Someday when I retire and kids are off to college, I will finally get time to start doing this fun UAV stuff. I have so many projects in my head I'd like to try......dreaming through you for now.
@@EDWARD_KOENIG_ARCHITECT just get started small. I use the evening time when the kids are asleep. Building a foam plane like above goes really well without special tooling.
@cmb8711 the secret is to get our wives involved. Ha ha them we get the green light 😀. It's a great hobby and you meet awesome people who fly radio controlled models.
WOW MAN! That was fun to watch! Both planes looked incredible while flying side by side! I really liked how you showed the LOS landing of each plane. Really nice work buddy!!!!
This looks fun, but it's not really impressive, in that it is just two planes that happen to be flying near each other, and not two UAV's in formation with one setting the path and the other following using onboard sensors, or the planes talking to each other to set the position of the second aircraft. What this does do, is lead us to the question, of whether iNav or ArduPilot FC's can communicate with each other, and can they co-ordinate with each other?
That would be the next step! Having done something similar with 3 multi rotors many years ago, I can tell you how stressful it is to achieve, certainly not trivial.
I had a quick question, I don't think I've seen you make a uav drone like this is may be wrong though! But I wanted to make myself a uav semi autonomous drone that can be piloted, it would be made of fiberglass and the resin would have i think it's 0.3% by resin weight of graphene for added strength, it would have a 4 stroke engine, and I was thinking of using an aurduino or Raspberry Pi mini computer for the flight controls and other operations systems controls, Approximate wingspan of 3-4 meters and length of 2.5-3 meters and I want to make it so it can go anywhere between 200-300 mile, and a radio frequency (RF) communication system for manual control. What do you think would be the best general airframe design for a larger drone such as this? I want it to be able to fly well, have good lift, but also be able to turn well when needed.
Does you propeller ever break when landing. I installed a folding propeller but have not tested it yet but I hope it will be an improvement on having safe landings.
How we can save our props while landing. Props secured with nuts not the rubber secured ones. İs there any way to stop prop/motor parallel to ground before landing to avoid prop crash?
No. 1st UAV was in Failsafe (0% signal) because I changed models on my transmitter, to control the 2nd UAV, which was in (Return to Home) mode. After landing the 2nd UAV, I change the flight-model back to the 1st UAV and landed it too.
@AeroStuffFPV oh i see. Thanks for the clarification. I'm still trying to find a video about Elrs model matching being used on the field and switching multiple planes just by using a switch before trying it out myself.
Really cool! It would be nice if you could say something about the INAV configuration, etc. And: How do you switch to the different planes when landing ? Thx.
Both planes run (6.1.1) iNAV Firmwares on Matek F405/411 Boards When the 1st plane is in RTH/FS, I switch channels on my radio to take the 2nd airborne too. When it’s in orbit with the 1st one doing its loiters, I’m slightly adjusting my throttle, from time to time, to keep it in pace & position. Same procedure follows with landing the UAV’s.
@@StefanNaewe Taranis Radios can save up to +60 Aircraft/Receivers. With that you can select different models ofcourse. It's lik phones, switching calls (leaving the one hanging, until done with the other)
Bruh... impressed. I'd love to see you bring this kinda skillset to Africa!! If I can setup up a business over there... I could use someone in research and development! I even have a printer you could use too!
Epic flights!! Love insight, creative processes and your willingness to share with us your creations !! Those nav lights are remarkably bright, if I may ask whom did you purchase them from? Thanks!
Thanks man!🏆 12-24V Car Lights from AliExpress. I do have a video how I install these on my FPV Builds: ruclips.net/video/gizq-D-WIlw/видео.htmlsi=UFy_99lcZ-YyfHe8
Bro we want this video tutorials: 1: automatic antenna tracker. 2: 3 axis gimbal for GoPro camera. 3: Full tutorial of electronics and programming and flight controller and all functions. Please 🥺🙏🏻
I tried this with DJI drones, tried to do follow the leader with their autonomous modes but background got in the way and they’d lose lock on each other, two mavic 2 and an air.
I have a two questions : one - is it possible to fly only using vtail as a controller surface without ailerons on the wings - plane will be long range mission drone. Second - are you able to make some video as summary on your planes configuration? I mean batteries sieze weight motor type and propeller sets to compare them for efficiency and design to give some guidance for future builds ? Regards
1: The V-Tail controlsurface's impact on roll are nihil, therefore it'll be insufficient to have solid control over your V-Tail Platform, especially in Long Range, where stability in all directions are mandatory. 2: I already uploaded plenty videos on these FPV Planes, providing sufficient information in performance, setup & design. Here is one of them: ruclips.net/video/2gwtjqAywHQ/видео.html
@@aleksandertarnawski I got no favourites yet, I love them all equally. The one coming next (FPV Racer) might do +250km/h and could be my favourite. We'll see how that works out.
Most ESCs have a “brake” feature which stops the prop from ‘windmilling’ through the air to prevent damaging prop-strikes upon landing. Never broken a prop in that way.
Try balancing it with your fingers. I use 1 finger on each side of the wing that way I see if it is either nose or tail heavy. The place were you want your center of gravity depends on what your wing looks like, you can look it up.
Dude excellent execution! Been looking for a design for a larger UAV that is capable of carrying a mapping camera. Doesn't have to be a VTOL but could be. Any ideas?
Thanks! I’m onto it as well - might build a bigger version of the V-Tail Pusher w/ landing gear & flaps & 6S Batteries. But for buying a kit, I’d suggest to look up ArxAngelRC - He features the Fixed-Wing Platforms you’re looking for, with gimbals etc…
This is really cool. Does Denmark have any regulations for flying multiple UAS at the same time like we have in the US with Part 107.35 ? This would take a bit of paperwork and a Waiver to do in the US.
@@AeroStuffFPV Interesting. In the US, one pilot flying multiple UAS at the same time is prohibited. That said.. I did it some years ago, before FAA explicitly regulated UAS. Two aircraft, one controller, both FPV, one semi-autonomous. YT search "Daemon Relay".
I crashed mines on january 1st 😢 (volantex Ranger1600) while trying a tailwind landing. I had too much speed trees all around me and an enbankment. I could not do a headwind landing since there was an enbankment higher than my line of sight it would have resulted in a too steep descent so my only option was to co.e in from the sea. Had everything leveled but crashed into a stone and damaged the wings and other flight surfaces. Fuselage and all electronics survived😮💨. Now what should I do🥹😭

