Hi Matt, This series has me so damned excited!! I'm an experienced freestyle quad builder and pilot and you were the one to get me into FPV wings (very recently I might add). I had often thought about this type of approach because of my previous experience with naze32 and it's rudimentary capabilities with GPS. In this series, you are pulling together all of the possibilities of proper Flight Control to this arena. Cheers to you my friend for doing all of the footwork on this one, you've saved me one hell of a lot of time as well as sorting out the nuts and bolts to making this practical. You are the man and I can't wait until I get thru this guide ... I plan on going through several pots of coffee, maybe a pint or two and enjoy this day thoroughly ... again thanks for being the consummate source for all that is wings.
Matt, thank you for taking the time to make these great videos. I am looking forward to more information. I do not think I would be able to do this on my own. I have listened to painless360 a little but he goes so fast and does not explain things at my level of understanding. I have several planes that I would like to install the I nav in. So thanks again for doing this service.
Matt: This series of instructional videos has turned out to be incredibly helpful for me. I needed the basic introduction to FPV and Flight controllers just as you are presenting them. I especially like that you have experience with the top flight gear, and are considerate of those like me on fixed incomes who need to economize. Keep going for the gold! Jim
Howdy Matt! I built a C1 Chaser with the Omnibus F4 AIO all according to your instructions here and as far as the flight controller setup goes it is very good! Thank you for putting together this amazing tutorial!
Howdy Neil, yea the first attempts weren't good were they. Glad to report this time around, miles better, YAY! Have you been using iNav lately too? Mat
Howdy Konstantin, iNav has come on leaps & bounds since I first used it. A massive thank you from not only myself, but everyone else too. Outstanding work by yourself & the team, Matt
Matt, greetings from downunder. I watched all your iNav vids and found them very useful. Saved me some head scratching for sure. iNav maiden was a breeze. Cheers, SD
Hi Matt,Just wanted to say a big thank you for this video as you have saved me a Newbie a lot of Dollars and will be able too watch your other video's on the rest of the process.Time to buy some parts.Cheers
Hi Matt,I hope you are feeling a bit better as you have been off grid.I am just deciding which model to get but i watched your Maiden on the C1 Chaser and like that one too.I think i will have to write the names down and get my boy to draw them out of a hat.Its between the S800-AR Stealth-Nano Talon and now the C1-Chaser.Would you happen to have a link for the Carbon you used on the AR also when would the next Coffee Chat be.Hope to see you back online soon.Take Care
Hi Matt! I've recently heard about Inav and I quickly became interested because I want this type of setup in my fpv wings and I'm pretty familiar with Cleanflight for my quads. I've been researching the Inav and I found this video. I've subscribed to your channel because I will most definitely be going along, step by step, with your video series. Thanks very much for making this series available and I'm super stoked about trying this out!!!
Thanks for this! I've learned so much from your videos in the past, and now your covering I-nav! To be honest I was a little intimidated by the whole process, but with your way of teaching I'm sure this will be a walk in the park. Really look forward to this series. Cheers mate! -Jamie
Hi there Matt, Just wanted to say thanks for the series. Bought some bits tonight and they were even cheaper than you said! Twelve quid for the F4V1 and Nine for the GPS (which came with the correct plug)! Cheers, farmerjack61
The timing of these videos is great. I just picked up a Strix Stratosurfer and have been looking at different FC systems. I want to try your iNav build.
Morning Kris, I would suggest testing out in a cheaper model first so you get used to the setup procedure, then move on to that model as that one will do over 100mph out of the box and costs a small fortune! Matt
Great Vid Mat, I look forward to the rest of the series you have planned. I am going to give this inav a crack based on the info you have provided here & on wiki etc. The low price of an inav wing build is very attractive even if I stuff it up the loss won't hurt!
Nice one mat. Was looking at the ARK bird, will absorb this over the next few days and give it a go. Hopefully at some point in the series you'll list a board with current sensing for the main flight pack coz i think the juice in the tank is probably the most important feature
Probably, only got to 4A last night. Hat tip to you sir for contributing so much to the RC community in such a short time. Now if you can convince HK to get that Sidewinder released.....
Howdy fella, part 2 should be out shortly. What I would suggest is trying it out on a smaller wing/mode first then moving up. Hope that makes sense, Matt
Howdy Matt, I'm in the midst of setting up a couple of flying wings using iNav. Thank you for the series and will definitely be an aid. With all the features you mentioned, I'm keenly interested with the Launch Mode which you may have forgotten. Could you cover this as well in your series?
Howdy Ako'y, this was brought up in the FaceBook group. I don't see launch mode as a biggy to be honest. Throttle up and lob it, has worked well 99% of the time for me. Matt
> Hey guys, let's build an FPV drone > I'm gonna keep this as non-technical as possible I believe you've already lost. Great video and intro to the series. Thanks.
Howdy Michael, fantastic. I'm still working on this series, there is a collection of other parts of this series of what I have already recorded in the FaceBook group, we're waiting on a specific part which I haven't recorded yet (been busy flying!), Matt
Great video Matt look forward to the next one in the series especially configuring / wiring up the OSD. Ive got the Omnibus F4 Pro but cant seem to see any pinouts that look like theyre for a VTX or CAM i guess a bit more googling is required :)
Howdy Keith, I have the Pro board as well, check the site you bought it from as there is mild differences between an official one and a clone one. Matt
Hi Matt! You are the best! Loved your intro and want to order the parts now. Unfortunately the links you have below do not work anymore. I would like to order the advanced board with the current meter but am afraid to select a wrong product. Moreover 1 year has passed since you posted this so maybe you have better/newer more advanced boards available. Would be great if you can throw in some links to the best controller currently available!
