BetaFPV Air65 II Brushless Whoop Quadcopter - Racing Version

Engineered for the next generation of 1S performance, the Air65 II redefines the balance of power and resilience. At its core, a specialized propulsion system offers three distinct configurations—Champion, Racing, and Freestyle—each tuned with specific motor and propeller combinations for optimized thrust, response, and control. This precision-tuned power is matched by a rugged, purpose-built design, featuring the durable Matrix 5IN1 II Flight Controller with a high-output 12A ESC and a reinforced frame & canopy crafted to withstand repeated impacts. Built to deliver relentless performance in every flying style, the Air65 II is the ultralight whoop designed to dominate.

Racing

The Racing version features Racing 0702 Motors (30000KV) paired with GF 1207 3-Blade Props. This combination delivers higher RPMs and razor-sharp throttle response for agility on technical race courses.

Durability

Flight Controller

The Matrix 1S 5IN1 II FC employs a 3-point mounting system that creates cushioning space during impacts, reducing stress on core components and lowering the damage rate by up to 80%. Its 1.0mm thickened PCB and optimized layout further enhance crash resilience.

New Canopy & Frame

All versions feature the crash-resistant Air II Canopy with upgraded materials and strategic reinforcements. The Racing and Freestyle models use the durable Air65 II Frame, while the Champion employs the ultra-light Air65 Champion Frame, both designed with optimized ducts and impact-absorbing PP material to withstand brutal crashes.

Community Feedback

In direct response to valuable discussions within the FPV community regarding the durability of Air 5IN1 FC, we conducted a poll across the Tiny Whoop and BETAFPV Facebook groups. The results were clear: over 50% of pilots prioritized improved crash resilience in the Air Series. This feedback became our central design goal for the Air65 II.

The data was conclusive: removing the front rubber grommet dramatically 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. We took this further in the Air65 II by fully integrating a 3-point mounting system. When combined with the new Matrix 1S 5IN1 II’s 1.0mm thickened PCB and internal reinforcements, the result is a significantly more resilient whoop.
