Spezi's Racewhoop 2024 - A maxed out 65mm Whoop with Custom design

After playing around a lot with 35mm props, especially on my Spezilicious frames, it's time to go back and spend time again on 31mm props.

So that's my maxed out whoop:


Specs:

  • Newbeedrone Cockroach Frame V3 Lite AF by weebleedfpv
  • 0702 40.000kv Motors by weebleedfpv
  • Betafpv Air Fc 5 in 1
  • Reny Screws
  • Gemfan Bi-blades 31mm
  • Fx17 Cam by happymodel
  • Spezilicious TPU Canopy (0.8g)
  • Mylipo 305 mah battery stick
    Weight: 16.2g ***

Some words about the design

The frame is white. I cleaned it with alcohol, dried it and sprayed it with 2k vehicle paint. It is important that you spray from a distance and only mist the frame. Since the frame is very flexible, a closed layer of paint would begin to break. It would also add weight. The frame as shown in the picture weighs just 0.02g more. The adhesion is good overall. Of course, something will flake off from time to time. But that's race patina :D

Some words about the Parts

It's no secret that 0702 with high kv harmonize very well with bi blades. I'm currently flying with an Motor output limit of 95% and feel very comfortable. The new 5 in 1 Betafpv Air Fc does a very good job and works out of the box as described. Only the stoke tune is absolutely for the trash can. But that's actually normal with most fcs. I took my own linear antenna to save 0.3 compared to the stoked one. You can save almost 0.2 grams on the Betafpv battery cable if you simply pull off the rubber at the back. (I don't give a shit about insulation on this place. I take the risk.) I also shortened the plastic on the sides. You can certainly get this build to 15.7-15.8g without any problem. To do this, I would switch to a Runcam nano and remove the camera connector from the FC. You could also save 0.1-0.2g with alternative camera mounts. However, I still wanted a robust whoop and am convinced of my TPU canopy. It also looks nice. Maybe I'll switch to the Runcam Nano 3 to get the 15,xx, but unfortunately I've run out of good ones from before 2021 :D
Thanks to webleed for providing the best parts.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
