369DRONE Air65 Whoop Quadcopter-Racing,ELRS 2.4G Review
Brushless whoop from BETAFPV with a 65mm wheelbase and a listed weight of 17.3g, carrying an onboard ELRS 2.4GHz receiver and a 5.8GHz VTX (25mW-400mW). The listing describes it as a 1S indoor racing build. Listed at $105 as a single option.

Our verdict
A 65mm whoop with the flight controller, receiver and VTX named on the page, for someone who wants a complete 1S indoor racing build as the listing presents it and who will check the battery and radio separately, since the listing names neither as included. Look elsewhere if you need a different wheelbase or a listing that states what comes in the package. The main caveat is that the listing says flight time is approx. 4 minutes with LAVA 260mAh and calls the build agile and fast, and these are the maker's own claims.
- Best for
- A pilot who wants a complete 65mm whoop that the listing describes as a 1S indoor racing build with an onboard ELRS receiver.
- Skip if
- You need a listing that says whether a battery or a radio transmitter is included, or a wheelbase other than 65mm.

Options and pricing
There is one variant at $105, so no option changes the price. The table is for the Racing Version and gives a 65mm wheelbase, a 17.3g weight and a BT2.0 U Cable Pigtail battery connector. The recommended battery is LAVA 1S 260mAh / 300mAh, and the listing does not say that a battery is included. The listing also says it can be customized with many frames, canopies and propellers, but gives no list of them.
How it compares
The Air65 II Brushless Whoop Frame is $4 and lists PP material, a 2.65g weight and a 65mm wheelbase, so it is a frame alone and does not replace this $105 drone. This drone's table names the Air65 Frame, not the II version. The HDZero Whoop V2 VTX is $62 and lists 5.725-5.850 GHz with a U.FL connector, a separate video transmitter, while this drone lists an onboard 5.8GHz VTX (25mW-400mW).
Shipping and processing
- Processing. The store's shipping policy says every order, including orders placed through the Shop app, ships from its warehouse in Japan and is dispatched within 1-3 business days after payment is confirmed (checked 2026-11-11).
- Shipping cost. The policy gives a flat 800 JPY inside Japan and 5,000 JPY to eligible countries for parcels up to 2 kg, and gives no rate for heavier parcels. It does not list the eligible countries; the store's country selector offers the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, and the terms of service reserve the right to limit sales to any region, so the checkout is the final test. At the rate the store used for US prices when we looked (about 0.00642 USD per JPY), 5,000 JPY is about $32; the checkout shows the exact amount.
- Duties and taxes. The policy says import duties, taxes and customs clearance fees are not included in the price or the shipping cost, are charged to the recipient by the carrier (it names DHL, FedEx and Japan Post) and are outside the store's control. It declares the full value of the goods on customs papers and cannot mark a parcel as a gift or declare less. A parcel held for unpaid duties is not delivered, and if the carrier sends it back the return shipping is deducted from any refund.
- Tracking. A tracking number is issued once the parcel ships. For international parcels it can take a few days to show up, and it can change when the parcel is handed from one carrier to another.
Returns and warranty
- Returns. The store's refund policy gives 30 days after receiving an item to request a return. The item must be in the condition received, unworn or unused, with tags and in its original packaging, and you need the receipt or proof of purchase. Use the contact page first: if the return is accepted the store sends a return shipping label and instructions, and items sent back without a request are not accepted. The policy does not say who pays the return shipping on a change-of-mind return. Refunds go to the original payment method within 10 business days after the store has received and inspected the item (checked 2026-11-11).
- Not returnable. The refund policy lists custom products (special orders and personalized items), perishable goods, personal care goods, hazardous materials, flammable liquids and gases, sale items and gift cards. The legal notice, which is in Japanese, adds made-to-order items, digital downloads once downloaded, and goods whose value was lost through the buyer's use or modification. For an exchange the policy says to return the item and, once the return is accepted, buy the new one separately.
- Damaged or wrong items. The refund policy asks buyers to inspect an order on arrival and to contact the store at once about a defective, damaged or wrong item so that it can evaluate the issue and make it right. The legal notice says the store exchanges or refunds such an item at its own cost.
- Warranty. The shipping policy, refund policy and legal notice describe no warranty, and we found no warranty page. The terms of service say products are provided 'as is' except as the store expressly states, disclaim warranties, and are governed by Japanese law. Many of the parts this store sells are made by other brands; nothing says whether the store or the maker handles a fault that appears after the item has been in use (checked 2026-11-11).
Before you buy
369DRONE describes itself as an FPV racing drone brand from Japan. Its About page says the founder, Daichi Sakakibara, spent over a decade as a test driver at Toyota Motor Corporation and builds products with experience from racing. These are the store's own statements (checked 2026-11-11).
The store is in Japan and quotes yen. The price on this page is its United States dollar price as of 2026-11-11; the store converts at its own rate, which moves, and a visitor in another country can see a different amount or currency.
The legal notice, written in Japanese, says the products are meant for FPV drone racing and hobby use, asks buyers to follow the Aviation Act, the Radio Act and other laws, and says the store takes no responsibility for damage caused by use that breaks the law. Those are Japan's laws. We have not checked what applies where you live and we do not say whether this product can be flown or operated legally in your country.
This product transmits or receives radio signals or is a complete drone. Rules on frequencies, transmit power, registration and where it may be used differ from country to country; we have not checked them, and anything the listing says about approvals or compliance is the listing's claim.
The English refund policy takes back items that are "unworn or unused", while the Japanese legal notice says, as we read it, unused and unopened, so check the condition rule with the store before opening the package. We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store.
What we liked
- The listing gives a 65mm wheelbase and a 17.3g weight, and names the frame, canopy, camera, motors and propellers by model
- An onboard ELRS 2.4GHz receiver and an onboard 5.8GHz VTX (25mW-400mW) are part of the listed build
- The motors are named as 0702SE II at 27000KV and the propellers as GF 1219S 3-Blade
- A recommended battery (LAVA 1S 260mAh / 300mAh) and a BT2.0 U Cable Pigtail connector are named in the table
Worth noting
- The listing does not say whether a battery or a radio transmitter is included, or whether the 17.3g weight counts a battery
- The listing says flight time is approx. 4 minutes with LAVA 260mAh (4.35V-3.3V) and gives no figure for the 300mAh battery
- The C03 Camera is named without any specifications
- Only one variant is listed, so there is no choice of motor, receiver or frame version

A parcel held for unpaid duties is not delivered, and return shipping is deducted from any refund if the carrier sends it back.

- We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store; the About page is the store's own account.
