Great content, amazing videos! My AR Wing Pro arrived yesterday. Yes, I'm a newbie. I watch your videos 2-3 times to ingest all your timely information.
Only can but wonder.... if you get bored.. you never have no problems or excitement?? no almost crash.. no lost of signal... no electronic background noise!!! every single flight is perfect, I do hope you don't turn around one day and say well I have achieve what is possible and quit to go and become a base jumper or try to star to my six-copter quad skateboards!!!
LOL I do have a fun project coming for this spring/summer, should be a bit more exciting if it doesn't kill me. In all seriousness though I just like to fly, as long as we're allowed to fly, I'll keep flying.
Thanks 👍 It definitely looks to be efficient, should see some long flights coming from these wings... lol I could put in a 4S2P pack of 18650s and have more capacity and less weight. Probably be fine with a 10000 pack assuming it will fit.
Keith, you took off with a bad AHRS/EKF warning and latter, high VIBS until throttle was reduced...might check that....and since you dont have a compass, the yaw axis is not initialized until you get good GPS heading info at some speed....the 90 roll was because you threw it with a lot of nose up pitch...it recovered quickly, got good EKF and set the takeoff heading and loiter point off to the right of where you expected it....
Yup, you beat me to it. A compass on the builds will keep it pointed in the right direction for take off. I know the Ardupilot docs say you don’t need one for Arduplane but if you’re hand launching in auto take-off it sure helps to make it less exciting. Check your prop balance. I ran into the same vibe issue on a wing this year and it ended up ripping my motor off mid flight. I know they say 30m/s/s is okay, but really it’s way too high for a wing. I was about 20 (lower than the warning threshold) prior to the failure.
@@allisterschreiber9920 However, if you are using master (aka "latest") , there is a very good fallback if no compass is attached (or it fails) called GSF (Guassian Sum Filter) that can provide excellent yaw heading outputs....once initialized....not enough experiments have been done to tell if just trotting around in a circle on the ground with the plane before launch is enough to align the yaw (you will get a message "yaw aligned" or "using gps" when it does) to give enough gps velocity/position estimates to enable the GSF...but with copters taking off and loitering, it will drift a few meters then lock in and align and you can actually fly without compass now...I recently added a wiki page for it as an upcoming feature (one that is in master only, not stable yet)... ardupilot.org/plane/docs/common-compassless.html
Epic M8...lol...Best yet review with a Maiden and Ardu... Today you were Mr Cool on steroids...The overview of MP was interesting, but I missed the full screen FPV video feed...Looks like a great wing, my only gripe would be that you are expected to drop a big GoPro in it to get CG...even with a big 5200mah Lipo...Had to smile as you nearly hit the tree, well held tho....lol.
Yeah, a slightly longer nose wouldn't be a bad thing I think, room to slide the battery up a bit. I guess you could make the best of it and stuff more battery in there... lol 4S2P 18650s should be lighter than the 5200 I'm using, so maybe even worse for CG. Maybe a 10000 pack will fit? Crazy long flights then! lol
@@bonafidepirate Yes, exactly..the Lipo Bay should extend into the nose, so if needed you can choose not to mount a GoPro and fit the lipo 90 degrees to where it is now...Otherwise your forced into a heavy setup with no choice. That said, it looks like it has more wing area than the original?
Another very informative vid -thanks. I am tempted but the noise level worries me since I need a stealthy wing these days since unlike you many of us are near to nosey neighbours-lol!
wow, this is a very nice ground station, looks amazing. I was amazed to see that the basic parameters are good enough for auto launch at first flight. Can you please share the Arduplane param list after auto tune? Can you say something about the center of gravity? Thanks for the help and video.
I want to do a bit more tweaking and tuning to get it dialed in more, but it's close. CG seems like a good place to start, slightly nose heavy but not bad at all. You could maybe get away with moving it back a little but I'll probably leave it where it's at for some pitch stability.
Will have to look at the reciever jumper that you have...that is quite interesting. Would be a good set up for flying in the sub zero temps up here in ND
Tobias, do the stick inputs not work when launching in AUTO with a takeoff command set in the mission? If so that's a good thing to keep in mind. This certainly would have gone different in that case... lol Either way I'm just glad AP was there to save my crappy launch this time. I'll get better with launching wings with some practice, as long as i don't break it first... haha
question i have the same plane but havent maiden yet i want to know did you put some up tilt on the wings so it flys straight in manual mode? or did you leav them level and just fly with your thumb on the stick for the plane to fly level
Hello Keith! I wanted to ask, did you used any kind of video stabilization on the onboard video? It looks so smooth!! Also, which fligh mode were you in while doing the auto tune? It was keeping altitude so well!!
do you raise the plane up several degrees when calibrate level? Noticed the negative pitch when plane on the ground before take off. Will this help the flying?
