The shopping list with no hedging, and the measured Air65 analog stack — 25.42 g, 3:53 cruise.

Recreational checklist only — not legal advice. Pass TRUST, weigh ready-to-fly, and do not treat under 250 g as a free pass.

Same phrase both sides, one packet rate, one EdgeTX model, one props-off failsafe test. No menu archaeology.

Same TX16S in the free sim, the rates you will fly, then indoor hops on a 65mm analog whose calculator AUW is not a surprise.

Which video system by how you fly, what each locks you into, and the flight time it costs. Goggles included.

Start on Air analog. Digital on this site is HDZero, not Meteor. Pavo is cine later. Goggles lock the rest.

A 41.5 g, 1S, 80mm DJI whoop with the 159° O4 Wide camera. Worth it if you already own the goggles; not a first whoop.

Freestyle is the beginner default. Racing is the mid fork on the same PnP frame. Champion later. Retail BNF is not the Gear Analog Daily Driver.

Shared settings vs per-port, storage mode, and the power-supply mistake that gets blamed on packs.

WhoopStor V3 stays the beginner default. HexaCharger is a USB-C desk fork when you already live on capable PD — not a W63 rematch.

LAVA 300 under every measured 65mm number, now discontinued; weBLEEDfpv 450 on three provisional 75mm builds. Plus what current listings claim.

BT2.0 and A30 are cross-compatible. Pick one connector and re-pigtail everything else. 65–85mm 1S whoops only.

Exact PIDs and rates from the tune database, the props-off apply, and the D-name trap between BF 4.5 and the 2025.x releases.

233 s against 154 s on the same pack and props. Why the cost is mostly fixed, and what the numbers do not say.