Just saying 😉
You better start getting stuff now. It may get banned in the future.
Loved everything about this footage. The synchronized planes, the sunset... Looking forward to what you'll do this new year!
Pretty awesome, seeing this in person must have been great!! Watching your own designs do this is so cool!!
Great work man, nice idea well executed, the footage speaks for itself, wonderful!
What you've done with the EA Foundation is epic. You think creatively and outside the box. Keep sharing all this creativity with us.
WOW MAN! That was fun to watch! Both planes looked incredible while flying side by side! I really liked how you showed the LOS landing of each plane. Really nice work buddy!!!!
Cheers MDD!🏆
This is epic! Can't imagine the efforts put into this. Bravo man!
Outstanding flight. This was an absolutely brilliant idea!
Just brilliantly done!!!
Absolutely awesome! Keep up this great work!
beautiful shots! I've always wanted to try putting a plane into auto and chasing it with another. The lights are super cool too
Great save at the end!!!!
So freaking cool. I'm planning on starting a rc plane club at my school and would love to do something like this.
Average folk cannot comprehend what you achieved here. Excellent work sir. Thanks for sharing.
This is EPIC!
Great Job man !! Inspiring !!
Great shots! Your planes are so cool.
AWESOME ! COMPLETELY AWESOME !
Excellent !
Les atterros bien dans l’axe de la petite route sont super cool aussi.
On peut imaginer le potentiel…
Beautiful, well done
That is just magnificent. I gotta try something similar at some point...
I'm liking those nav lights... wow
Awesome stuff...great work! May this new year bring more success to you 🙏 cheers
Thanks man, back to you!🎗️
Fantastic handmade planes!
Weird this doesn't look like New Jersey 😂. Super cool video
If I could I'd give two likes on this post. Way cool stuff young man... good job.

