Lee, Re-glue all servos if you'd like to or secure them better. I lost my T2 as result to one of my aileron servo was barely hanging on to the wing. Not enough glue was used and only used on one side of the servo. Ben
Thank you Lee for another great informative video on the T2, as you are I'm also waiting for a break in the weather to maiden this cannot wait to get airborne, good luck as well with your maiden sir!
Interesting video as ever Lee, in particular the SpeedyBee Wing FC, an FC I 'm looking to fit in my AR-Pro Wing. But who would want to purchase the HeeWing T2 over the AtomRC Swordfish!!! Swordfish every time if I was in the market for a twin engined cruiser.
This Flight controller does support sport connection (in 6.1.1). Enable softserial via configuration / enable CPU based serial ports. Set telemetry output to on. After re-booting, in ports the softserial port will appear, set the telemetry on this port to smart port. Use the TX2 (blue) wire from the FC to connect to the receiver sport. Works perfectly for me 1st time.
Excellent video Lee [as usual]. Can't wait to see the maiden. This is going to be the next addition to my hanger. After your maiden [which i know will be successful] I would like to know your INAV settings.😊
Lee, As always you're videos are very informative. I have the same setup as yours Speedy bee F405 with a 4000MAH Li-Ion and AUW is 1851 Grams. I noticed that the control surfaces are too much. I used to add expo etc long time ago in Taranis for the throws. What do you recommend as far as the throws in MM and can I achieve it using INAV to limit the throws without affecting INAV flying mode PIFF configs. I noticed the T2 felt kind of heavy for the current setup and I had to provide plenty of throttle to keep it afloat. I've setup flaperons since I don't have the flap servos from heeding but haven't tried it yet. I'm more of a cruz flyer and don't any sport flying. I appreciate the help. Ben
Great video. I really like my speedy bee fc. The best part for me is to be able to wireless change the Inav parameters with my Ipad out at the field. I relly like this fc😊
I have heard and read discussions on using the magnetometer on the GPS vs not using it since the Speedybee F405 already has one built in. What is your take on that? Can the GPS magnetometer confuse the FC magnetometer, especially during RTH? When I tried to set mine up, the initial model representation in INAV setup screen kept on revolving. When I deactivated the magnetometer, everything was back to normal. I haven't tried RTH on my build yet but eager to try soon. Just wanted to understand the magnetometer logic better before attempting.
Depends on if you're talking about Ardupilot or INAV. A compass properly calibrated and positioned well away from interference is always the best option. If you haven't orientated the compass properly, odd things can happen, see my video on that. Happy flying
Hi Lee. Excellent video. I have bought this flight controller as my first one. A question about flight modes, I’m going to use a crossfire tx on my Spektrum Ix20. Will all the mode switches show up from my ix20 when connected to inav? Probably a basic question but it’s all new to me Cheers
Hi Lee! Thanks for another great video! I have recently built my first fpv using the same controller and a dji system. Regarding the connector you added for the vtx unit, I am thinking of adding a fan on top of some heatsink on the dji o3 to keep it cool while on the ground. However, I don’t see a lot of people doing that. I might be missing something here. Maybe it causes interference or maybe it’s only going to be useful on the ground and cause problems in the air? Could you please tell me your opinion on that? Cheers!
I add a power connector to the HD system so I can power it before I fly. Well designed models allow for sufficient airflow to keep systems cool. With the poor airflow designed into the nose of the T2, they've opted to add a powered fan too... A very odd choice when do many others have done a great job of it with less room... See the AtomRC Pengin.. Happy flying
HI Lee, Thanks for the video. I'm loving my speedybee f405 wing, But I can't get my RTH to work. Starts to nosedive when activated. Otherwise flys great, Obviously checked alignment and calibration. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Lee. Another question as it’s my first FC build. Wire lengths between fc and esc and fc to battery ? I know normal electric set ups but being as it’s through an fc can they be longer ?
Lee. Great video. I would like to transition from my old flysky receivers to either ELRS or crossfire. Do you have any recommendation for either and if so would you be kind enough to send a link?
@@Painless360 I also have an ADQ 880 compass with GPS and I cannot make the MAG, BARO, or GPS sensor to turn blue within Inav. I have followed your GPS trouble shooting video but still cannot seem to correctly get it.
Lee I know this is a hard question to answer exactly but I would just like your experienced opinion! I have only flown 700-800mm vtol wings on Ardupilot with 3-4cell batts so on a plane as big as the T2 converted into a Vtol, how much flight time should I expect to get taking off and landing in vtol mode with the Turnnigy 6s 6200mah batteries you have suggested?? I really have no idea what to expect 🤷♂️ Thanks 👍
My one complaint with the F405-Wing is that dam CRSF connection, every other one is a neat ph style plug and thry they go and shove that horrible connection on the top, other than that, it’s absolutely fantastic as a flight controller, I’ve got one in our “chaser wing” at the club.
@@Painless360 Hello. I just checked with Heewing and they confirmed it will work with 4s at relatively high throttle% with still reasonable amp rating. Will test it when arives. :)

