That was really quite cool! I've been thinking about building something like this for many months. I started researching the idea a bit and I found your video. I really enjoyed that! Really well done!!!
Hi there, thanks so much, If I was to do this again I might make a small mini quad size one for fun and that way using smaller batteries plus being quite nimble
Hi, no mixing on radio, the firmware was custom made for me at the time by Airbox32, here is a link with firmware etc www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2914402-BiCopter
@@kermets Thanks for that! I see that the Inav hex file is 1.7.1. Would you know if there is a way to get in touch with Airbox32 to see if this hex would need updated?
excellent! i've never seen a vertical mounted controller before! how does iNav know how to control the servos???? Russ from Coral Springs, Florida, USA
Hi there, You can mount the FC any way you like you just need to change its alignment in the iNav configurater eg. Roll -90.0 Pitch 0.0 Yaw 90.0 that was the setting as you saw in this video, Ive had to put FC level now as the Mag setting in iNav arnt customise to cope with my board this way The servos and controlled from the normal PWM outputs and act like the rear motor on a tricopter but two, Also had some custom firmware written by Airfox32 for Bicopter as it isn’t supported in iNav yet, I have changed motors and added 13 inch prop just waiting for fine weather to do a update,Cheers
Sorry Adam, missed your question, yes its open source,I had help with this as iNav at the time did not support BiCopter and not sure if it still does or may have been just my omnibus board cant remember. try iNav, or if you have a omnibus F3 I will find a way for you to download, cheers Brett
did you check out link for rcgroups? it has firmware to download there, 90 is mid position correct ? why would you have servo in any other position......
Yes servo mid is 90. But in bicopter, when motor propeller is parallel to earth surface,at that time what is the servo degree position & what is its maximum tilt degree?
Fast forward to 4:20 for takeoff
5:50 for crash
rest is abit boring as Im testing for first time

@@kermets do you recall if there was any sort of mixing in your transmitter? I'm just wondering how the model yaws.

@@kermets Cool! Thank you for that! I hope to have something functional within the next few weeks. Just waiting on parts to arrive

a flying scarecrow! amazing!
Great maiden, lovely scenery and an awesome landing. Definitely on the right track
Hay thanks heaps. more work than I was planing but fun learning
Could be converted into a really scary Halloween thing....
Agreed would be great witch shape etc....
Awesome ! Pretty cool and it's flying really good. Thanks for sharing mate !
Hi there, thanks for looking mate....alot of fun....need new design for 13" prop version so ive found
Awesome indeed! Well done sir.
Cheers thanks heaps
Oh, it is bit scary to watch how it dangling toward you. Seems too sensitive on one axis. I thing that PIDs should be different for each axis?
Yes and maybe fly in Angle mode next time first to slow down stick inputs
Hello. I just came to give the channel a force. hug.
Hay Matey......Cheers for that.....
Can't believe what I just see ... Good job l'an ;f
hay thanks heaps.....its a work in progress

Is this firmware available to the public? I have a bi copter sitting on my shelf that I could never get to work with betaflight or cleanflight.

I found a way to upload the firmware sorry for the delay.

What is the mid position (degree) of servos?
Should be 90 degrees
Oh what is its flight time
Are you sure servo mid pos is 90 degree??
did you check out link for rcgroups? it has firmware to download there,
90 is mid position correct ? why would you have servo in any other position......
Yes servo mid is 90. But in bicopter, when motor propeller is parallel to earth surface,at that time what is the servo degree position & what is its maximum tilt degree?
Bro can you sent me the code and actual processes how to make it bcz I need to submit the project for my collage ... Can you please sent those details
Yep....all the info should be here in the Blog
