- Chill and watch as I build and then fly a HeeWing T1 Ranger FPV plane.
This plane is equiped with a INAV autopilot and GPS for return to home, as well as a camera and video transmitter for FPV flying.
Flight time with a 1350mah lipo battery is around 20 minutes. With a 3000mah Li-ion battery I suspect you'd get close to an hour. This plane would be great for long range!

Absolutely one of the best build videos that I have ever seen! Love how you kept it very fast paced, but with detailed text so that someone could follow along building their plane.
Another great build log. You are pretty much the master of these now and the benchmark for ALL others. Very well done my friend.
Haha, not sure I'd go that far, but I'll take the compliment. Thanks! :D
That desktop background xD!
I always try to find a funny one :p
Work of art. Super clean build, plus attention to detail is amazing!! 😎
Giz:
Enjoy is an understatement! This video with the professional photography, composure, color saturation, short succinct text comments, was a study in efficiency and clarity! You are the BEST!
I was on the fence about this plane, as a retired fixed income narrow budget senior, but your example convinced me this is probably the best designed plane since the ZOHD Dart & Drift, well worth its expense, and its functional capability is greater.
I did have difficulty reading the labels on your OSD parameter positioning. Could you include an outline of that setup in your text description at the end?
The most important question is, Did your build achieve
Glad to see you back, the build is super clean good job
Thanks. I actually thought it looked a bit of a mess lol. Really struggled to get the wiring tidy on this one
Great video - makes it easy for the rest of us! Appreciate the last seconds showing that even the Pros have issues some times.
Such a clean build!! And she seems to go allright!
Thanks. It fly's great! :D
Because of your videos I bought 2 of them, a classic grey and the VTOL model with FC. Great job and outstanding quality videos.
I just used this video to build mine! The 3D printed parts were a nice touch thank you so much. Now to look at how to configure INav for it. Wish me luck! new sub 👍
I love your build video, very satisfied to watch!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
sooo clean and good use of 3d printed parts wow!
Обзор без слов и рекламы? Это лучшее что я видел. Спасибо Автору за эту работу.
Thank you ❤️ Really helpful!
as always a very neat and nice build
Thanks :)
i like it, awesome build!
I also enjoyed this build video. And I look forward to the next build video~!
I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully be another one soon :)
You made a cool video. I like the music. Good aircraft build.
Good job bro, fantasty build
Thanks man :)
Fab build vid as usual, and great flight! Thanks mate! I thought of using the F411WSE in mine but it lacks blackbox functionality, so it’ll have to be the F405!
Cheers mate. Yeah I was originally hoping to use a FC with a cam switcher, but everything is out of stock atm, so the F405 WSE was the only viable option for me. Seems to work well enough though :)
Love it! great work. Thank you..
Glad you liked it :)
Perfect timing, got one en route. 👍
I don't think you'll be disappointed :)
The cleanest of builds!! Without this step by step guide (which im following almost exactly) I would be struggling to build my T1. Mine won't be as clean as yours but at least with the help of this video ill be able to get it in the air. Please keep doing these style of vids as they are some of the best around and really help noobs like myself get into this amazing hobby.
I'm glad the video is helping :) I was a noob too once, and it was the lack of decent tutorials that inspired me to start making my own lol
Amazing build! I am thinking of picking this aircraft up and building it up as well.
You should! It's a great little plane :)
Hi Giz! Great video, would you be able to do another short video/explanation on how you set up INAV for this model? I'm new to INAV and need help!
Thanks for the high quality video! I'm just getting into the hobby. I wouldn't know how (or have the equipment for doing) to do any of the custom mods that you did. Very fun to watch though.
Beautiful build, dude! Nicely done! 😃
I need to get a kit for making those connectors as well! They're really useful!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks man. Yeah it's absolutely worth paying to get a crimp tool and some crimps. They arent expensive, and it makes it much easier to make your builds clean and tidy :)
Again another great Build Giz you never cease to amaze me they are always so clean . LOL on the spar oops. Looking forward to when mine gets here most likely to set it up the same way you did .
take care
Thanks man! I don't think you'll regret buying one. It actually surprised me how good it is. I thought it was going to be a bit flimsy and underpowered, but actually it's got plenty of power and is a very capable aircraft. Great fun to do flips and rolls with :)
@@gizfpv do you have the STL for 3d printed parts such a great Idea
@@MrZeek101 Yeah man, there's a link for the 3d parts in the video description 🙂
@@gizfpv thanks Giz
great video, was going over the wiring diagram confused about the esc and motor setup? i want to put matek 411 in my t1, I see s1 s2 are for the motors. but do you need 3 pins to feed the S5vG or just the signal and ground, from the flight controller?