Great vid showing what Ardupilot is all about, its too much for me - I will stick to my Vectors, but your shed set up is great. How it missed that tree on take off !!!!!. haha.
Hi - great setup - just curious how many radio TX channels you are able to send to RX via DragonLink 900mhz with MavLink? considering crossfile/sbus as alternative supporting 12 channels
Great Flight! Was wondering how you are powering your dragonlink? Are you using the 5v off the servo rail? Also for telemetry did you use rx/tx2? I had issues with my DLink on the F405 until I moved to over to rx/tx2 and used rx/tx5 for gps.
There was some recent talk about powering receivers off the Matek boards in the Dragonlink thread. It's important to note that the "4V5" rail, including the pin next to the SBUS input pin is limited to about 500mA. I wasn't even aware of that until a few days ago... lol That said, since I'm using the standard micro RX (25mW telemetry) and not running any servos off the receiver, I'm OK powering on that 4.5V rail. With the higher power output receivers, or if you're running any servos directly off the DL receiver like for pan/tilt etc. you should power it off the servo rail instead. I'll be doing that once I'm able to use the 1000mW receiver. Telemetry is set up by default on UART1 with the AP firmware for F405-Wing. Of course you can move it to whatever UART you want, but I've connected it to UART1 and it works fine. My GPS is on the default, UART3.
I don't have one installed (yet). The airspeed shown on the OSD is purely an estimate by the FC. (set the ARSPD_TYPE to 0) I did just get some digital sensors from Qiotek though, one of them will most likely make it's way into this plane.
For the AR Wing Pro what size is the analog camera cutout? It looks like mini, is that the same as a full size? I only have micro size 19x19 cameras, should I get a different camera for it?
I have the original Caddx Ratel in it, that's a 19mm camera and it fits near perfect. I just needed a little foam wedge behind the camera to keep it pushed forward, but the cutout is sized just right for it.
Not enough to matter at this frequency. (1.28GHz) If I'm putting in about 800mW, I'll get about 600 to the antenna if I remember the math right. I might lose a mile or so off the max range, but when we're talking double digits theoretical max, I won't notice. ;)
Seeing the Matek f405wing has an output for the Tx 9V, your Tx being 12V, how did you connect it to the Matek or did it go directly to the battery? Nice video !!!!
Would you mind sharing your ardupilot file here? I am planning on setting up my ar wing pro with ardupilot on a f765-wse it’s my frst ardupilot/matek build and it looks daunting :-)
Right, I'm liking the numbers we're seeing with this one. The fact that it will carry a big battery while cruising reasonably fast at low amp draw opens the door for some super long range setups using lithium ion cells. I think a 4S 3P pack of 18650s is going to be the sweet spot. I've got a pack on the way, slow boat from China though so who knows when I'll get to try it out... lol I know a couple of others are already gearing up to try that configuration.
I don't have an actual airspeed sensor, but Ardupilot is able to calculate airspeed based on other sensors available, and does a fairly good job of it. They call it "synthetic" airspeed, and I have it set up using that.
Great maiden, it’s really smooth when compared with other maidens, is that the Ardupilot tune or post processing of the video? I look at how smooth and stable the horizon tilt is and yours is super steady and smooth when compared with Painless 360. Thanks for posting.
There's no post processing anywhere, other than adding the audio to the end after my mic was muted. I record this all in OBS live while I'm flying in the shop.
Great testament to the setup, do you think she would fly as smooth on iNav rather than Ardupilot? Just trying to get a feel for how much is down to the Ardupilot tune/airframe stabilisation characteristics.
Hi your vtx antenna extension is longer than usual. Doesn’t the extra length degrade the signal out strength? I always wanted to install the 1.3ghz vtx closer to the center and antenna at the wing tip but didn’t do it because of this assumption. Thank you
I'm using standard RG174 coax. I don't have a way to measure the actual loss, but theory says I should be losing about 100mW over 1ft of cable, about 0.6db loss. I should have way more range with the 800mW vTX than I need, so a bit of loss shouldn't hurt. If the calculator at maxmyrange is correct, even dropping off 200mW of power I'd only lose about 1 mile of range (from about 13 theoretical max). Of course this is all just theoretical, and I have no way to accurately measure any of it... lol basically, yeah you'll lose some power in the cable, but it's likely not enough to matter for what I'm doing.
Thanks for the AR Wing Pro maiden flight video...we have been waiting patiently .....and your thoughts on the balance point in relation to pitch stability. Need to try this out on my AR 900 .Keep up the good work....good job.
It's hard to say at this point, what you see here in this video is 100% of the flight time I have on this new wing... lol So far though, my impression is that this one is faster for the same amount of power going in, thus more efficient. It seems to fly every bit as smooth so far, but again this is all I've flown it, and it wasn't terribly rough that day. I may still be speaking of the sketchy launch, but to me the Dart XL is easier to launch since it has a "fuselage" of sorts that gives a place to grab it and launch it overhead like a normal airplane. That said, I've never been very good and launching wings, I'll get the hang of this one with some practice... lol I think the Dart XL may be a little more on the forgiving side, either one will be a nice platform though in my opinion.
