    Masha Allah, I have not fully implemented iNav on any builds yet, especially now since Ardupilot can run on a similar FC, these are good points to consider especially the ones on GPS, I remember first time testing RTH on a TBS Discovery and Alhamdulillah the joy when it came home safe and sound... thank you brother

    Great instructional video on what really matters to have a safe flight!!! I am so glad I am always so very careful to not make these mistakes you describe here, on my fixed wing builds... I have found the best way to be sure you have gps lock and not mistakenly take off when you are not using your fpv equipment and want to go for a quick flight or if you dont have fpv w/ osd installed yet, is to use only TWO programmable ws2812 led's in series (cut out from the typical strip all we hobbyists get):
    ---->1st led to show you if you are armed or not-very important for people who choose not to have motors spin upon arming (remember that you have to set the auto disarm to 0seconds so it wont disarm when you glide and cut throttle)
    ----->2nd led to let you know when there is 3D fix/gps lock. I manually change the number of "safe to fly satellites" to 9, which is more than enough and a "strict" number so you can always be sure your home position is accurately recorded. Ofcourse you wont have a problem of arming the motors accidentally without 3D fix if you didnt disable extra_arming_safety, but I always keep it off in case I want to test the motor/etc on the bench inside my house in case there is no gps lock....
    Another good advice is to always select "land only on failsafe" for fixed wing setups: in this way, if you have rc trouble (radio dies triggering a failsafe, either because low batteries or other radio problem) your model will not keep flying in circles above you until it crashes uncontrollably after it RTH!!! Now, the land only on failsafe is the best option available given the circumstances since it will try to land your model incrementally in corkscrew circles on the event of a failsafe and of no control regain once it comes back into effective radio range!
    And ofcourse, ALWAYS ALWAYS test for RTH to see it works properly and doesnt rth back to china, before you decide to fly far out and beyond line of sight!
    One more thing you mention, to which I can attest to: It is very important not to do any mixing or reversing or rates/etc on your transmitter!!! You need to make your radio as "dumb" as possible. I cant thank you enough for this phrase which has stuck with me ever since watching your first inav on naze32 videos 2-3 years ago!!! All mixing and reversing is done on the fc through the inav configurator. It sounds like a pretty "default" mindset for correct setups with inav, but believe me there are A LOT of people out there who will argue with you to death that their way (mixing and reversing done on the radio) works as well....... The worse thing is that they insist on "teaching" new users to set their fresh inav builds this stupid and irresponsible way!!!
    Once again, keep teaching us these great things, you are -if not the best- one of the best "rc everything" teachers out there on the internet for all us "loners" who fly and build alone and have no local rc club and members to work with!!!! Happy flying!!!

  • @NoAgendaFPV
    @NoAgendaFPV 5 років тому

    From what I have found over many acft builds with iNav 1.8-2.1 I would suggest reversing the weight values in the Mixer tab rather than reversing in the Servos tab. This is especially valuable when using a flying wing mix that has roll and pitch both on one servo where you could have the pitch command correct but not the roll command and reversing the servo tab would then correct the roll, but mess up the pitch. Where as in the Mixer tab you can reverse only the command that is backward and keep the correct one correct. With a normal plane it isn't as big of an issue since most servos only have one command, but it is a good practice to make the change in the Mixer tab now that it has been made simpler than the old 1.8 configurator. Good video covering some of the simple issues, I would agree from RCG and questions I get on my YT videos that these are easy fixes to common issues.

Then I calmed down and watched your Video again and discovered a mental knot in the head. It was the servo tab and reversing the servos, if all else is ok. I thought I had to reverse BOTH not only one, as pitch and roll were mixed up. BUT, as you said in your vid, reverse one, not both. Reading instructions is of course not a male kind of thing, frustrating obviuosly is :) Thank you for your Patience!

      That is an iNav OSD. The difference is that it is running on a BrainFPV flight controller. See my videos on it.. Happy flying