Nice!!! FINALY!!!
Thank you bro 👍🙂
Lol, your desktop 😂
Haha I thought that might get people's attention :p
I nearly spit out my drink when I saw that ending. I've done it myself.🤣
Glad I'm not the only one! lol
Hello.I have the pnp version and I am building it with an f411 wing. I would like to ask why for the escs except from the signal and ground they have a 5v wire?
Did the exact build about 8 months ago and have to say I’ve enjoyed it like crazy. Although the TBS VTX antena sucks!
I just notice you installed the propeller like I would’ve done in a regular bimotor plane, rotating inwards. But the manual says to install them rotating outwards. Do you know why is this ?
Awesome wish I had the skills to do this. I would love a FPV plane.
hi.. on matek f405wse manual it has red notice that dont conect 5v from esc to vx pad.. im a bit confuse right now.. should i just plug everything to the pin or trust the matek notice? because matek said the board already has 5/6v bec for servo.
Yes, trust what Matek says. DON'T connect the 5v from the ESC to the FC, you'll burn up the FC if you do
I don't see the 2 vents you used in the video amongst the 3d printed parts.
Do you mind sharing where you got them?
Great build video! Mines almost in the air!
really clean build.where can I find stl for those mini staples?
Nice wallpaper )
Where'd you find those staples? Such a clean build! Mine is taking forever, but I'm putting an Air Unit in it, and I have finally given up on the stack of 2200 lipos i was hoping to use with it, they're just too long.
hello would it be possible to have the cli? thank you
What an amazing clean installation (4:26). Great detail on the antenna mount/guard at 3:07. Much love given to 3d printed mods in this build. Your assembly techniques really inspire some great build ideas.
"T1 flew way better than expected" (7:53). Great to hear as I wait on the mine to be delivered in a couple weeks. It would be interesting to hear how the T1 compares to other planes you've flown. Perhaps off-topic in this build video, but might be a topic to consider touching on in a future video.
Having enjoyed some T1 acro (8:08), and reporting 20 min on 1350mAh (8:21); are you planning T1 as fun freestyle wing, or will you consider trying some longer range flying? Hopefully will see you explore capabilities of each type of flying in future T1 video.
Nice use of handy "pinky" stuff, it's a star in this video 2:25, 2:31, 2:41, 3:46, ...
Note: if remove the landing gear, you'd likely be able to fly 10+ km/h faster (8:12). ;)
Thanks for your comment. Yeah the T1 flew much better than I expected. Because it's quite a small aircraft and the motors are also quite small, I expected it to be a bit flimsy and underpowered but it turned out to be anything but. I don't think you'll regret getting one :) I'm hoping to try a long range flight with mine at some point using a Li-ion battery. I reckon it'll get close to an hour's flight time with a good pack, which will mean it'll fly for miles. Haha yeah the pink-tac stuff is a great tool to use when building. I don't just use it to hold wires out the way, but also to hold things in place when soldering. Much cheaper than a pair of helping hands haha. And yeah you're probably right about the landing gear - tbh I don't know if i'll keep mine attached permanently, was just a fun novelty to try :)
@@gizfpv ♥️😎👍👍
Looks like the punch-outs were peaking around 25ish amps. Do you think we can get away with 14ga battery wire and XT30?
