That was a incredibly locked in flight, especially the RTL landing at the end. Did you do any specific tuning or change any custom parameters to get it to fly so well? Mine is all over the place during RTL landing
Hey, I am one of your subscribers and I love your videos! The throw was too much in this flight, so the T1 was shaking sometimes. I made some change to parameters and add a Lidar sensor on my T1. I can share you my Ardupilot parameter file if you want it, but just be cautious when using it. And you may want to have a look on my AtomRC Swordfish Vtol video, that's is a much better VTOL platform! czcams.com/video/7N3JlfzprAc/video.html
@@FlyByWireC Ah nice man! Thanks for subscribing 🙂 Have you seen my most recent video then with the T2 VTOL? I was having problems with RTL at the end of the flight. I'm out atm so can't properly look at the param file you sent but will when I get home. But in the mean time, do you know if you changed any settings specifically that related to rth on handling in multi rotor mode? Other than programming in the basic VTOL config stuff I havent changed anything specific and I'm wondering if that's why I'm having issues
@ I just checked your newest video, and thinking maybe you didn't disabled the Q_WVANE_ENABLE,? That will make your plane look for wind direction during landing. Also I think the most important thing is to get the Q-autotune done perfectly, it will enhance the Quad mode significantly, and here is the Dropbox link www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zjczoxdq6y8w0haxunikg/T1-Ranger-VTOL.param?rlkey=mp2tuq0n1pv8y9nrfoyk5rdl5&dl=0
@@captaindronieversefpv But just be cautious when using it, it may brick your FC or cause crashes if you flash it directly, you must know what you are changing! Happy flying
Great videos. I was hoping to get my first vtol. What made you say you liked your swordfish more than the Heewing? Are most people just converting dual prop planes? As I did not see the swordfish vtol kit? I really need 3D printer Also, how do you get colored graphics and dancing skull overlay on OSD? Is this through ardupilot mission planner? I am just familiar with old school analog font OSD. Thanks
Haha, the Swordfish is larger so it's smoother than T1 during flight. I brought Vtol kit from TaoBao China, you won't be able to buy it if you don't have a Chinese Taobao account, but you can mod some Vtol part on Thingivers to fit the swordfish. I mod my DJI with WTFOS to get the OSD colored, but the dancing skull is from video editor😆😆. Yes, I use Ardupilot on my Vtols.😄
I like the idea of putting your hd vtx in the tail but are there any cog issues doing it this way also I like your choice of music, great video thanks.
@@FlyByWireCi saw one he just glued it on the foam, the same spot you have but you can rotate, how i wanted to make one of this, but with movemable camera like you, and i dont know where to get the 360 ° but i think one like this is good enough you can look on the sides. Looks good but i preffer the normal pro, with gear lading, i mean this is more practical but a part of flying is landing and starting. But i kinda like to land and start. Do you have a video showing how to make this build with the camera?

Why? They just need something that can fly to a area fast and give intel/bomb, they have no use for vtol in my oppinion, plus it saves the weight of a motor and a ESC and stuff for more range/flight time, but it is a nice toy :). Also hovering mode, would, in my guess make more noise downwards then if it just cirkles above a target, though hovering would maybe make it less easy to spot it with the naked eye compared to a moving object.. Only plus is, its probably easier to land in rugged terrain..
@@bmsfx nice toy? Have to seen the drones in the Ukraine? A very deadly toy killing tanks which costs a lot more 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks for your reply, have a pleasant weekend and have fun, take care 🍀
@@BornIIfly i think you misunderstand, the VTOL plane is a toy in my eyes, its not really in my oppinion practical for military use. Like, if you carry alot of weight, and are not limited by takeoff space, a regular takeoff is 100% prefered considering power use. If your flying urban areas, between buildings and stuff, 100% quad/tri drone would be prefered. VTOL has limited "unique" uses for military ect, but its fun to play with, i dont see any specific reason why you commercially would need both in one. I do know military has some VTOL planes, but they are used mainly where takeoff space is a limiting factor.

@@BornIIfly Well, its not my thoughts or imagination, its just, well...physics.. but if you can change the law of physics to make it more usable, specially commercial/millitary use, go for it, become a billionaire ;) We are not talking about inventing flight, we are talking bettering it, but if you can change how gravity works, and the power requirements for lifting weight streight up vs flight, who am i to judge how amazing your VTOL system is ;)
Wow, nice! I also like the mounting of the digital VTX on the back with servo. Simple but very powerfull!
Thank you!
Wow. This might be one of the best flying T1 VTOLs I have seen. Thanks for sharing this video! What motors are you using here?
Thank you!It's the heewing FX1806 2000kv motor, I brought their vtol kit.

Nice Video Your engine on the tailboom seems to beep. I would turn off the beeping in Blheli
Oh, Thank you so much for the information, I was wondering why it was doing that😄😄
Awesome.... Excellent job.... I love your videos.... 👌
Thank you Captain! Luckly I didn't have any issue for doing autotune this time😀

You have to cut out some foam and use thin wires to run through the Carbon rod. No issues at all

dji or walksnail
?
DJI Polar Vista
What flight controler u use
F405 Vtol
Whats the all up weight if the plane and also did u try autonomous way point flight and telemetry?
Hey nice video!! Nice camera position!!! May I ask What battery size do you use (lipo or lion?) ? Thanks!
4s li-ion 21700
Awesome ❤
If you recomend one for first vtol long range fpv which one do you prefer T1 or Swordfish ?
Swordfish
