In planks, the center of gravity is crucial-a small shift can cause instability. If you haven’t calculated it geometrically or used CFD, it’s best to perform throw-and-glide tests, adjusting the center of gravity until the flight is stable.
Hi, first of all good job and nice work. But i got one concern, what about the thin Layers of PLA on the wings if the sun ist shining and its a lil hotter? I mean PLA deforms quite fast in the sun.
you should've been more concerned about the ESC heating instead of the sun. But like all flying things go, they experience good cooling. That's why ESCs for flying stuffs can go rated up to 50A without ever coming with a heatsink and 4 of them in a board, and if you look at ground crawlers ESC they all come with some cooling even with the smaller amp rated ones. Looking at this guy's design, there's a whole lot of ducting going on so you don't have to worry about internals heating up either.
At least 220x220x240mm but you can do it with your printer as well. Most elements can be printed; it might be necessary to split one of the wing segments into two pieces.
could you guys put links to the software and hardware used? the instructions are very faint and you dont really go into detail on how to program the planes! please include more instructions please, im a begginer and i dont know what the hell im doing?!
On our product pages, you’ll find user manuals with lists of all necessary materials and electronics, and these same lists are also provided at the bottom of each product page along with links. Our instructions include information on printing, recommended print settings, and filaments, as well as the required bed size and suggested part orientation. There’s also a step-by-step illustrated guide for assembling the plane. In our latest designs, we’ve added a simplified wiring diagram, and eventually, every model will have this-these diagrams will gradually be added to previous projects. As you can see on our site, we use MAVLink flight controllers and ArduPilot software for the electronics. ArduPilot is a fantastic, free firmware that’s continuously developed by creators and the community. The setup and configuration process is universal, so once you understand how it works, setting up additional planes becomes much quicker and easier. However, at first, it’s essential to get familiar with the ArduPilot knowledge base, where everything is explained-from understanding the operation of flight controllers and other components to connecting, configuring, and performing initial flights. You’ll also learn about various fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft configurations. You can expect videos on these topics on our channel in the future, but for now, I encourage you to explore the ArduPilot knowledge base, especially the red tabs: First Time Setup and First Flight and Tuning. ardupilot.org/plane/
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. Hope your weekend was great, our weather is finally warming up to be nicer flying weather. Have a great week.
Great build video!
I only just discovered your website / aircraft. I will be purchasing. I just ordered my PLA-LW filament! Thankyou
Dziękuję i pozdrawiam.
I love this plane since ever the foam version.
I built it almost exactly but I could not get the cg right

If it’s heat you’re worried about go fast, the airflow the wing experiences is far more efficient at cooling than most cooling systems.

Hi...how are you getting the telemetry info on the controller....can you refer nay tutorial..that would help alot
Check for Yaapu telemetry Script
What size of print bed would this plane need? Would it print on a Prusa Mini?
just a question, does the nose of your Stingray wing partially obstruct the view of the fpv camera?
Fajne miejsce do latania. W tle Babia Gora?
@@poohaty dokładnie tak 👏
Are there plans to build a plane with a camera gimbal? Instead of FPV?
What size printer you need to make this? Interested to buy if I can easily make it with 200mm x 200mm x 200mm printer capability.
At least 220x220x240mm but you can do it with your printer as well. Most elements can be printed; it might be necessary to split one of the wing segments into two pieces.
awesome! which fpv camera and antennae are you using?
Walksnail. Stock antennas on VTX, TrueRC on Goggles
how are you getting the mavlink telemetry on the controller?
Check Yaapu Telemetry Widget
can you make a video like this for the stallion and stallion vtol
When you land that plane do you have to replace parts?
You've got to replace the skateboard if you land bad. Same for 3d printed planes.
The blades don’t get damage on landing?
What's the max distance