Hi Lee, WoW ! I would love to have one, I like that speedybee F405 wing. Can't wait to see it flying. Thanks for the video.
The Speedybee F405 wing is my absolute favouriteI Priced well with many nice features.
Fantastic video, Lee! 😃
Thanks a bunch for the tutorial and all the info!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
And happy holidays!

But who would want to purchase the HeeWing T2 over the AtomRC Swordfish!!! Swordfish every time if I was in the market for a twin engined cruiser.
The swordfish is pretty efficient for a twin, but has a horrible thrust angle and in general just doesn't fly that well.
@@scottyh72 Thrust angle is an easy fix

I will be sharing my thoughts on this one in the full flying review. Interesting thoughts from you, so thanks for sharing them... stay tuned!

Where can i plug the t2 crusa wings leds to on 405 board ? Great upload, as always as I am.guessing the leds are 12 volt.
Mine didn't have leads for the LEDs... Best of luck

@Lee, I like how clean is your wiring. My Reptile Dragon with Speedybee running Ardupilot is ready for maiden. Yaapu on crossfire is happy ;)
Best of luck with the maiden!
HI Lee, Thanks for the video. I'm loving my speedybee f405 wing, But I can't get my RTH to work. Starts to nosedive when activated. Otherwise flys great, Obviously checked alignment and calibration. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I'd check that the rth altitude isn't set to something very low... Best of luck!
Hi Lee. Another question as it’s my first FC build. Wire lengths between fc and esc and fc to battery ? I know normal electric set ups but being as it’s through an fc can they be longer ?
This is one of the larger models and the lengths for power and signal for battery and ESCs are still fine and work great... Happy flying
@@Painless360 thank you
Lee. Great video. I would like to transition from my old flysky receivers to either ELRS or crossfire. Do you have any recommendation for either and if so would you be kind enough to send a link?
I think that the vast majority of pilots would recommend investing in an ExpressLRS system now. See my playlist all about it.. Best of luck!
How do I get osd info on the speedybee f405 wing using ardupilot, can't seem to get walksnail osd to show up , works fine on inav
I think Mads Tech has a video on that. Best of luck
Very nice aircraft.
I really hope they sell as a kit soon
How did you wire your servos and escs too the speedybee board from the pbd board?
Put the FC between the battery and the PDB... Happy flying
@@Painless360 I also have an ADQ 880 compass with GPS and I cannot make the MAG, BARO, or GPS sensor to turn blue within Inav. I have followed your GPS trouble shooting video but still cannot seem to correctly get it.
hi Lee, do you not need to set the magnetic inclination in Inav now like i used to way back in inav GUI`s
I may disable the compass for the maiden, as I will try and fly on a calm day. Set as per github.com/iNavFlight/inav/wiki/GPS--and-Compass-setup
Lee what exact Battery size do you recommend??
Thanks
I'd use a 3000mAh or more 6s. I got the 6.2Ah 6S pack for this one from HobbyKing - ua-cam.com/video/K8T0toVTHV4/v-deo.html
@@Painless360 Thanks

F405 Speedybee How about an assembly video for putting this together??
Check out my INAV for beginners series. All in there... best of luck
Would the standard set-up work on 4s ? :-?
Maybe, I'm sure some will test that!
@@Painless360 just ordered mine, and will test for sure as I have a 4s 10Ah battery lying at home 😀 …. Will report back for sure !
@@Painless360 Hello. I just checked with Heewing and they confirmed it will work with 4s at relatively high throttle% with still reasonable amp rating. Will test it when arives. :)
can u recommend a smaller aircraft for this fc.
ua-cam.com/video/SByJl32vkpo/v-deo.html covers the top picks... best of luck
nice!!
Get some small raspberry fans. Keeps vtx cool
Shouldn't really have to do this with a well designed plane - good airflow should be designed in
@tubamanandy2 I couldn't agree more. It is like fitting an ice cube maker inside an igloo or sunlamps on Caribbean beaches...;)
Can a regular airplane receiver be plugged in just as easy as the T1? I intend to use the spektrum with as3x vs a flight controller.
I don't see why not... Happy flying