Howdy Alexei, look up the Matek F722 board and their wing PDB is a great choice too. You can see it in action on one of the latest videos in iNav. Matt
Just jumped in the iNav adventure! I'm going back to my first love: GPS long range multirotors flights! Stunning serie of videos! Milion of kisses for you
Howdy fella, ah go careful as the requirements for a multirotor are different to that of fixed wing, see the guide here github.com/iNavFlight/inav/wiki/Multirotor-guide Matt
Hello Matt - Recieved my Falcon from BG yesterday - I have a few Q's - Do you have a build video of the Falcon - What glue did you use or recommend for EPO - What servo's did you use Keep it up Fella yer's doing a grand job with your easy to follow video's...joe
Howdy Joe, no build video on that one as it's not needed, glue the wings on and pretty much go. I believe I used UHU Por on mine and the servos would have been the TowerPro MG90S ones, hope that helps Joe. And remember, stick that lid down otherwise it'll fly off and be gone "forever", Matt
Good - found a 1 1/2 tube of UHU Por - just tried it on a scrap piece - sticks like the preverble and no melting - going to order the other gizmo's using your links...joe
Matt I hate you⁉️ I was not going to bother with the iNav but because you have just put the video up i couldn't help myself and ordered the parts 😂😂😂😂 looking forward to the rest of the videos 👍
Howdy Roddy, it works fantastically well. Miles cheaper than the vector, thats why I have at least 5 setups on the way to me, on top of the 4 boards I have here already. Matt
Does anyone know the whereabouts of PLAIN ENGLISH instructions for installing iNav Configurator on Linux (Ubuntu variant)? The "instructions" on GitHub are impenetrable and I can find nothing elsewhere.
Great video thanks. Watched your Nano Talon one too. Awsome thanks. Two questions. 1. I looked into the whole FC thing a while back and was bamboozeled by the array of choice. I want something that will allow gps route flight planning as well. Is the iNav 2017 'the best' at the best price, also 2. have you any plans to do RTK and ariel survey. I'm an OpenStreetMap mapper and ariel survey would really help me produce up to date accurate ariel maps that can be used for drawing over (in this way the community owns valuable map data and not Apple, Google or Amazon). ps RTK can make GPS accurate to 2cm.
Howdy, I have absolutely no intentions to look at any mappers etc... for the foreseeable future. As for the kit used in the iNav series, it works well. Until F7 boards get extra UART ports, there is no current better boards to use. Hope that helps, Matt. PS. Epic GPS accuracy is not required for normal flying
My only surprise, is that its took this long to do a minor developement to get an obviously needed AP for Fixed Wing. Small, internal OSD, all it needs now is an optional EXTERNAL current counter. It makes no sense to have it on the Mainboard for Fixed Wing applications....Pleased you are re-visiting this gamechanger Matt....Nice job. You forgot to mention the Cyclops Storm, a very nice simple, proven Auto Pilot, about £100...I have one, its great.
Howdy fella, yea there are loads of them out there, they all vary in functionality. See the second board I mention in part 2 as that has a current sensor on board. BUT I will only be adding an appendix about this board at the end of the series. Matt
Yeah Mat, not convinced running High (noisy motor) amps through this little board is a good idea though. Remember, this F4 Board has its roots as a Multi Rotor FC, and an amp counter is a bit of a luxury. All the other full blown APs have external amp counters, for good reason methinks....Prove me wrong though by all means....lol.....Keep up the great work, we need to debug all those Multi rotor bits we dont need or want....For example, loosing altitude before getting back to the Home position is lunacy...height can be converted into distance. Can we get a plastic case for this Board and use 90 deg header pins???
Hi Matt, loving your channel, i am new to fixed wing and would like a recommendation for craft, i would like Inav (i use it on my quad-copters) and fpv. Would the Talon nano be ok?
Howdy Chris, I would pick something cheaper and far more robust, such as the S800 wing see below for the play list. Also unlike quads, you don't absolutely need a flight controller either, by not using one could help you save a shed load of build time as a thought. See here for the playlist and if you get stuck see the FB group for more suggestions, Matt ua-cam.com/play/PLgoM4-umzSqcSRZibaI_HlEch1XtoVbIc.html
Howdy fella, yes it does. See the playlist for all the videos, including the one that has a OSD walk through ua-cam.com/play/PLgoM4-umzSqd0clW-e_A12yKiOpV--3a2.html Matt
Howdy Sajaks, yep you can change the servo frequency as desired. Also note with the digital ones they'll eat more current, so running them from a dedicated BEC would be advised too. Matt
Howdy fella, I'm not sure as I've not experienced that. Beyond the basics that the servo is good, along with the wiring and that the receiver is far enough away from the transmitter, maybe some more details with photo's as an issue here github.com/iNavFlight/inav/issues would help, Matt
They have sold out of both boards that you have recommenced, is there a third alternative i could use? im a completely green when it comes to these things and after watching your videos i thought id be able to do it untill i saw they where all sold out! Or would you sell one of your spare ones? Cheers, Joe.
Hey Joe, I would suggest paying a bit more and going for the Matek F722 board and one of the power boards that go with to. I have recently used them a d they're brilliant. See the two or three videos I did on them a short while ago. It's also in the Nano talon too. Hope that helps Joe! Matt
@@RagTheNutsOff thanks for getting Back to me, with out an I depth tutorial I think I might struggle with the f722. Is this one any Good? I'm hoping I can just pick up off your videos after the Bluetooth is fitted. Thanks again! m.banggood.com/Inav-F4-Deluxe-30_5x30_5mm-Flight-Controller-Integrated-with-M8N-GPS-Compass-Baro-OSD-for-RC-Drone-p-1311807.html?gmcCountry=GB¤cy=GBP&createTmp=1&cur_warehouse=CN&gclid=CjwKCAjwxILdBRBqEiwAHL2R87Y67zgtI65bW68068Y4HgAu1Pe75Lu1IROWn6MsF-QJguC5pCJ6exoCbkYQAvD_BwE
To be hunest ( I know it sounds Creasy ) sometimes I think the Guys in Pixhawk decide sometimes who should use it problemfri and who should not!!!? sometimes you download a firmware install it, and it workes perfectly until you decide to take the computer to the field or just make some changes or sometimes even do nothing just turn on Missionplanner and Bum your pixhawk comes with loads and loads of problems which you should solve before you fly, and try finding answers!!!
well looking at some of the comments i haven't found my question that is how do you get a naze to arm in inav. Also i now gone and purchased a f4 i assume its a v1 board i am a little sceptical about putting the batt wires on the main board (is that straight from the batt and where dose the esc go ans will it handle the bat voltage).
