Air65 Frame
To enhance the flying experience, DIY enthusiasts have diligently worked on reducing the weight of the 65mm whoop drones, especially frames for an ultra-light structure. We upgraded the Meteor65 Micro Frame to the Air65 Frame, which achieves a remarkable weight lighter from 3.64g to 2.67g. It maintains exceptional strength and durability while introducing a new motor fixed slot, and optimizing a low-profile design. Having 6 color choices, it indisputably emerges as the top topgallant choice for pilots seeking an unparalleled ultra-light Sub18g 65mm 1S Whoop drone and personality.