Hi Giz been watching some of these videos on the heewing like many other people it’s really helping me out with my build I’ve never messed with FPV before I fly big airplanes and jets so this is all new to me someone out at the Field showed this to me and here I am watching your videos and of course trying to put one together which leads me to my question about your 3-D printed parts especially the tray for the electronics and looking all over the place to see where to get one so far no luck I’m hoping you or someone else that reads this will know where to get these parts also to complicate things a little bit for me and putting the Votel kit in mine thanks a lot for putting these videos on it really helps a lot of people like myself really appreciate it if you know where I can get those parts you can just post it here and I’ll see it thanks again Steve
Hey man, I'm glad my videos are helping you out :) Firstly, I'm not sure if you've seen, but I actually have a step by step build tutorial for the Heewing T1 VTOL. If you haven't watched it, check it out :) As for the 3d printed parts, not sure where you are in the world, but it shouldn't be too hard to find someone local who does printing. Certainly where I live there's no shortage of people with 3d printers who are willing to do a few prints for cheap. If you have any local facebook groups I'd try asking in there. If not i'm sure a google search will link you to a company somewhere that can do the parts for you :)
@@gizfpv OK so yeah trust me I’ve watched every one of your videos especially on this particular aircraft I don’t know the first thing about FPV but I have been flying the bigger planes for a while along with jets if it wasn’t for my buddy showing me the stuff in the first place I probably would’ve never had an interest in it but I thought it was pretty cool looking through those goggles so now I’m just waiting on the conversion kit should be here any day now and I have seen your video on the complete bill my buddy did not have that 3-D printed tray and his that just really tidies up the whole plane if you ask me so I’ll keep looking I thought maybe somebody online would see this and maybe say something I’ve looked quite a bit haven’t found it yet but I’ll keep looking and keep putting those videos out like I said I’m watching everyone of them and I wanted to say I really appreciate you getting back to me as quick as you did a lot of guys I’m here don’t really do that thanks again Steve
Hi Giz, A few questions (1) You show all 3 ESC leads x 2 connected to the FC, instead of just the signal line for one of the ESCs. OK? (2) STL source for the top rear vent? (3) STL source for cable staples? Thank you and kind regards!
Good video! Is there any voltage on the red wires coming from the ESCs? Normally one does not connect those to the flight controller.
Good question, and one that I asked myself whilst doing this build. The answer is that there's no voltage happening on the red wires. The red wire doesn't even connect to the esc. I think in the factory they just couldn't be bothered to remove the red wire from the wiring loom lol
Can this plane fit a 4s 21700 cell pack ?
What other FC will also work for this build. MATEK F405-WSE FC is out of stock! Thank you for your amazing videos!
At the moment the Matek H743-WLITE FC looks to be the best alternative. Almost the exact same dimensions as the F405 WSE
@@gizfpv thank you!
Thanks for this beautiful build, i need help for inav can you help me ? We cant see it un your vidéo :(
Fab build 👌iv got one on the way where can I find the stl files for the 3D printed parts ?
There's a link to download the 3d print files in the video description :)
Holy shiz this music makes me think of some other music I've forgotten about.
A mix of a group of guys humming with the same gusto that the beat goes in this song too. Crap I'm writing this comment so I can hopefully remember what the song was called without it poofing away as I try to think of it.
It's the type of song that gets locked in your memory that makes you zone out into total bliss when you hear it just before bed. I hope it's buried in a spotify playlist.
That was it too. No words spoken, and just electrical sounding edgy but soft sounding guitars playing. With more prominent single strand guitar string plucks for the drawn out uuuuwaaaaah With low hums.
This comment made me laugh haha, did you figure out what song it was yet? :p
@@gizfpv Not yet. I was hoping to find it last night browsing my liked videos, and other saved playlists on youtube first before trying spotify as my last hope. My greatest fear is it's not on spotify.
I have 2,200+ liked videos, and I made it to the 800's before stopping for bed. Rediscovered some good memes, but holy cow I've become super fixated on finding out what this song was called.
I remember the song being described by the band as their filler track for when they're between sets. It's nice, layed back, super easy to play, and just a good zoning out song. It has at most maybe a guitar or 2 playing, drums (largely symbols being most prominent), and the bandmates humming.
If memory is correct the album cover art, or the song thumbnail art is of a road with the hollywood mexican shader on it. Like the richer oranges/red hues kind of lighting.
Good lord this hunt is bugging me.
@@firebeardlongfellow5295 Oh wow, I've really sent you on a quest haven't I 😂I hope you find it, I'm really curious to know what it is myself now lol
@@gizfpv I FOUND IT!!!!!
The song is:
Intro - The XX
Here's the link to their video of it if you wanna listen. It's a good mellow tune to zone out to in the background.

Nice I'm going to assemble mine today 😁
Nice. I reckon you'll love it!
@@gizfpv I noticed the foam is a bit flimsy so I laminated it for added strength. I'll try it on the stock motors but I have some 2004 2100kv motors on standby 😎🤙
@@dronepilot260rc I did consider laminating mine, but tbh was just too lazy to do it lol. Be interested to see how you get on with upgraded motors, although the stocks ones do seem decent and not in need of being changed imo
@@gizfpv after feeling the thrust on 2s I may have to keep these stock motors and see how 2s handles. It's been over 2 years since I've flown anything 2s 😁. Laminating this made a nice improvement to the structure of the tail. The wings didn't really need it but went ahead and laminated the wings and fuselage to keep it looking complete 👌
@@dronepilot260rc I bet it does look good laminated :) Yeah I reckon it'll be ok on 2s. Try 4s though, it's like a little rocket lol
How does the flight characteristics of the t1 compare to the Zohd drift? Similar or totally different?