Matt been looking at a flight board you got was wondering if this board would be ok to use SPF3 DELUXE F3 FLIGHT CONTROLLER .Soon as i sort this thing out il do a video for you happy days liven a dream.
Howdy Pete, yea they're all much of a muchness. But be aware the pin outs in this series are only for the V1 and V2 boards, so double check yours as you go along, Matt
Howdy fella, I'm not sure on that board as we're sticking with the one suggested in the video. There is a V2 board that is in the description that can because it's got a current sensor onboard, but that will be added as an appendix at the end for the wiring for that one, Matt
Howdy Daniel, see the other comments on this above/below. You don't need a baro for a fixed wing model as the GPS is good enough. If using a multirotor, you need the baro and the compass (Magnetometer) as they have the ability to yaw on a dime. For furtehr reading see the iNav wiki here github.com/iNavFlight/inav/wiki Matt
I'm a multirotor guy but lately, ive been thinking a lot about getting into FPV fixed wing. The problem is, i have a turnigy evolution which as you may know, doesn't have any trim switches like a normal radio. Would i be able to get around the trim problem by setting up a wing with an FC and just leaving it in stabilise mode all the time? I don't really know how stabilise mode works in wings but i'm assuming that its very much the same as rate mode for quads. Rate mode maintains whatever angle the quad is currently sitting at with no input from the sticks. So theoretically, all i'd have to do would be to make sure that the FC is seated level with the airframe as it would fly and leave it in stabilise mode all the time? Effectively, i'm hoping that the flight controller will do the trimming for me! Is this a good idea or should i just buy a new radio?
Howdy fella, hmmm... that is odd about the trim. Have a look at the servo auto trim mode here github.com/iNavFlight/inav/wiki/Modes#servo-autotrim as that may salve the issue with a switch! Matt
What receiver do recommend? This is a great You Tube series. I have been looking for something like this for about 1.5 years. I am relative new to the fixed wing/flying wing autonomous flight. Great job!!!
I am wanting to get into long range systems. Nothing exotic, but TX and RX with good strong signal. Currently I use a Spectrum DX6. I have am going to order BF3.2 Omnibus F4 V2.1 Flight Controller. Thanks for your interest and help.
Matt, I watched all the videos, and I still have a question before jumping into the project. I use a Taranis system, and I want to have telemetry data out form the flight controller. My application is purely normal airplanes. With that said, the question is: Is there any board that would allow to be connected to the SPort, besides the SBUS?
Howdy Richard, I have no idea on that one. I also use a Taranis and have never needed to use the telemetry feature sin any constructive fashion as all the data I need is on the screen, Matt
Howdy fella, no probs :) As for what soldering iron, mine cost £10. It's the nibs that make the difference and re-used a fine point from my old one. Matt
F7 is a faster processor with more memory but the main thing to consider is INav support for any particular board. check the INav wiki for a list of supported boards.
You answered some important questions, sweet! I have extra Omnibus F3 FC's lying around and I cant wait to set up and fly my c1chaser kit! thx! Cheers love the channel- and what 2 jerks are disliking these videos??
Hi Matt, this is the first time that I write to you, and I hope you can answer me as soon you can, well, I wanna update me from my FY41-AP to something more modern and actual cheap-solution, so I wanted ask you what about the: Holybro Kakute F7 Flight Controller+Atlatl HV V2 FPV Transmitter+Tekko32 35A 4 In 1 ESC for RC Drone ? , is a solution for fixed wing too ?or it is just for racing drones ? I just fly fixedwing and like I said, I own a X8 skywalker with FY41AP (old expensive and no updating anymore), what do you think? thank you, and waiting for you answer regards Hugo
Hi Hugo, I have never heard of that "Kakute F7" board before, if you would like a newer one, see the Matek F722 and wing PDB. They work great! Also see the later videos where these are covered (albeit in not as much depth as we have in this series), Matt
@@RagTheNutsOff God morning, and thank u for your quick answer, I really apreciate it, I Will take a look on your recomendations and Will back with my think. Thank u again, regards.. Hugo.
I had a quick question, the F4 V3 pro looks identical to the V1. Would this be the same exact setup, but you would get a current sensor too? And then just disable the barometer in the settings?
Howdy Raul, I've not come across that yet. The models I have been using have been well ventilated. Do you have any references to the LDO overheating? Matt
Hi I looked through the comments but couldn't find the answer. Banggood is restocking the GPS you recommend. Can I buy any GPS module and have it work the same as your instructions?
Hey Logan, I can only recommend the units shown as those are only the ones I have used myself. If BG is out of stock, have a look on eBay to see if you can find them on their instead, Matt
RagTheNutsOff I'm not going to lie, I didn't even think about ebay lol. Thank you for the reply and the handhold 🤣🤣🤣. I just bought the V2 board from banggood and the GPS from eBay, both with US stock!
Hi, Cannot get air mode to work in inav all set up in config. everthing works fine but no air mode,now omnibus f4 will not let me flash it back to betaflight been into quad builds for 2 yrs, tried all i know do you think i have a bad board ? any advice please, luv yr vids.
