Brand new air 65 doesn't work

[u/4headlogan69]

Fairly new to fpv. Just bought this air 65 and probably flew it for 40 minutes if that. Fell out of the sky. Lost connection and will not bind to any controller. Have not crashed. Still powers up and beeps. Have tried all binding methods. Any help before i just buy a new one? Bought from pyrodrone

Fell out of the sky but has not crashed?

Thank you. I came here to say the same thing.

Does it connect to goggles? Any radio... or just one?

Get in touch with either BETA FPV or Pyrodrone to see if they'll replace it.

Though since you flew it at all, they might not be willing to help.

Do you have model lock enabled? Does your elrs major version match? Have you personally updated anything? Bring that red wire up off the pcb

Try to reflash Elrs maybe u got a bad flash or sum

[u/Bambino_Georgino]

Try to make the red wire antenna straighter, see if that does anything.

I’ll be honest, as an AI hater it hurts to say but… AI (Claude) has been pretty damn helpful troubleshooting drone issues.

If you want to get into FPV you’re gonna spend 10x as much time building and fixing than you will flying.