Oh the T1 is way better than the drift. Because it has twin, counter-rotating motors, it's significantly more stable. More powerful too
Hey, do you recommend the T1 or the F01 for smooth video and high speed long range distance? Thanks
That's a hard question. The F01 is great at high speed, but isn't very stable (unless it's really calm weather) and won't fly for long. The T1 on the other hand is much more stable and can fly much longer/further, but it isn't especially fast. If I had to choose I'd say the T1 was the better aircraft, but if you really need speed more than anything then go for the F-01
@@gizfpv Do you recommend the T1 over the Nano drak??
The toe sucking background cracked me up!
Hi, awesome video like always :D, what is your fpv googles and camera setup? :)
Thanks :) I use Orqa FPV goggles with a Rapid fire module and TrueRC antennas. Camera used was a Runcam Phoenix 2 Nano
Thanks :)
genius!
Thankyou :)
Are there any issues flying 4s ?
I thought only 2, 3s would be ok.
4s is fine. Just don't run at full throttle too long as apparently the motors will get hot and melt the motor mounts. Other than that though it's fine
@Giz FPV Thanks ! Ya do great videos bud 👍
Already built mine, but love your style of video. Keep it up.
Thanks :)
Where can I find the files for the 3d printed parts?This build deserves those parts.Thanks
Link to the print files is in the video description
Have you ever considered getting one of those 2400mm wingspan gliders and build a real long-range fpv plane? From what I have seen they can carry enough weight for batteriy packs that 2 hour flight times are realistic and a proper ground station with enough range could allow for 20km range easy. Any chance to see something like that in a future video? Would be awesome.
Building a glider is on my list of things to do this year. I've owned gliders before and they're great fun. Not sure I'd go as big as 2.4m though....as much as I'd love one that big I've got nowhere to store it and it wouldn't fit in my car lol
heck even a little Nanogoblin can go 2 hours as oem. record is 3 hours+. wingspan 580mm, weight 350g in ultra endurance long range config. Many of them have been flown over 20km, including Giz himself with a nanogoblin
hope you will share the .stl files soon... 😉
I've added a link to download the files in the video description :)
Great video cleaver 3d print the gps is really close to the vtx
Yup, but it works perfectly. The key thing is the VTX antenna is nowhere near the GPS
I want one for long range missions
I reckon with a 3000mah Li-ion battery it'll be great for long range! :)
Graham, I love your videos- when are you going to show us how to convert this bird to VTOL? ;-P
In about 2 days. The video is almost finished :p
@@gizfpv amazing! Ardu or inav?
Como realizaría ese drone para trabajos fotogrametricos
ponle a la mida de la barriga un hueco para colocar una camara apuntando hacia abajo como lo tiene el PARROT DISCO-PRO AG
Shit hot build brother, been waiting for this. Ur screensavers crack me up. What's next? Fake Taxi..lol. but seriously. Is this plane any good?
Haha, funnily enough I did use to have a fake taxi wallpaper 😂 Yeah I'd say it's actually very good. Probably one of the best planes I've built so far :)
@@gizfpv ok.cool. thanks.
Whats your settings In inav ? Thanks
I just used the 'airplane without a rudder' preset, then enabled differential thrust for yaw. Other than that all the settings are fairly basic
I’ve heard ppl having problems with differential thrust, did u have any issues?
@@codebluefpv Not really. I've got it working although it's a bit sluggish. I need to tweak the settings a bit to make it more responsive, but other than that it's all good
@@gizfpv is it worth the trouble?
@@codebluefpv It's not hard to do, just gotta enable it and then set the rate. But tbh I rarely use yaw anyway, I yank and bank this plane like I would a wing. Works fine without yaw
6:30 LOL
6:30 lmaooo
Because of course the Duponts are in the spar's way. Becuase of course they are!
6:30 :)
What about the background 6:29 🤣🤣🤣
It's become a reoccurring theme in my videos lol
The plastic around the antenna might detune it
Nah it'll be fine. The plastic is really thin, and besides, back in the old days guys used to cover their antennas in hot glue for better durability, and that never caused a problem lol
