BETAFPV Air65 II Brushless Whoop Quadcopter 65mm 1S | ELRS 2.4G RX, 5.8G VTX 25-400mW

Overview

The BETAFPV Air65 II is a 65mm brushless whoop quadcopter built for 1S performance with three purpose-tuned versions: Champion, Racing, and Freestyle. Each version pairs dedicated 0702 brushless motors with matched propellers, and uses the Matrix 1S 5IN1 II flight controller featuring an integrated 12A ESC and a 3-point mounting structure designed to improve crash resilience.

Specifications

Three Propulsion Systems

Air65 II is offered in Champion, Racing, and Freestyle versions. Each version uses 0702 brushless motors (2026) with a 0.1mm stator core and version-specific magnetic/winding design. All versions use the Matrix 1S 5IN1 II flight controller with a 12A continuous (18A peak) ESC to support high surge currents.

Champion

Weight: 16.6g. Frame: 2.20g Air65 Champion Frame. Motors: Champion 0702 (36000KV) with dual-ball bearings. Props: GF 1207 3-Blade. Thrust-to-weight ratio: 6.3:1. The Champion version uses an unsoldered Matrix 5IN1 II FC.

Racing & Freestyle

Racing: Racing 0702 (30000KV) + GF 1207 3-Blade props. Freestyle: Freestyle 0702 (25000KV) + GF 1219S 3-Blade props.

Durability and Crash Test Data

The Matrix 1S 5IN1 II FC uses a 3-point mounting system designed to create cushioning space during impacts, reducing stress on core components and lowering the damage rate by up to 80%. The FC also uses a 1.0mm thickened PCB and an optimized layout to improve crash resilience. All versions use the Air II Canopy with upgraded materials and reinforcements; Racing and Freestyle use the Air65 II Frame, while Champion uses the Air65 Champion Frame.

Crash test method

Each unit was accelerated 5 meters in a straight line at level flight throttle and crashed horizontally into a wall. Image transmission, OSD, and receiver signals were monitored after each impact. The test concluded after 20 crashes or upon observed failure.

Crash test results

Engineering note: removing the front rubber grommet reduced stress transfer to the flight controller, lowering the risk of crash-related FC damage by approximately 80% in the Air65, with negligible impact on flight performance. Air65 II integrates a 3-point mounting system with the Matrix 1S 5IN1 II’s 1.0mm PCB and internal reinforcements for improved resilience.

Details

The BETAFPV Air65 II brushless whoop features a 65mm ducted frame design and a listed lightweight 17.8g build with a 12A ESC and new props.

BETAFPV Air65 II Champion pairs a lightweight ducted frame with 0702 (36000KV) motors and GF 1207 3-blade props for fast indoor racing builds.

BETAFPV racing and freestyle setups pair 0702 motors (30000KV or 25000KV) with matching GF 3-blade prop options for different flight styles.

BETAFPV Matrix 1S 5in1 II brushless FC combines FC, ESC, VTX, RX, and OSD with 3-point mounting and a 12A continuous ESC.

Customer poll feedback for the BETAFPV Air65 shows durability improvements are the top request, with 51% citing crash damage to the OSD, receiver, and gyro.

Crash impacts can transfer force into the canopy PCB or bend the frame into the flight controller board, potentially damaging RX and OSD components.

BETAFPV offers Racing, Champion, and Freestyle configurations to match aggressive response, top speed, or smoother agile handling.

The BETAFPV micro quadcopter comes with spare props, mounting hardware, and small tools to help with setup and maintenance.

The BETAFPV micro whoop kit includes the ducted quad along with spare propellers, screws, and a small tool for setup and repairs.

The BETAFPV micro whoop package includes the ducted quad, branded box, mounting hardware, a small tool, and basic documentation.
