Transcripts

all right so this video we're checking

out the beta fpv air 65 this is their

ultral light entry into the tiny web

space I did a video a while back on the

happy model ultral light the mulus 6

2024 this is 17.7 G I'll link this video

in the video description if you missed

that video um but they have well beta F

has now come up with their versions of

the ultral light and uh mine weigh 17

although in the marketing materials they

sent me it says it'll be 17.1 G um I'll

show you the weights here and scale a

little bit later in the video but yeah

they're both 17 G there's two versions

the one on the left here is the racing

version and the one on the right is the

freestyle version and I'll talk about

what the differences are here but uh

just wanted to note that yeah finally we

are going away from the one size fits

all you know before a new whoop mod

comes out and it is going to be for all

Pilots freestyle or racing whether you

like it or not and I'm glad to see that

beta FB is going away from that um they

made a model specifically tailored for

people that want to race and then they

have another model specifically tailored

for those that want to do freestyle so

let's talk about what's new and what is

different about these um so first off

we've seen all these parts except for

one in Pre previous videos and let me

just kind of Point what out what all

those ports are so we have the frame

this is their ultra light frame I've

done videos on that before the motors

are the 0702 SE Motors I've done videos

on that before as well and then the

canopy the ultral Light canopy they're I

think they're all Air branded so I knew

eventually a uh full bind and fly model

was going to come out but I went back

and forth with beta fpv on these models

quite a bit they sent me some prototypes

to test out and gave them some feedback

and this is ultimately what they've

ended up with the new part of course

here is the flight controller which is

what makes this so light and um well

they're they're calling this the air

flight controller um I have I'll I'll

show you what it looks like here they

have a um an un soldered model here so

this is what the flight controller looks

like uh get your rubber grommets and

screws for mounting get your antenna for

the VTX and they've got the

180° um battery connector of course BT

2.0 that's what they're famous for so I

also have done videos on this one this

one showed it before in previous video

this is the new part this is the one

that um makes this model so light and uh

it is 0.8 mm thick so very thin

PCB and it has the flight controller it

has the 41 ESC so there's uh four 5

amp's on here with uh blue J firmware it

has the VTX 25 to 400 m power switchable

but this one does not have the receiver

so the express all receiver they decided

to leave it out on this

board uh as you can see here it is

attached on top right there uh there's

some heat shrink around there and it is

this receiver you see before this is

their one with the flat antenna uh this

one and this was running the latest

Express lrs firmware this um flight

controller is running a new processor

it's a g

473 MCU which is a lot faster than the F

411s uh has more Arts as well they got

rid of the USB port and they're using

the um a t plug now which is a little

bit lighter than the metal Port uh but

then you need the extender and those are

included in the um in the full build so

this is the USBC to GST plug those are

included if you've seen some previous

videos on their the Pavo Pico Etc they

they've kind of gone to this plug on all

the their models just because it just

sheds some weight off of there and then

there's no motor plugs on these you have

to solder directly to the board but you

see the motor pads are pretty big on

here now um happy model made a diamond

shape board kind of like this a while

back but had some issues and they just

continue that and then they made this um

newer board the Super X I think is what

they call it which is as you can see it

is um um I guess Square shaped with some

curves on there and that one has the

receiver VTX flight controller all

together so the receiver is actually

built into that board however I've heard

that um they've had some issues with the

see the soer pads are really tiny on

that one had some issues with the uh

flight controller I guess burning up

when people sold her to them so they

there there's a new version of this

board out as the version 2.0 that have

the motor plugs soldered on from the

factory so um apparently that will

dissuade people from soldering directly

to the board can't apparently that will

cause the board to

fail uh so the version two has the motor

motor plugs on them uh directly whereas

the one I have on here which you're

seeing is a version one they soldered

these motors directly onto the pads but

what would happen is and people got

these models they would uh burn a motor

out then they put a new motor on solder

it on and then you know most people

aren't the best um skilled

solders and they would add basically too

much heat to the board which would fry

the uh little chips there which are the

mosfets for the the uh um esc's and

that's how these boards would fail so

they went to motor plugs in these so

there's a lot of trade-offs when going

with these really tiny Parts here and

dealing with um basically beginner level

people that don't know how to really

solder that well they have they have the

wrong equipment they're adding too much

heat not enough heat Etc and damaging

the boards when they work on them so

having these bigger pads here I think

helps mitigate that um but in order to

you know you cuz you only have so much

space to fit stuff on the board in order

to sort of get everything in here and um

have these larger pads they decide to uh

in this in this Le this initial

iteration of the air 65 so you have a

flight controller with a separate

Express LS receiver and I think that um

if you have say like if you if you want

to go with a different receiver like

free sky or Crossfire then you could do

that um because obviously it does not

have a built-in receiver so for those of

you that were looking for products that

don't have a built-in Express receiver

for whatever reason you hate Express RS

then yeah this is a nice way to go you

can actually get the uh version of this

without um well you could probably I

don't know if it actually comes without

expresss or not but maybe you could ask

them for a version without the receiver

and then add your own receiver so uh

anyway this is basically the key to

getting the weight down as much as

possible so here's the other side of the

board here so it does have the built-in

btx uh you know it's kind of interesting

the the the previous board had the

built-in receiver but it but the the VTX

would be on separately and that's what I

did in my my custom build like this is

from November of 2023 this is their old

5 amp board um and then the VTX they are

separate this year weighs 17.3 g but

it's not there's no canopy because it's

an inverted design so uh you know

obviously uh you can get the weight down

to around the 17 g mark fairly easily uh

