      @torquedude  3 місяці тому +1

      @@The_regular couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately the rest of the Dolphin community are claiming their top speed run numbers by recording max speed in a near vertical dive like the 12s Dolphin and Jeff’s latest run. Only way to compete fairly is to do the same. The other airframes can’t sustain any kind of high speed passes when on the level unlike mine. It would be better to do a horizontal plus vertical speed run to get a better comparison of power and aerodynamics. Thanks for the comment and the 🐓 emoji definitely gave me a laugh.

      FpvBerget, thanks for your comment. The area that we fly has a constant decline towards the sea. The approach to the field requires the crossing of a roadway, trees and power lines, keep an eye on the artificial horizon and you’ll see that there is little negative pitch with a last second pull out before I meet the ground running uphill. I could do these runs up higher but doesn’t make for a good video in my eyes as I like to capture the speed run from the ground.

    Is the formula is as follows
    Kv. X volts X pitch X.000947 X drag coefficient. ! Most flying wings have a d.c. of .7 to .75 drag coefficient! Trainers are .6. Jets may be .75 to .8. Example
    2200 kv.x16.8 volts x 5.5 pitch x .75 d.c x .000947= 144 mph

It gets you close if you are wanting to attempt a given speed. That’s why I cleaned the airframe up as much as I could to reduce as much drag as possible but unfortunately it wasn’t enough. My next move is a different motor and prop combo. Hopefully I can break the 200mph mark next run……Rotorflex👍

    I am surprised how stable your Dolphin flies at these speeds. Apart from your Elevon mod, do you have any other special settings in iNAV that make your Dolphin fly so smoothly? It would be nice if you could share yor settings.
    I fly my Dolphin with a 6s 1400 battery, 2807 1500 KV motor with a 7" 4.5 prop. When I am high on the throttle my Dolphin bounces around and it does not feel very stable in horizon/acro mode.

    • @torquedude
      @torquedude  5 місяців тому

      CptPotti, skinning the Elevons made a massive difference to the top speed stability but another thing to consider is any external attachments creating turbulence and will definitely cause instability at high speeds. My inav settings are the same as what comes on the original atomrc 405 wing board and been copied across onto the speedybee 405 wing fc. I cant remember of the top of my head but I think atomrc add there own profiles to all their boards depending on what airframe you buy from them. The only thing I have done regarding the inav tuning is an auto tune but no PID’s adjusted from what came on the board. I can still give you a copy of the PID’s from my board if you want? Hope you get it flying nice at high speeds soon 👍

    • @CptPotti
      @CptPotti 5 місяців тому +1

      ​@@torquedude I bought the kit version of the Dolphin, so I don't have any AtomRC stock settings. So far I fly with the standard Inav settings + the PIDs after the autotune. I would be delighted if you would share the AtomRC settings with me. Maybe that will improve the flight characteristics a bit.
      The Dolphin is my first RC airplane, so I still have a lot to learn. The only external attachment I have is my complete O3 air unit. However, I would like to keep the air unit outside, as cooling is otherwise very difficult. The bouncing only occurs in Acro / Horizon mode, in manual mode my Dolphin flies well even at high speeds. Since I mainly use my Dolphin for cruising, I want to get a good tune for the stabilized flight modes.

    • @torquedude
      @torquedude  5 місяців тому +1

      Hey ttucker2073, it depends on a number of factors such as airframe weight, motor and propeller combo and battery size. If you are building a custom dolphin it’s best to configure the launch settings to suit your own airframe by holding it vertical and finding the sweet spot on the throttle where it just about wants to climb. Mr D - falling with style does a great video on the above technique. The auto launch for my build is 1750 but bare in mind my airframe is much lighter than standard with a high kv motor. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment 👍

    You’re not testing the true speed of the actual aircraft if you’re diving, anything can dive and go faster and from any height can get more speed. Yes, it’s a fast plane or wing whatever you wanna call it. The only thing was that suck about wings is there stability is shit.