Howdy Kevin, I have no idea why air mode won't work. If you're using a Omnibus F4 board, when you flash it, do not choose the full erase option, that causes issues on Cleanflight, betaflight and inav too. Hope that helps, Matt
hey could you say me what is the best stable plateform for gps mode between inav or pixhawck? what is the easiest to tune? and for plane which is the best?? thanks for you help
hello my friend, i have question. i have wing z84 and now procces user board omnibus f4 but i have problem. in the pin no 1 is = receiver , have 5 pin in f4 omnibus with the rule load flywing (smix) pin no 0 = esc motor pin no 1 = empty pin no 2 = servo 1 pin no 3 = servo 2 the problem my pin in no 4 is broken in the board, i have choose preset wing zeta 64. my question how to remaping pin no 4 to pin no 3. so i just use two pin for my wings. pin no 3 and pin no 4. i have try mixer custom but i very confused and not succed. standart mixer is smix 0 3 0 50 0 smix 1 3 1 50 0 smix 2 4 0 -50 0 smix 3 4 1 50 0 i change custom with this mmix reset mmix 0 2 0 50 0 mmix 1 2 1 50 0 mmix 2 4 0 -50 0 mmix 3 4 1 50 0 i want to use servo 4(pin no 5 in board) and servo 2(pin no 3 in board) but fail the servo didnt corect. please help.
Good morning! Well, that was a fast answer! Thanks a lot! I will order a Matek buzzer. Should I have bluetooth for a Matek F405Wing? And if yes, which one can I use?
Yes, I know about the buzzer now. Second question was about the BT module! I have found the info on the INAV wiki. Should be a HC-06 module. I have found a HC-06 BT module on BG. This should work! www.banggood.com/de/HC-06-Wireless-Bluetooth-Transceiver-RF-Main-Module-Serial-For-Arduino-p-80364.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=USA Thanks a lot for your support and vids! :-)
Hi sir I wanna make a RC plane which can fly autonomously and Return home all by itself but I already bought a fc which is Spf3 flight controller . which doesn't have barometer or magnetometer What should I do now sir .I don't have money to buy a new one
RagTheNutsOff okay buy if I want to stuff like the features you said is that possible . like return home feature and stability considering the fact that my flight controller doesn't have barometer or magnetometer. I wanna do the features that you said in this video only
Howdy, I don't fully understand the question, so assuming that you mean "will the model return, even without a compass?" Then the answer is yes it will do as the GPS is enough for fixed wing models to return to the launch site. Matt
If educating yourself is "nerdy" then being "nerdy" is what we should all aspire to be, and fuck the haters, chads, and "cool kids" that ultimately end up doing nothing more with their ignorant lives other than spending 40 hours a week asking "would you like fries with that?". Next time if you want to apologise for something, apologise for not making it even more technical instead of for making it 'too technical', and quit being an enabler of wilful ignorance.
@@RagTheNutsOff sorry if i came off a bit preachy or negative, fact is i just discovered your channel and really enjoy your vids.... And I'm proud of being one of the nerds (I'm a robotics engineer - it doesn't get much nerdier than that :D)
Matt, Love your vids. I have built a small quad with GPS and such, RTH and all that good stuff is working a treat. I have an Omnibus F3 running Inav in it. Now I find that I would like to run missions on it. I have another quad that has a PX4 on it and have run missions on that quite well using mission planner. I can not seem to get mission planner to connect to The Omnibus and Inav. Is there a different software needed to set up missions in inav? Is there one that runs in windows on a PC? I have been racking my feeble mind on this for quite some time now. HELP PLEASE. vince@thetassones.net
Howdy Obinna, I have 2 Pixracers and a Pixhawk. Both are flawed because you need to hook an external OSD to them which is a pain in the bottom to setup and make work. They might work for you, but the pilots I fly with (and myself too) all complain about the OSD being separate and being the biggest weakness of the Pixhawk. Which is exactly why I was pleased for find a decent F4 board with an OSD built in because it simplifies things for setup. I hope that makes sense Obinna, Matt

I had often thought about this type of approach because of my previous experience with naze32 and it's rudimentary capabilities with GPS.

Howdy fella, more parts in this series to come. Will be posted shortly, Matt
Thanks a ton for these videos. This is the route I will go when I decide to add all these features.
You're welcome Matt, Matt
ive been involved in multirotors since 2011 as a videographer and now looking into the fpv hobby.. now where have you been hiding sir.. subbed
Nice one mat.
Was looking at the ARK bird, will absorb this over the next few days and give it a go.
Hopefully at some point in the series you'll list a board with current sensing for the main flight pack coz i think the juice in the tank is probably the most important feature
Howdy fella, oh you mean like this one ua-cam.com/video/d2yRSgwYIuk/v-deo.html ? :)
Probably, only got to 4A last night.
Hat tip to you sir for contributing so much to the RC community in such a short time.
Now if you can convince HK to get that Sidewinder released.....
This is exceptional.. thank you. It's inspired me to extend my rc interest into flight control... may i ask, have they been used in edf jets ?
Matthew Ogborne look forward to your next video on setting up delta wing .i may get one for my 6ft glider I've not flown yet 😉👍🏽
Howdy fella, part 2 should be out shortly. What I would suggest is trying it out on a smaller wing/mode first then moving up. Hope that makes sense, Matt
Hey Matt, really looking forward to this, I'll just knock up a new Versa wing and order the bits I need. great fun.😁 Kevin
Morning Kevin, yep fantastic idea! Matt
Thank you for your enlightening series.
Howdy Matt, I'm in the midst of setting up a couple of flying wings using iNav. Thank you for the series and will definitely be an aid. With all the features you mentioned, I'm keenly interested with the Launch Mode which you may have forgotten. Could you cover this as well in your series?
