Thanks a lot. That for 1 year, I had been waiting about this anyone show description with real build.
You are welcome! :)
Great video, so nice to have this information in one place. I'm aching to try this myself. Thanks!!
Glad you like it! :)
just setup a tailsitter following your video. wohooo
Awesome! Good luck! :)
Wow, that really looks promising. This seems so much more straigthforward than the complicated tiltrotor vector yaw stuff. Did you test what the maximum possible gear weigth is (Big Long Range Li Ion Battery?).
Also I would recommend to not level your mic quite so high. In some passages the audio is clipping and creating a kind of ringing which is quite uncomfortable to listen to.
Have not tested max weight... but these motors also would have hard time dealing with that, looking to get some upgrades at some point, and might load it up a bit more then! Actually the mic is not at fault here! I usually record my audios using a Rode mic connected to my phone... but lately it started doing this! When I move over to the tablet, works fine, go back to phone... does that... no idea why! Tried reinstalling the app... no change! Guess I will stick to the tablet for the time being!
Thank you so much Arx! I was waiting for this!
You are welcome! :)
@Gene Burd Yeah no one cares. You need to sort out your trust issue with her. Not hack her accounts.
@@ZED-PV Don't mind those freaks, its just spam!
With the release of the new Eclipson model… they are linking to THIS video. It makes me so excited about a tail sitter. It does remind me, though… I’d love to jam out some ideas for an intro song/jingle for you. What kind of music do you like?
Oh man... sorry to be getting to these comments just now! :) Job well done though! :P
Great video, well done!
Thank you! :)
Great content thank you for sharing this looking forward to your next one take care
Thanks! Coming soon I hope!
Nice job!! Oddly UA-cam unsubscribed me from the channel
Thanks! Weird indeed!
Thank you 🙏
You are welcome!
What is about CG of TailSitter? Should it be just in place of usual airplane?
It should be balanced as a plane.
Awesome video....Thanks for sharing. You got my sub. Have you found any small cameras (Runcam sized) that have Image Stabilization built in?
Thanks! Hmmm... I am not sure! I think the GoPro Session cameras do have stabilisation... but they are cube shaped!
could you make any twin prop plane fly vtol? to take off and land like that?
Hmmm... not sure about ANY... but with some mods possibly a good deal of them can be! Mostly flying wings lend themselves to such things due to the design and lack of tail.
How is the GPS placement in the aircraft ? Can it be placed in any direction and does it position affects hover flights ?
I have placed it so that it sees the sky when in plane mode. In hover mode it still sees half the sky, and I have not noticed any issues with positioning.
Спасибо, все четко
Awesome! :)
Can you show us how you built your 4s2p pack? I have made several packs but not one with end to end set up.
Well I do have a video on how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/URId4Me_Kag/v-deo.html ... did not make one for this battery specifically because it is pretty much the same process!
@@ArxangelRC Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have made several batteries like your video, but are you bending the tabs together after welding
to make them end to end?
For the join in the middle, yes! Once they are welded, I carefully bend them so I can make the pack long!
@@ArxangelRC
Perfect, thanks!
You are welcome!
Great vid
Thanks!
nice - going to give it a go :-)
Cool! Good luck!
off topic but.... any thoughts on immersionrc ghost and 1.2/1.3GHz VTX interference? I have been hovering around buying 1.3GHz video but wary of interference with 900Mhz rc (Crossfire/R9) - cant seem to find anyone who has tried and reported on it. Cheers
Well... I've only heard of it, but have not looked into it or tested it... so can't really comment at this point! :(
Good job👍
Thanks!
will the procedure remain same for a quadrotor biplane?
For the most part, yes! There will be a difference in output channel mapping and some if the params regarding frame type and motor configuration.
Hello ArxangelRC, would you please help me with this VTOL setup?
I have Matek F405-WTE controller(flashed 4.2.3 Ardupilot) and can't do proper ESC calibration:
I tried both options, described in Ardu documentation (with Q_ESC_CAL param) and also tried your way from "HOW-TO Matek F405 Wing" video
Yet I have 2 problems:
even before I arm a plane, I get full throttle in Manual and Stabilize mode, not in QStabalize however.
when I arm, I get some throttle even if stick is totally down.
I tried to adjust offset in mixing in radio, but this didn't help.
In radio calibration tab, throttle bar never goes below 1500, even after calibration.
Servo output are follow:
ThrottleLeft
ThrottleRight
ElevonRIght
ElevonLeft
, all levels are same: min=1100, max=1900
channels in radio are defined as follow:
1 Ail
2 Ele
3 Thr
4 Rud
8 SD switch
Would really appreciate any help or hint, as I stuck with this for already quite long time.
Thank you
Actually you have to do the calibration only once, in manual mode, does not have to be in another mode!
Hello, where did you connect front motors and servos? which signal pads i mean?
Whichever you chose, because in setup you can program any output for them.
Somebody knows, what i did wrong, when i cant see a Q_enable parameter at all? I can see in the Param Tree PTCH2SRV and RALLY, but not a Q parameter.
Wrong arduplane version...?
Arx, do you think is it viable to scale up your aircraft to carry a person?