busca soluciones actuales, modelos que esten en contruccion, busca informacion de ardupilot
Fascinating!
Thanks for great video I love it 🎉
That was pretty awesome
Truly amazing!
this guy is not a human, he's a pilot
🎉 amazing achievement 😊

Never had a broken prop with ESC-Brake Features
Great vid as always 👍.

Genial ... Felicitaciones !!!
Great video, this is amazing 👍
What lighting system you use on the crafts?
Another awesome video.
What a cool spot to fly. Damn
What LEDs (position lights) are you using?
That is so awesome.
Are the wings and the entire body of these planes made of depron or foamboard? or both?
Fuselage & Tails are Foamboard and the wings from XPS/Depron
Hi. Did you use Elrs Model Matching to control multiple plane with a remote using a switch?
No.
1st UAV was in Failsafe (0% signal) because I changed models on my transmitter, to control the 2nd UAV, which was in (Return to Home) mode.
After landing the 2nd UAV, I change the flight-model back to the 1st UAV and landed it too.

i really would like to see how this V tail design would perform with a ducted fan type propeller
Can you use a multicopter to make a fixed wing airplane, if so can you explain how it works
Love from india 🇮🇳
Very cool! What LED set did you use?
12-24V Car LED’s from AliExpress
@@AeroStuffFPV Thanks, these lights add a lot to the epicness.
100% getting some they are super bright
How much does it cost to manufacture such an aircraft?
Can you name a source for the LEDs?
beautiful man
Amazing stuff

The one coming next (FPV Racer) might do +250km/h and could be my favourite. We'll see how that works out.
Very cool! I wonder about the propeller breaking on landing though? Is it some sort of special propeller or is it just fine most of the time?
Most ESCs have a “brake” feature which stops the prop from ‘windmilling’ through the air to prevent damaging prop-strikes upon landing. Never broken a prop in that way.
I wish we had a place with that much space where I live
Nice, what keeps these two planes in fornation? Are they sharing telemetry?
It's manual adjustments of throttle of the second plane and slightly different flight paths setup in inav
The joke is getting more and more serious... hehe
That is pretty cool
Excellent!
How can we find the center of gravity of these planes?

try adding landing gears that will be cool , nice video tho👌👌😁😁
AWSOMENESS………!!!😎🦾🎄
Your next project should be a world’s first air to air battery recharging.
Already been done, but there’s not much research in it.
This is really cool. Does Denmark have any regulations for flying multiple UAS at the same time like we have in the US with Part 107.35 ? This would take a bit of paperwork and a Waiver to do in the US.
Just a certificate & ‘tailnumber’

It has been done, autonomously, with Ardupilot. Tim The Plane Man had a talk about it at the October dev conference. :)
You just leveled up the game
Kindly re-upload the video of T tail fpv, swept wing fpv
I really miss those videos
I like ur vids and I like what your doing but what are missions
Good job 🎉 🇹🇷
Awesome
Did you just loyal wing man the FPV?
In the UK you’d probably get arrested for having fun like this. 😢
They'd have to find you first? It would never happen 😊
Follow the leader?
When SHTF you will be in demand!

wow great work
You keep saying "Optimized to fly missions". Are you flying Agriculture, cinematic, law enforcement, search and rescue, or another type of mission?
Just WayPoint Missions
That was clever. Would have been better with an fpv drone instead of dji though.
Sensacional