Howdy Ako'y, this was brought up in the FaceBook group. I don't see launch mode as a biggy to be honest. Throttle up and lob it, has worked well 99% of the time for me. Matt
> Hey guys, let's build an FPV drone
> I'm gonna keep this as non-technical as possible
I believe you've already lost.
Great video and intro to the series. Thanks.
Matt, thank you for you excellent reviews - just ordered one to play around with. Thx.
Howdy Michael, fantastic. I'm still working on this series, there is a collection of other parts of this series of what I have already recorded in the FaceBook group, we're waiting on a specific part which I haven't recorded yet (been busy flying!), Matt
Coming from quadcopters, your "do you want" list made me ask "Is that not already standard?" 😂
I'm gonna love this playlist.
Cheers mate.
Enjoy Adrian :)
Great video Matt look forward to the next one in the series especially configuring / wiring up the OSD.
Ive got the Omnibus F4 Pro but cant seem to see any pinouts that look like theyre for a VTX or CAM i guess a bit more googling is required :)
Howdy Keith, I have the Pro board as well, check the site you bought it from as there is mild differences between an official one and a clone one. Matt
Matthew Ogborne thanks I found it in another video, the Vin vout I thought were voltage in and out but they're video :) mystery solved..
Hi Matt! You are the best! Loved your intro and want to order the parts now. Unfortunately the links you have below do not work anymore. I would like to order the advanced board with the current meter but am afraid to select a wrong product. Moreover 1 year has passed since you posted this so maybe you have better/newer more advanced boards available. Would be great if you can throw in some links to the best controller currently available!
Howdy Alexei, look up the Matek F722 board and their wing PDB is a great choice too. You can see it in action on one of the latest videos in iNav. Matt
See here ua-cam.com/video/EjmqFa6-iqk/v-deo.html Matt
Thanks for the video series, just cost me - ordered the board, Gps and a Nano Talon.
Howdy Paul, love mine. Been out a couple of times this week with the Nano Talon, most enjoyable, Matt
Just jumped in the iNav adventure!
I'm going back to my first love: GPS long range multirotors flights!
Stunning serie of videos! Milion of kisses for you
Howdy fella, ah go careful as the requirements for a multirotor are different to that of fixed wing, see the guide here github.com/iNavFlight/inav/wiki/Multirotor-guide Matt
RagTheNutsOff Thanks man, i actually read the wiki a lot yesterday, thanks to add more informations to the process :)
Thanks Matt for the amazing video. Regards Josef.
Howdy Josef, I'#m glad you've found it helpful, the whole series is here ua-cam.com/play/PLgoM4-umzSqd0clW-e_A12yKiOpV--3a2.html happy iNav'ing! Matt
Any chance for an update to this series? Specifically interested in what might have changed with what to buy.
this is what I want plain english. thanks for explaining. on to part 2
Morning Vincent, happy days :)
Hello Matt - Recieved my Falcon from BG yesterday - I have a few Q's
- Do you have a build video of the Falcon
- What glue did you use or recommend for EPO
- What servo's did you use
Keep it up Fella yer's doing a grand job with your easy to follow video's...joe
Howdy Joe, no build video on that one as it's not needed, glue the wings on and pretty much go. I believe I used UHU Por on mine and the servos would have been the TowerPro MG90S ones, hope that helps Joe. And remember, stick that lid down otherwise it'll fly off and be gone "forever", Matt
Good - found a 1 1/2 tube of UHU Por - just tried it on a scrap piece - sticks like the preverble and no melting - going to order the other gizmo's using your links...joe
Matt, you did a great job here, by doing this video +++ thanks a lot, very helpful
Matt I hate you⁉️ I was not going to bother with the iNav but because you have just put the video up i couldn't help myself and ordered the parts 😂😂😂😂 looking forward to the rest of the videos 👍
Howdy Roddy, it works fantastically well. Miles cheaper than the vector, thats why I have at least 5 setups on the way to me, on top of the 4 boards I have here already. Matt
Same buddy...... Same here.... lol I've had I-nav on my computer for a few months, and haven't done a thing with it yet.
same
Does anyone know the whereabouts of PLAIN ENGLISH instructions for installing iNav Configurator on Linux (Ubuntu variant)? The "instructions" on GitHub are impenetrable and I can find nothing elsewhere.
great video and exactly what I was looking for!!
Great video!
Great video thanks. Watched your Nano Talon one too. Awsome thanks. Two questions. 1. I looked into the whole FC thing a while back and was bamboozeled by the array of choice. I want something that will allow gps route flight planning as well. Is the iNav 2017 'the best' at the best price, also 2. have you any plans to do RTK and ariel survey. I'm an OpenStreetMap mapper and ariel survey would really help me produce up to date accurate ariel maps that can be used for drawing over (in this way the community owns valuable map data and not Apple, Google or Amazon). ps RTK can make GPS accurate to 2cm.
Howdy, I have absolutely no intentions to look at any mappers etc... for the foreseeable future. As for the kit used in the iNav series, it works well. Until F7 boards get extra UART ports, there is no current better boards to use. Hope that helps, Matt. PS. Epic GPS accuracy is not required for normal flying
My only surprise, is that its took this long to do a minor developement to get an obviously needed AP for Fixed Wing.
Small, internal OSD, all it needs now is an optional EXTERNAL current counter. It makes no sense to have it on the Mainboard for Fixed Wing applications....Pleased you are re-visiting this gamechanger Matt....Nice job.
You forgot to mention the Cyclops Storm, a very nice simple, proven Auto Pilot, about £100...I have one, its great.
Howdy fella, yea there are loads of them out there, they all vary in functionality. See the second board I mention in part 2 as that has a current sensor on board. BUT I will only be adding an appendix about this board at the end of the series. Matt
Yeah Mat, not convinced running High (noisy motor) amps through this little board is a good idea though. Remember, this F4 Board has its roots as a Multi Rotor FC, and an amp counter is a bit of a luxury. All the other full blown APs have external amp counters, for good reason methinks....Prove me wrong though by all means....lol.....Keep up the great work, we need to debug all those Multi rotor bits we dont need or want....For example, loosing altitude before getting back to the Home position is lunacy...height can be converted into distance. Can we get a plastic case for this Board and use 90 deg header pins???