in fact what I'm probably going to do is

take this board and build an inverted

version of this without the canopy cuz I

forget the we of the canopy but I could

probably get this pretty much well under

17 G and get even better performance

okay so what is different between these

two models so everything's the same

except for the motor KV and the props so

the uh freestyle version comes with the

HQ ultral light prop and if it was 703

SC motor but it's 23,000

KV and the race version comes with the

geman 129s prop so this is their ultral

light version of their prop but this

motor KV I believe is yeah this one is

27,000 KV so 4,000 KV more and honestly

I I couldn't get a clear answer from

them as to the reasons why they

chose uh the the prop and the KV the

motor for what they did but it makes

sense when you fly them so in terms of

flight characteristics on this one here

the the lower KV with this prop is this

is a I think a

slightly lighter prop than the jump van

so uh this has the lower K has a little

bit more torque and so when you're

flying this freestyle you have a little

bit more control uh in terms of like

what you want to do in terms of throttle

control plus when you're at Full

Throttle which you'll often be at Full

Throttle more often in freestyle when

you're trying to do like power loops and

other typ types of Tricks the um motor

the lower motor KV is actually better

because uh you don't have huge voltage

sags which is what you want to avoid now

when you have a racing you know setup

here with the higher KV with this prop

here I feel like it has a little bit

more grip in the turns which is better

for racing but uh this is definitely not

great for freestyle I did try to do some

freestyle with this and um whenever you

go Full Throttle it you get such so much

voltage sag that you end up not being

able to do the tricks um in the same way

you can with the freestyle version so um

definitely if you are more of a

freestyle flyer get the freestyle

version and vice versa cuz if you try

and get the one version and do the other

types of flying you'll find that the the

performance is not as great for that

type of flying and so get the one that

that the uh version is intended for

additionally uh they have different pit

tunes for the different versions the

race version has a different pit tune

from the freestyle version of course

that makes total sense and the tunes I

feel are really good for each type of

flying I didn't feel like I had any

control issues or kind of weird

oscillations or vibrations everything

seemed to work really well on the tunes

that they were sent with and I flew

these with the uh 300 milliamp lava

lipos from bpv with the uh BT 2.0

connector there is uh as you probably

guys know there's a 260 milliamp hour

version of this battery which is a

little bit shorter weighs 1.1 G less I

don't have those yet they are on the way

supposedly I I haven't received any

tracking information yet so I had to get

this video out on basically based on a

certain embargo time so I will have to

make another video later on that battery

on this setup here I'm wondering if the

pids might be different or might need to

be different for the lighter battery cuz

what you're going to probably end up

with on that battery is less flight time

of course and uh probably a lot better

performance but less flight time so uh

in terms of flight time on this battery

for each of these I got roughly 3

minutes of flight time uh coming down to

about 3.75 volts after the um after I

unplugged it so I always check the

voltage after I unplug and the voltage

recover to by 3.75 volts if you run this

these batteries all the way down to

where the uh whoop just falls out of the

sky I believe the voltage will cover

back to about 3.4 volts and it'll sag

below 3 volts like 2.9 volts um you

don't really get that much more flight

time if you do that and I'm not sure if

it's worth it to destroy your batteries

because if you keep doing that to these

batteries even though they are very

resistant to that kind of abuse uh you

do uh reduce the longevity of this

battery so just something to keep in

mind but you know if money is No Object

and you just want to destroy the

batteries and buy more by all means uh

go for that all right so here is the

weight of the racer version 17 G and the

weight of the freestyle version oh this

one's 17.1 G and then with the with the

batteries we're at 25.4 for the

freestyle and then the race version with

the battery is uh

25.4 oh in in case I forgot to mention

the camera is the same as the one from

the previous generation the CO3 I

believe is what it's called so no

difference there in terms of field of

view or image quality really only the

only big difference here is the F

controller that is the main uh reason

why this is so light and of course

they've add that you know external

Express L receiver and then they've

removed the USB port Now using that GST

plug and then you know um terms of the

the the the the right angled or the um

180° connector there I think it is

pretty much exactly the right length

unlike the mobula 6 it just goes in

there and then go ahead and plug it

in and you can see it's it's got enough

length there so the battery is not that

far forward and of course that maintains

that nice balance when you're flying all

right so anyway one last look around

around everything here's the bottom

there with the motor wires soldered

on and yeah I've had I've had many

crashes with this already it's done very

well none of the props have broke uh yet

and I I've cleaned off all the grass and

stuff that I landed in some grass wiped

all that off but it cleans up pretty

well it's holding up very well and

crashes so far and uh yeah I'll have

another video later on this one with the

260 m power light but whenever that

comes in and I'll have a whole video on

that one not sure if I'll put that on

the main Channel or the second Channel

but um I will have a video on that one

and give you my thoughts on that but

overall pretty happy with these um if

you're a eracer definitely check it out

if you're a freestyler definitely check

out this one think you're going to find

the performances are pretty good for

that type of flying for a tiny whop of

course keep in mind it is still a tiny

whoop and hopefully uh we'll see this

trend continue where the weight keeps

going down um I'd like to see 16 G tiny

whoops in bind and flies if possible you

know could be could be done I think if

they make a version of this with the

without the canopy make it inverted um

you know get you know you can use the uh

plastic screws instead of the metal

screws Etc you know maybe come up with a

new version of the flight controller

with the built-in Express lever receiver

maybe a lighter camera um there's ways

you can shave weight off of here even

more so perhaps sometime down the road

later in 2024 we'll see a 16 G version

of this one but 17 GS is the lightest I

think in terms of a pre-built tiny whoop

and um yeah links will be down in the

video description if you want to check

it out what I'll do for this video talk

to you guys in the next one