Thank you for sharing! Is the mAh/km value way off or is it just me? It reports 27-30mah/km! Based on the speed and current draw this does not add up..
I don't have the efficiency showing on the OSD in the video. If you look at some of my other more recent ones I do have it, and I'm averaging about 120mAh/mile, or 75mAh/km
@@HeraklionFPV That's right, I just skipped back through the video and see what you mean now... lol I didn't remember setting that up to show in MP. It's definitely not adding up right though.
I'm building the same setup only difference is that I will be putting GPS with compass on F405 + ezUHF + arduplane on this AR WING PRO. I know it's not good to ask for param file because each plane behaves differently even they're the same model but I know what I am doing, I just don't like inav period. I'm asking for param file because I just want to make sure I have the same settings as yours on your maiden. Planning to maiden mine also on auto take off) Care to share your param file with me? I would appreciate it a lot!!
Hey bonafide, I noticed you haven’t flown much the talon gt, I like it on my side, would you agree to sell it to me to a reasonable price? I would pay the shipping as well, just want to have one as spare for parts
the TECS_CLMB_MAX and TECS_SINK_MIN/MAX must be correct at MAX throttle and idle and idle with full down nose....these are the most important with or without the airspeed sensor....without an airspeed sensor Keith should adjust TRIM_THROTTLE for that 5A point he wants to cruise at and then adjust the AHRS_TRIM_Y so that level flying in FBWA attains with that throttle does not climb or sink...that should help a lot
Thanks ATXHELI for the tips! I need it... lol I still have a LOT to learn about Arduplane, looking forward to progressing and figuring things out as I go! I'm already loving it though for sure.
I haven't seen that discussion, but haven't been on the forums much either. That said, I haven't had that problem with the older AR, and didn't notice it here with the new one either. What you see here is 100% of the flight time I have on this one. Did you see any pitch bobbing in the video?
They're both good! lol I'd hate to be limited to just one, luckily we're not. Pick the one that has the features you want, and runs on the hardware you want, that's the biggest differences.
I hate the fact that you have an updated version of Google maps!! Mine shows an old version of almost 9 years ago!! I don't know why they refuse to take a new picture....
It's actually pretty quiet, certainly nothing unusually loud. The mic on that camera (Sony HX50V) is pretty sensitive and there wasn't a lot of background noise. That dog you hear barking was at a house about a half mile away. ;)
Not really, normal levels for Dragonlink when running auto-power on the older firmware. The warning level in the OSD is set too high, forgot to set it. ;) With this setup I've tested all the way down to single digit RSSI and still have solid control. I'm running the Nov. 2019 firmware to avoid the bug in the latest ones just released, when using the radio modem feature. Hopefully that will be fixed soon, if it hasn't already. I haven't checked the thread today to see.

Are you using a ground station ?have you problem between GPS and 1.3ghz vtx?
So were you just using ground speed for rtl speed etc? Sounded like it was ramping up and down as it circled in the wind, or was that Doppler effect?
I don't have an actual airspeed sensor, but Ardupilot is able to calculate airspeed based on other sensors available, and does a fairly good job of it. They call it "synthetic" airspeed, and I have it set up using that.

I'm confused, are you using the INav telemetry in the mission planner live? I didn't think that was possible.
Nothing iNav here, it's all Arduplane. It's a Matek F405-Wing with Arduplane firmware.

If possible, please run it at like 8Amps or close to 60mph ... to see how much amps it draws..
I'll make a note of that and try to fit that into the next flight!
What is better inav or ardupilot?
They're both good! lol I'd hate to be limited to just one, luckily we're not. Pick the one that has the features you want, and runs on the hardware you want, that's the biggest differences.
Is it DJI air unit here, on front?
mentions a caddx ratel in the vid, not Digital
I hate the fact that you have an updated version of Google maps!! Mine shows an old version of almost 9 years ago!! I don't know why they refuse to take a new picture....
If that was 5A in hold over the Rally Point I don't ever want to hear that wing at wide open throttle.
It's actually pretty quiet, certainly nothing unusually loud. The mic on that camera (Sony HX50V) is pretty sensitive and there wasn't a lot of background noise. That dog you hear barking was at a house about a half mile away. ;)
Lee from painless 360 helped design it so if you need help I am sure he will be happy to help

low rssi
Not really, normal levels for Dragonlink when running auto-power on the older firmware. The warning level in the OSD is set too high, forgot to set it. ;) With this setup I've tested all the way down to single digit RSSI and still have solid control. I'm running the Nov. 2019 firmware to avoid the bug in the latest ones just released, when using the radio modem feature. Hopefully that will be fixed soon, if it hasn't already. I haven't checked the thread today to see.