Great video, great job. Hello from France
Howdy Ivan, thank you, Matt
just brillint Matt keep up the much needed help.
Mat.
Howdy Mat, thank you. Matt
Hi Matt, loving your channel, i am new to fixed wing and would like a recommendation for craft, i would like Inav (i use it on my quad-copters) and fpv. Would the Talon nano be ok?
Howdy Chris, I would pick something cheaper and far more robust, such as the S800 wing see below for the play list. Also unlike quads, you don't absolutely need a flight controller either, by not using one could help you save a shed load of build time as a thought. See here for the playlist and if you get stuck see the FB group for more suggestions, Matt ua-cam.com/play/PLgoM4-umzSqcSRZibaI_HlEch1XtoVbIc.html
Cheers Matt, i'm on it now, have you seen the V2 version? Is it an improvement?
hey! very good video! do you prefer arduplane or inav software? i can t arrrive to know which is better
do you show us hat pins to use on a fc? inavworks on quad boards that have like bettaflight or something?
Hey Matt, thanks for the series! Does the OSD on this f4 have the return to home arrow? Website doesn't seem to show the osd's features.
Howdy fella, yes it does. See the playlist for all the videos, including the one that has a OSD walk through ua-cam.com/play/PLgoM4-umzSqd0clW-e_A12yKiOpV--3a2.html Matt
consideration when using digital and analog servo ... our trusted 9g servo
Howdy Sajaks, yep you can change the servo frequency as desired. Also note with the digital ones they'll eat more current, so running them from a dedicated BEC would be advised too. Matt
Matthew Ogborne why does servo jitter when connect to the FC and not to the receiver
Howdy fella, I'm not sure as I've not experienced that. Beyond the basics that the servo is good, along with the wiring and that the receiver is far enough away from the transmitter, maybe some more details with photo's as an issue here github.com/iNavFlight/inav/issues would help, Matt
Will do check again at iNav wiki ..thanks
Im loving the intro lol
They have sold out of both boards that you have recommenced, is there a third alternative i could use? im a completely green when it comes to these things and after watching your videos i thought id be able to do it untill i saw they where all sold out! Or would you sell one of your spare ones?
Cheers,
Joe.
Hey Joe, I would suggest paying a bit more and going for the Matek F722 board and one of the power boards that go with to. I have recently used them a d they're brilliant. See the two or three videos I did on them a short while ago. It's also in the Nano talon too. Hope that helps Joe! Matt
@@RagTheNutsOff thanks for getting Back to me, with out an I depth tutorial I think I might struggle with the f722. Is this one any Good? I'm hoping I can just pick up off your videos after the Bluetooth is fitted.
Thanks again! m.banggood.com/Inav-F4-Deluxe-30_5x30_5mm-Flight-Controller-Integrated-with-M8N-GPS-Compass-Baro-OSD-for-RC-Drone-p-1311807.html?gmcCountry=GB¤cy=GBP&createTmp=1&cur_warehouse=CN&gclid=CjwKCAjwxILdBRBqEiwAHL2R87Y67zgtI65bW68068Y4HgAu1Pe75Lu1IROWn6MsF-QJguC5pCJ6exoCbkYQAvD_BwE
great video Matt
I'm onboard
Evening Hans, welcome aboard! There are several more parts to follow :) Matt
To be hunest ( I know it sounds Creasy ) sometimes I think the Guys in Pixhawk decide sometimes who should use it problemfri and who should not!!!? sometimes you download a firmware install it, and it workes perfectly until you decide to take the computer to the field or just make some changes or sometimes even do nothing just turn on Missionplanner and Bum your pixhawk comes with loads and loads of problems which you should solve before you fly, and try finding answers!!!
well looking at some of the comments i haven't found my question that is how do you get a naze to arm in inav. Also i now gone and purchased a f4 i assume its a v1 board i am a little sceptical about putting the batt wires on the main board (is that straight from the batt and where dose the esc go ans will it handle the bat voltage).
Love it Matt, def where I want to be going :)
Howdy Owen, happy days. Its worked out well for me so far, I hope does for you too! Matt
Matt been looking at a flight board you got was wondering if this board would be ok to use SPF3 DELUXE F3 FLIGHT CONTROLLER .Soon as i sort this thing out il do a video for you happy days liven a dream.
Howdy Pete, yea they're all much of a muchness. But be aware the pin outs in this series are only for the V1 and V2 boards, so double check yours as you go along, Matt
Big thank you Matt. Your the wing man.
I ordered my FC and gps module ready for the full tutorial. Can the Omnibus F3 tell you how many amps you are using in the osd? Thanks Matt!
Howdy fella, I'm not sure on that board as we're sticking with the one suggested in the video. There is a V2 board that is in the description that can because it's got a current sensor onboard, but that will be added as an appendix at the end for the wiring for that one, Matt
I and several others are intrigued. I notice your first board does not have a Barometer. Does this remove options such as altitude hold?
Howdy Daniel, see the other comments on this above/below. You don't need a baro for a fixed wing model as the GPS is good enough. If using a multirotor, you need the baro and the compass (Magnetometer) as they have the ability to yaw on a dime. For furtehr reading see the iNav wiki here github.com/iNavFlight/inav/wiki Matt
I assume all of this info will also apply with an f4 flight controller rather than an f3 board in this video?
I'm a multirotor guy but lately, ive been thinking a lot about getting into FPV fixed wing. The problem is, i have a turnigy evolution which as you may know, doesn't have any trim switches like a normal radio.
