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.

Note: Due to the shortage of IMU chip ICM42688, BETAFPV team has found new IMU chips including ICM42622, LSM6DSV16X and LSM6DSK320X, and built compatible firmwares. Extensive testing confirms they all meet our strict quality standards.

Betaflight has not yet released official firmwares compatible with some of the IMU chips, so please do not flash the official Betaflight firmware and pay attention to future support updates.

Specifications

Three Propulsion Systems

Engineered for next-gen performance, the Air65 II is offered in three distinct versions: Champion, Racing, and Freestyle. Each is defined by purpose-built 0702 brushless motors, featuring a revolutionary 0.1mm stator core and a specific magnetic/winding design. To power these demanding setups, all versions are equipped with the Matrix 1S 5IN1 II Flight Controller, featuring a robust 12A continuous (18A peak) ESC to meet high surge currents.

Champion

The Champion version returns as the flagship model, built for pure, professional-grade racing. Weighing only 16.6g, it features the exclusive 2.20g Air65 Champion Frame and the unsoldered Matrix 5IN1 II FC. Equipped with dual-ball bearing Champion 0702 Motors (36000KV) and lightweight GF 1207 3-Blade Props, it achieves an impressive 6.3:1 thrust-to-weight ratio for maximum acceleration and track dominance.

Racing & Freestyle

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. The Freestyle version is equipped with Freestyle 0702 Motors (25000KV) and GF 1219S 3-Blade Props. Optimized for smooth control and superior low-throttle torque, it enables fluid, cinematic flying.

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.

To develop an effective solution, our R&D team evaluated multiple design approaches.  Tests indicated that removing a rubber grommet could significantly improve impact protection. To validate this finding, we executed a systematic crash test protocol, comparing the new configuration directly against previous designs.

• Air Whoops Tested:

1. Air65 (Air 5IN1 FC): With 4 rubber grommets.
2. Air65 (Air 5IN1 FC): With the front rubber grommet removed.
3. Air65 II (Matrix 1S 5IN1 II): With the front rubber grommet removed.
4. Air75 II (Matrix 1S 5IN1 II): With the front rubber grommet removed.

• 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.

• Test Results:

• The Engineering Solution:

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.
 

Precision-Tuned Flying Experience

Every component, from the motor and propeller combination to the flight controller parameters, is meticulously calibrated for each version. This results in three distinct flying characters: the smooth, efficient Freestyle, the razor-sharp Racing, and the max-power Champion—ensuring an optimized experience for every pilot and environment.
