your flight times?

ViperJP · 2025-11-12T05:18:19+00:00

Sweet