Would i be able to get around the trim problem by setting up a wing with an FC and just leaving it in stabilise mode all the time?
I don't really know how stabilise mode works in wings but i'm assuming that its very much the same as rate mode for quads. Rate mode maintains whatever angle the quad is currently sitting at with no input from the sticks. So theoretically, all i'd have to do would be to make sure that the FC is seated level with the airframe as it would fly and leave it in stabilise mode all the time? Effectively, i'm hoping that the flight controller will do the trimming for me!
Is this a good idea or should i just buy a new radio?
Howdy fella, hmmm... that is odd about the trim. Have a look at the servo auto trim mode here github.com/iNavFlight/inav/wiki/Modes#servo-autotrim as that may salve the issue with a switch! Matt
What receiver do recommend? This is a great You Tube series. I have been looking for something like this for about 1.5 years. I am relative new to the fixed wing/flying wing autonomous flight. Great job!!!
Howdy fella, that really depends on what system you are using and how far you want to fly. I use D4R-II & L9R's most frequently, Matt
I am wanting to get into long range systems. Nothing exotic, but TX and RX with good strong signal. Currently I use a Spectrum DX6. I have am going to order BF3.2 Omnibus F4 V2.1 Flight Controller. Thanks for your interest and help.
Matt, I watched all the videos, and I still have a question before jumping into the project. I use a Taranis system, and I want to have telemetry data out form the flight controller. My application is purely normal airplanes. With that said, the question is: Is there any board that would allow to be connected to the SPort, besides the SBUS?
Howdy Richard, I have no idea on that one. I also use a Taranis and have never needed to use the telemetry feature sin any constructive fashion as all the data I need is on the screen, Matt
Thanks Matt.
Brilliant, Matthew! If this works IOU ;) Thank You!
What soldering iron do you recommend?
Howdy fella, no probs :) As for what soldering iron, mine cost £10. It's the nibs that make the difference and re-used a fine point from my old one. Matt
Matt, struggling with what to buy for my firat iNav board. Looking at the Matek F7, or should I stick with the older F4 Omnibus?
F7 is a faster processor with more memory but the main thing to consider is INav support for any particular board. check the INav wiki for a list of supported boards.
Hi Matt, i am here to learn howto config inav, gps etc.
You answered some important questions, sweet! I have extra Omnibus F3 FC's lying around and I cant wait to set up and fly my c1chaser kit! thx! Cheers love the channel- and what 2 jerks are disliking these videos??
Howdy Zak, happy days. As for the dislikes, UA-cam counts them as likes lol!
Hi Matt, this is the first time that I write to you, and I hope you can answer me as soon you can, well, I wanna update me from my FY41-AP to something more modern and actual cheap-solution, so I wanted ask you what about the:
Holybro Kakute F7 Flight Controller+Atlatl HV V2 FPV Transmitter+Tekko32 35A 4 In 1 ESC for RC Drone ? , is a solution for fixed wing too ?or it is just for racing drones ?
I just fly fixedwing and like I said, I own a X8 skywalker with FY41AP (old expensive and no updating anymore), what do you think?
thank you, and waiting for you answer
regards Hugo
Hi Hugo, I have never heard of that "Kakute F7" board before, if you would like a newer one, see the Matek F722 and wing PDB. They work great! Also see the later videos where these are covered (albeit in not as much depth as we have in this series), Matt
@@RagTheNutsOff God morning, and thank u for your quick answer, I really apreciate it, I Will take a look on your recomendations and Will back with my think. Thank u again, regards.. Hugo.
I had a quick question, the F4 V3 pro looks identical to the V1. Would this be the same exact setup, but you would get a current sensor too? And then just disable the barometer in the settings?
Howdy fella, I assume so. The boards have differences, I only cover V1 and V2 boards in this series, Matt
Hi Matt.
Can I use the DSM2/X SAT port (to connect a DSMX sat antenna) on the F4 v1 board in combination with the PPM port to have more coverage?
Howdy Arthur, no I don't believe you can. Its one or the other. Matt
Ok, thanks
helo. can you help me. I am installing f4v2 circuit that no 3 pin no control signal is what error you? Sevo still works normally.
Excellent...
Hi Matt, what about LDO overheating? Haven't you removed it yet?
Howdy Raul, I've not come across that yet. The models I have been using have been well ventilated. Do you have any references to the LDO overheating? Matt
What cables will I need and where to get cables for this setup.
Morning! See part 2 of the series. Matt
Hi I looked through the comments but couldn't find the answer. Banggood is restocking the GPS you recommend. Can I buy any GPS module and have it work the same as your instructions?
Hey Logan, I can only recommend the units shown as those are only the ones I have used myself. If BG is out of stock, have a look on eBay to see if you can find them on their instead, Matt
RagTheNutsOff I'm not going to lie, I didn't even think about ebay lol. Thank you for the reply and the handhold 🤣🤣🤣. I just bought the V2 board from banggood and the GPS from eBay, both with US stock!
YAY! There are other GPS units out there, but I only ever use those ones as they work so well, Matt
Hi,
Cannot get air mode to work in inav all set up in config. everthing works fine but no air mode,now omnibus f4 will not let me
flash it back to betaflight been into quad builds for 2 yrs, tried all i know do you think i have a bad board ?
any advice please, luv yr vids.
Howdy Kevin, I have no idea why air mode won't work. If you're using a Omnibus F4 board, when you flash it, do not choose the full erase option, that causes issues on Cleanflight, betaflight and inav too. Hope that helps, Matt
Can this fc be used for Quadcopter?
how does it deal with altitude hold having no baro sensor? is gps height alone enough for that?