Scaling up or down a given model without knowing what you're doing usually results in tons of issues... at the very least! I guess it can be done but somebody will have to design it, who knows what they are doing!
I want to build a vtol using a f405 wing flight controller. Can i make one without a gps and without a compas? I don't really care about autopilot or return to home, i just want the vtol functionality.
Hmmmmm... perhaps you should be able to! Don't see why not! Would have to use QHOVER though, as it is the mode that doesn't use the GPS to hold position.
Very nice.
Thank you!
Do you have a video on setting radio controls for a Px4 firmware settings using QGC for a Talon or any fixed wing
Sadly no... also I don't use QGC!
Do you think F405 will still sufficient for Qplane/VTOL plane? Well, it's an old model and people now seems switching to F7 or H7 based controller
I think it should work! Try it, got nothing to lose anyway!
Nice video.
Does it require a compass to work? That is in Qhover/stabilized
Yes, any hover mode requires a compass to work accurately.
@@ArxangelRC Alright. Thank you.
When you say accurately, does that mean that it will work without a compass but large drifts and pitching?
@@ezonigs3107 Can't be certain to be honest, I've never tried it without one.
@@ArxangelRC alright. Thank you very much.
@@ezonigs3107 You are welcome mate.
Hi bro, in which part of ardupilot do you add the fpv camera servo angle change?
I programmed this in the radio, not in ardupilot.
Awesome! So for take off and landing you use QLOITER fligh mode, correct ? Thank you very much in advance
Yes, that is correct! You can also use QSTABILIZE, but that mode doesn't use the GPS for position hold, and I prefer the plane not to drift away when I take off or am trying to land.
@@ArxangelRC thank you very much! I will try with Qloiter at first
@@albertomazzanti8510 Sure! Good luck!
@@ArxangelRC unfortunately I was not able to test 😅 ... when I switch in QLOITER / QSTABILIZE the motors are armed but don't spin. What could be the problem ?
When I start with STABILIZE, I am able to arm the motor with the switch (I have set this arm solution) and when I raise the throttle the motor spin. If switch to QLOITER/QSTABILIZE the motors stop (but the system is still armed).
@@albertomazzanti8510 Hm... that is weird indeed... I am actually not sure... the problem seems familiar... I can't quite think of what the solution was!
pleas make video for setup quadplane on ardu
I do not have a quadplane...
Hello! How much autonomy do u get?
I think about 30-40 mins would be possible with the right battery!
07:34 - what is servo 6 doing?
Its for the camera servo - swings the camera up or down during transitions, so that it is always looking forward!
how does Q loiter work when the gps is side on to the sky?
Even to the side, it still has enough sats to keep position!
Hi Arxangel . Can you help me.. I have a apm 2.0 board , and want to know if its possible to load the VTol setup on it ? I can seem to find the q parameter under the Full parameter tree. Can you maybe email me your parameter list ? Kind regards
I am pretty certain the APM hardware does not support VTOL.
@@ArxangelRC what other flight controllers support the VTol ? The Matek controller is very expensive here in south Africa , and shipping from Aliexpress cost almost 3 times the price of the controller
@@francoduplooy4407 Damn... that sucks! Well the Matek FCs are the cheapest options that will allow you VTOL capability, and have enough outputs for it.
@@francoduplooy4407 No local distributors of such parts?
@@ArxangelRC local distributors are out of stock an last price on website was $127
Why do I feel Im being scolded for something ? LOL
??! Would you care to elaborate?
Sir you should also give save file of parameter in your video so that vs wala only run that file in arduino pilot and its software should be setup
Replied to this comment in another video!
@@ArxangelRC which video?
@@420weedguy Well... in the another video where this guy had asked the same thing.
Will it work with omnibus F4 pro?
Not sure! It has enough outputs for this setup... but you will have to check if that is the full firmware with the VTOL part of the code in there!
is a new version or similar tailsiter nowdays ?
Well... I have not seen anything new in terms of tailsitters to be honest, or a new version of this one. The T1 Ranger comes in a VTOL configuration - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlGyl93 - and seems to be a pretty decent VTOL, I am converting mine currently! There are also the HEQ Swan - store.hequavtech.com/products/swan-k1-pro-base-platform - and HEQ Voyager - store.hequavtech.com/products/swan-k1-pro-fpv-goggles-combo - tailsitters... but then the price is in a whole different bracket and the flight controls are different from a regular taisitter.
@@ArxangelRC the aliexpress link is dead and the others are just winged quadcopter what loose all the advantage of bicopter
@@ArxangelRC i found a 2 motor wing tailsiter for pro at 15k$ but im searching more a simple gps fpv modele as the T-5 flashman that never come out really or was stoped quickly
@@ArxangelRC en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingtra_WingtraOne
@@omnianti0 Weird, the Ali link opens for me! As for the Wiki link, not sure I've seen something like this, hobbygrade, available anywhere... end of the day, you could try to DIY build it... lots of people have done DIY builds for this as there are not many commerically available options that don't cost and arm and a leg.
betaflight, mass disc gyro flight leveling
if you think a plane as quad copter, with no auto-level, you have continuous control without loss
Could be... have not tried it.
If inav adds tailsitter support ill build one. Ardupilot is just too clunky for me
Sure! :)
