NewBeeDrone LionBee 3inch long range ELRS2.4 AIO developer kit


The NewBeeDrone LionBee Long Range Developer Kit is a completely new approach to 1S long-range FPV drone design. Engineered around an innovative 18650 structural-integrated flight controller, the LionBee introduces breakthroughs that redefine what a micro long-range drone can be. By mounting the AIO FC directly onto the battery chamber, the frame gains natural vibration resistance, reduced complexity, and improved electrical efficiency—something never before seen in the FPV world.

To unlock true 1S long-range performance, LionBee features a custom 0.5mm brass high-current conduction system, eliminating the bottleneck found in traditional 18650 battery holders. This high cross-section path allows modern high-discharge 18650 cells—such as JP30—to reach their full potential, providing freestyle-capable thrust on a single cell.

LionBee also introduces the world’s first 1S ESC built on a 32-bit MCU, developed in collaboration with the AM32 team for optimized performance. At the core of the AIO is the AT32F435 288MHz processor, delivering exceptional computational power for advanced flight control, video transmission, and integrated receiver functions. Despite the single-sided PCB layout, the system includes an 800mW Smart-Max VTX, providing temperature-adaptive power output for safe and reliable long-range video transmission.

A full reverse-polarity protection circuit ensures that accidentally inserting the 18650 battery backward will not damage the FC, ESC, PA, or other electronic components—an essential safeguard for field operation. The redesigned modular replaceable battery chamber features factory-soldered brass terminals and allows quick replacement if damaged during impact.

Released as a Developer Kit, the LionBee is designed for pilots, engineers, and innovators who want to take part in shaping the next generation of micro long-range FPV. It is more than a product—it’s an expandable, experimental platform for R&D exploration and community-driven evolution.

Flight Controller / VTX Warranty Policy
 
At weBLEEDfpv, we are committed to providing high-quality products. However, due to the technical nature of flight controllers and VTX's the precision required for installation, our warranty policy for flight controllers is as follows:
 
1. No Warranty Post-Soldering: 
   Once any soldering has been performed on the flight controller / VTX's, we are no longer responsible for replacements, repairs, or refunds. The process of soldering can introduce various factors that may lead to damage, and we are unable to control or verify the conditions in which the soldering was conducted.
   
2. Pre-Soldering Inspection: 
   Before you begin soldering, we recommend carefully inspecting the flight controller  / VTX's for any potential issues. If any defects or issues are found prior to soldering, please contact us immediately for a replacement.
 
3. User Responsibility: 
   Soldering requires skill and experience, and improper techniques may result in damage to the flight controller, including but not limited to overheating or lifting solder pads. Please ensure you are confident in your soldering abilities before proceeding, as we cannot be held liable for any damages caused during installation.
 
4. Final Sale: 
   All flight controller sales are final once the product has been modified or soldered. We are unable to offer returns or exchanges on used or modified products.

⚠️ FPV DIGITAL SYSTEM NOTICE

HDZero, Walksnail, VTX systems, and ultra-micro FPV electronics generate heat quickly while powered and require proper handling during setup and troubleshooting.

Bench setup without airflow/cooling can result in excessive heat buildup.

Once powered, configured, firmware updated, soldered, flown, or modified, products are considered used.

Manufacturer warranty may apply for BNF drones and electronic systems.

**************************************************************************
