BETAFPV - Air75

betafpv air75. 65 will be hard to fly outside when theres wind

Get the air75. U can fly it better outside. Its fun to fly it around inside too. Sure, the 65 will make it feel like u have more space compare to when flying air75. But what u can do is too throttle cut the air75 to around 75-80% so its not as "strong" compare to when its at 100%. Try it, its fun https://preview.redd.it/8qg6d1mf0qoe1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1950a28c4ddb20c8589495e1bda494b46b79fb80 I fly this air75 around the legs lol

5 inc drones are terrifying to fly for a beginner. I got a Nazgûl eco for my first fpv drone and I crashed 4 times on my first day and couldn’t remotely hold an altitude. And that’s with 9 hours in a simulator. Several months later I got an air 75 (although if I could choose again I would get the 65) and I have put way more hours into it than my 5 inch. You may want a lot of power and stuff, but for learning, a tiny whoop will get you more hours and make you better at flying for a newbie.

Bnf kits are trash. Get the air75 drone eachine 800d goggles radiomaster pocket for remote and woopstar charger 550mah 1s lipo.

as a first drone id go with a betafpv air 65 (indoor focused) or an air 75 (slightly larger for outdoors) with a radiomaster pocket (ELRS variant) and ev800d goggles. 300mah or 450mah 1s batteries for the 65 or 75 respectfully. and a whoopstor 1s charger

You are going to have trouble flying anything without protected props inside. Even a tiny air75 is a lot for inside without a lot of practice. I would build a nice 3inch for outside and get a tiny 66mm whoop for inside. Trust me, I csn fly knsude, flips, rolls racing etc. But just moving up to a 75mm will send me into the walls. A 75 or 85 mm would also work outside. 85mm like a mobula8 is 2inch protected props.

The betafpv air75 are nice and cheap and work great. Newbeedrone make great 75mm as well. Mobula7 is a bit old now. Just scale the throttle when inside, should be fine.

Neo is too big and heavy for indoors. Air65 or Air75 is a better choice. And even then, instead or risking bumping it into stuff inside, better to go to a soccer field or something and fly it outside.

I also have a lot of experience flying 3d helis. I found that flying first person is totally different. As soon as you put the goggles on and loose sight of the drone, you’ll freak out. At least I did. I can fly the drone line of sight all day long. Flying first person was is a bit more difficult for me. I’d get a tiny whoop and a simulator. I’d pass on anything larger than a tiny whoop.

Yes, crashes! and running into bushes. The only problem I've had is that I crashed it into some dirt and had to disasemble one of the motors to get the dirt out. Some wear on the Air75 prop from getting into bushes. Otherwise, they still fly!

1. That's a very broad question but since you specified racing it narrows it down a bit. 1. Analog and HDZero are the best video system options for racing. 2. It's often recommended to start small. The Air 65/75 and Meteor 65/75 tinywhoops from BetaFPV are fun to fly and relatively cheap and durable. 2. Most RTF kits like those from BetaFPV are not recommended. Their controllers and goggles are very cheap. Getting a BNF drone ( bind and fly ) and pairing it with a quality controller and pair of goggles is usually a better option. 3. You can easily get an analog setup including batteries and charger within this budget. HDZero goggles alone are $650 so that is not an option for you - yet. 4. Start with a controller and simulator! 1. Find some drone racing events near you. See what kind of drones they are flying and get to know the community. Most events are very friendly and welcoming of newbies.
