NEWS: HBRC HB65S

[Drone News]

As you probably known, the introduction of 0603 brushless motors was the solution for 65mm brushless tinywhoop machine and probably the best current model is the URAV UR65…. IMHO, the best available machine actually. But HBRC will introduce soon the same type of machine with the HB65S: https://www.banggood.com/HB65S-65mm-1S-Brushless-RC-FPV-Racing-Drone-PNP-BNF-F3-OSD-25mW-800TVL-0603-20000KV-Motor-p-1333638.html
The main novelty is the integration of 0603/20000Kv motors offering 24g of thrust each !!!. So close to 3 extra grams per motors versus the 16000Kv variant for the UR65. In the other hand the HB65S is annonced 1g more heavier than the UR65. For the HB65S, the flight controller is no more the excellent crazybee model. Here we have a F3 based board with a builtin OSD and a 5A 1S ESC 4-in-1 module (Dshot 600 compatible). The AIO module is based on a 800TVL CMOS camera coupled with a 48CH 25mW VTX. The HB65S can be found in PNP variant or in four different BNF configurations: DSM2/X, FlySly AFHDS-2A, FrSky D8 and Futaba SFHSS. For this later is also mentionned D16… Does it mean it also supporting the FrSky D16 ? It’s not impossible since FrSky and Futaba protocols are based both on the CC2500 RFchip. The first open question will concern the presence of the RSSI for the FrSky D8 variant. But the more important question is about the efficiency of the provided 260mAh LiHV 30C batteries. 20000Kv are known to pull a lot of current under 100% load… and if the battery is not strong enough, you may meet some brownout at full throtlle… or damage very fast this model of LiHV batteries… Wait & See as usual.
