I bought the aquila16 a Month ago I really Liked it at the Beginning because in n-mode practically anyone can fly It. However after taking It Outside i immediatly realize the camera isnt the best when going from Bright to shadows you are blind during the day. So i got a Gofilm20 with Goggles L but i only flew it twice because Its really really cold Outside. Now i want to practicse acro mode more so i Just ordered a tinywhoop Air65 TL;Dr Aquila16 RTF Kit Pros: Easy to fly, very durable, cheap parts, actually good fly time 8mins Totally doable with 1100mAh Cons: is Not the Most agile,camera in Low light conditions, gets tossed by the Wind Outside. Conclusion: Its okay for your Entry to FPV If You dont want to build and have 0 Equipment and dont want to Figure Out what is what. Thats how It was for me I First Had no clue Other than i want to try fpv Then i flew and within a week interest became bigger and Ou start to look up Videos What is this why use that What is the best package rate etc Aquila16 can make you addicted and interested in more I have 3 sims but If you ask me theyre boring compared to real flying So far each of them (lift Off, lift Off Micro drones, DRL) has less than 10 hours in my library

Aquila16 is not a trash Drone Its not outdoor 5" freestyle Drone for Sure But its very good at giving noobs an easy Entry which, in my opinion is its own reason to exist I have ordered the 2025 Version of the Air 65 They have changed the canopy so that some things dont immediatly come of the FC in a Crash Meteor65 hs Air 65 i havent seen a Big difference except for price

Many thanks for this Tips I have tried a powerloop and actually Made It with the aquila16 Outdoors but you feel It cannot do It to often neither its graceful, i will Put It on a Switch as you Said when my tinywhoop arrived For my Gofilm20 im too scared to adjust anything, afterall i cannot complain how that one flies

I started on aquila16 about 2 months ago and harvested motors almost immediately, trash drone and batteries are useless. Just get a meteor 75 or 65, not the air unless you know your willing to solder. I started with 0 sim time and only have about 10 hours in, i also dont care if i break my drones flying them so i do break allot. Buildings half the fun for me

It has a special firmware idk if its cuz the optiflow sensor needs it or what i believe you can tweak it with software from betafpvs site, lol its the same cable i believe as the new airs so the cables usefull. Its on there website that it doesnt work with betaflight. I used to say the same thing you did and stuck up for it, maybe it did help me learn faster but idk waste of $300 for me tho everythings been replaced and i think i could have learned fine with a air75 the more i think about the 6 lipos in a box i wasted money on tho the more i feel scammed.