Howdy Jamble, yep thats what the GPS is for. Hence why we're using the M8N one which has worked well for me, Matt
hey
could you say me what is the best stable plateform for gps mode between inav or pixhawck? what is the easiest to tune?
and for plane which is the best??
thanks for you help
Howdy, I gave up using the PixHawk & PixRacer as the OSD is a pain to get working. As for setting them up, both are pretty much the same. Matt
BUT.... using a flight controller with a OSD built in makes things a LOT easier, Matt
thanks for you reply
personally i don t use osd.
but i need a good gps mode so i can t arrive to know if inav is good than pixhawck
hello my friend, i have question.
i have wing z84 and now procces user board omnibus f4
but i have problem.
in the pin no 1 is = receiver , have 5 pin in f4 omnibus
with the rule load flywing
(smix)
pin no 0 = esc motor
pin no 1 = empty
pin no 2 = servo 1
pin no 3 = servo 2
the problem my pin in no 4 is broken in the board, i have choose preset wing zeta 64.
my question how to remaping pin no 4 to pin no 3.
so i just use two pin for my wings. pin no 3 and pin no 4.
i have try mixer custom but i very confused and not succed.
standart mixer is
smix 0 3 0 50 0
smix 1 3 1 50 0
smix 2 4 0 -50 0
smix 3 4 1 50 0
i change custom with this
mmix reset
mmix 0 2 0 50 0
mmix 1 2 1 50 0
mmix 2 4 0 -50 0
mmix 3 4 1 50 0
i want to use servo 4(pin no 5 in board) and servo 2(pin no 3 in board)
but fail the servo didnt corect. please help.
is there a way to use this to create some kind of 4G mod?
hi matt can you use a ubloxneo-6m gps aswell with this or does it have to have a 8m
Howdy Andrew, yep indeed. Just be wary of the pinout on it, Matt
Will I need a buzzer on a ficed wing with Inav?
Morning, no, but it can be helpful! Matt
Good morning! Well, that was a fast answer! Thanks a lot! I will order a Matek buzzer.
Should I have bluetooth for a Matek F405Wing? And if yes, which one can I use?
Howdy fella, I have no ideas on that board, however it should just be a normal buzzer that is compatible with the other FC boards, Matt
Yes, I know about the buzzer now. Second question was about the BT module! I have found the info on the INAV wiki. Should be a HC-06 module. I have found a HC-06 BT module on BG. This should work! www.banggood.com/de/HC-06-Wireless-Bluetooth-Transceiver-RF-Main-Module-Serial-For-Arduino-p-80364.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=USA
Thanks a lot for your support and vids! :-)
does this have terrain following capability?
Howdy fella, I believe you can use a sonar module, but thats only any good to about 3M off the ground, hope that helps! Matt
Hi sir I wanna make a RC plane which can fly autonomously and
Return home all by itself but I already bought a fc which is Spf3 flight controller . which doesn't have barometer or magnetometer
What should I do now sir .I don't have money to buy a new one
Lalith Kishore Howdy, that isn’t covered in this series and also won’t be. Matt
RagTheNutsOff okay buy if I want to stuff like the features you said is that possible . like return home feature and stability considering the fact that my flight controller doesn't have barometer or magnetometer. I wanna do the features that you said in this video only
Howdy fella, see the video, all the parts need are covered in parts 1 & 2. No barometer is needed for fixed wing models, Matt
Thanks
tried any vtol lately
Howdy Joel, I haven't. I don't see the point in it. Matt
Thanks no Problem
the gps have not compass,Can the plane go back
Howdy, I don't fully understand the question, so assuming that you mean "will the model return, even without a compass?" Then the answer is yes it will do as the GPS is enough for fixed wing models to return to the launch site. Matt
dang your drak must be in the 550dollar range huh
Howdy Elijah, yea it wasn't cheap considering it was the first one in the UK :)
The intro is too long but... Good job!
Where is Part 2 ?
ua-cam.com/video/7JT00eJMs-Q/v-deo.html
Little dies he know, in 2021,chip prices soar.
Wow hindsight on an old video 👍👍
If educating yourself is "nerdy" then being "nerdy" is what we should all aspire to be, and fuck the haters, chads, and "cool kids" that ultimately end up doing nothing more with their ignorant lives other than spending 40 hours a week asking "would you like fries with that?".
Next time if you want to apologise for something, apologise for not making it even more technical instead of for making it 'too technical', and quit being an enabler of wilful ignorance.
Yea that's an extremely good point. The world is run by nerds! Matt
@@RagTheNutsOff sorry if i came off a bit preachy or negative, fact is i just discovered your channel and really enjoy your vids.... And I'm proud of being one of the nerds (I'm a robotics engineer - it doesn't get much nerdier than that :D)
Matt, Love your vids. I have built a small quad with GPS and such, RTH and all that good stuff is working a treat. I have an Omnibus F3 running Inav in it. Now I find that I would like to run missions on it. I have another quad that has a PX4 on it and have run missions on that quite well using mission planner. I can not seem to get mission planner to connect to The Omnibus and Inav. Is there a different software needed to set up missions in inav? Is there one that runs in windows on a PC? I have been racking my feeble mind on this for quite some time now. HELP PLEASE. vince@thetassones.net
Hi Vincent, carry on and watch the rest of the series. iNav and mission planner are completely different sets of software. Matt
You can buy a pixhawk lite for 50Bucks, it"s better.
Howdy Obinna, I have 2 Pixracers and a Pixhawk. Both are flawed because you need to hook an external OSD to them which is a pain in the bottom to setup and make work. They might work for you, but the pilots I fly with (and myself too) all complain about the OSD being separate and being the biggest weakness of the Pixhawk. Which is exactly why I was pleased for find a decent F4 board with an OSD built in because it simplifies things for setup. I hope that makes sense Obinna, Matt
Matthew Ogborne makes sense, are common issues.
Yea it's a shame. The Pixracers work a treat out of the box and I love the setup process in QGroundControl, way better than mission planner. Matt
The best way to start a video! Kudo! Thank you!
Thanks Mike :)
