Heewing T-1 Ranger Maiden & Build Overview
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2024
- After my friend Marc Hoffman @MarcFPV let me fly his T1 in the summer I immediatly added this plane to my wishlist.
After spending time touring Spain and cycling to beautiful places on my e-mountain bike I realised that the Ranger would be a perfect backpack plane, being small light, easy to disassemble and most importantly much quieter than my AR Pro's.
So I ordered the PNP Pro version just before Christmas and with much help from Simon Berg @FpvBerget I got it built and here is my maiden flight.

Hey. Hope your all good and done some flying. Weather should be ok this week. Hopefully me and my mates get out for a fly thursday late afternoon/evening. Managed to get 211mph out my alpha strike. I now have the same motor on a strix goblin I have. Hopefully I can get that on the top speed leader board on the readymaderc page. Also ordered a new atomrc dolphin that should come this week hopefully 🤞🏻
211 mph wow thats really awesome speed, mind you that plane does look like it was designed to go fast! I have been mainly flying LOS recently, although not much of that until the last month or so as the weather has been really terrible in my part of the UK.
I am toying with the idea of adding inav and FPV to an edf jet and also hope to get some flights with the T1 this weekend when I take a trip in the camper to North Wales with my son.
@@bluefish3607 yeh flying around wales would be good. I’ve not really done any flying the last couple of weeks really. Still waiting on my atomrc dolphin frame to be delivered. Another new model 🙈😂 2300kv cobra motor to fit, so should go not to bad. Dolphins are not speed wings, but should be a fair bit quicker then the standard. And yeh, the alpha stike is kinda like a dart in the wind
Welcome back! Great Video
Hey thanks, looking forward to more adventures with the T1 Ranger.
Happy new year Glenn, great to see you back, great video, keep them coming.
Happy New Year Greg, roll on the warmer weather
Great stuff! Great plane, great van, and you’ve got the right idea mate: retire whilst you can still enjoy your outdoor hobbies, just what I plan to do 😊
It was my plan 30 years ago when I started my business to retire when I was 60 and managed it a year ahead of schedule and I am enjoying every minute. Best wishes to you and your early retirement.
It has been a minute! Glad you are posting again :)
Glad you enjoyed it, I just need some sunshine :-)
Great to see you back Glenn. 👍
Cheers Tony, just need some decent weather so the fun can start properly.
@@bluefish3607 You and me both Glenn, 2023 wasn’t the best year for flying, too windy and wet. Let’s hope for better weather this year.
Nice little plane. Thanks for the tour in the van, very practical vehicle. I am wiring up my plane but not sure about about wiring of MATEK F411 to GPS, Air Unit, and radio receiver. There are only 2 UART to be used on F411. Are you using the Softserial for the GPS?
did i hear ,you say, considering walksnail, t1 flyer me and dji 03, cant fault it ,, glad to see you back,,,
Cheers Bryan, I only said that because my friends plane I flew had Walksnail and it was pretty impressive, but when I got in the Goggles 2 with DJO O3 on the T1 maiden I realised how good it was and will very probably stick with DJI as its so good, I just hope they improve the inav OSD situation.
Yay! Welcome back!!!!
Hi Caroline, hope your well and had a good Crimbo and all that. Must be brass monkeys up on those moors, hopefully we can get together when things warm up a bit.
@@bluefish3607 it's blooming cold today!! Did get a bit of a fly on Sunday and was shivering! Roll on Spring!!!
Looks fast Glenn. 😊
Yeah, it's faster than I expected to be honest, but so quiet compared to the AR Pro.
Welcome back mate. Been a while. I fly my t1 on a 4s1p 21700 p42 pack. Flies well and fast. I have 40a Skystars talon esc’s and 1507 4150kv Brotherhobby motors. Easiest plane to launch and climbs vertical easy. 4x4x3 props
Don't tell me things like that, it will only cost me money, I love tinlkering and modding things. Its sounds like a brilliant setup and I did enjoy building those LION packs :-)
@@bluefish3607 also I have a couple of mates I fly with and always go on about having a coast fly or mountains. Not sure if there is a good trail your way. We’re about 120mph away from Grimsby. Be good to all meet up and make a good weekend of it in the summer.
@@ttucker2073 That would be awesome and I would defo be up for a meetup. Let's try and fix something up when it gets a bit warmer.
@@bluefish3607 deffo mate 💯. 👍🏻
Hi Glenn. Are the 3D printed items for the T1 available somewhere?
Also liking the camper 👌🏻 still not tried my goblin on 6s yet. Weather has been crap and cold. Only flown once the other day in weeks. The atomrc swordfish. Another good plane and I fly that on a 5s1p p42 pack. I solder all my packs. A lot stronger then spot welding. Solders fine and quick with a good iron. My spot welder didn’t do to good. Ur t1 flys well 👊🏻👌🏻 think I’ve had about 100mph out mine. With the wind behind and a dive
Cheers the camper has really been fantastic so far, and I live on the Lincolnshire coast near grimsby and the weather has been dreadful, this was the best day for absolutely ages.The Swordfish I really like the look of and now I have my first tractor twin I may put that on my wishlist. I can't wait to get out in some decent weather and really get to grips with setting up the T1 but that said it flew amazingly on stock settings. My spot welder seems to work really well, I was unable to pull off a test weld even with pliers, thats probably good as I am not the best with a soldering iron.
@@bluefish3607 yes mate, sounds like your spot welding is a lot better then mine 😂 the swordfish is so easy to launch like the t1 and flys fast and great. The twin tractors are good. The weather here in Bedfordshire has also not been good. Like I said, only 1 fly couple days ago in weeks. Probably a couple of months or more maybe. I managed to buy a load of barley used p42 batteries for about £1.75 each on eBay luckily. So made a few packs. I would love a camper but could never afford 1 at the minute with 4 kids.
@@ttucker2073 Those P42's sound like a real bargain. I have 3 grown up kids and I know how much they cost 🙂
I’m so tempted to get the T2, but it is just too much money. If it wasn’t so proprietary I would think it’s worth the money, but I don’t want it grounded because it needs some special part that isn’t available anymore.
For the record, tee wing DOES currently sell the parts to support their products.
Looks like the T2 has the same extensive range of spare parts on the Heewing website. If the T2 flies anything like the T1 I might be tempted :-)
I'm waiting for the T2 VTOL to come out, got 2x T1 VTOL's on 4S & 3S
Nice maiden. Check the motors are properly attached. I had a motor come off mid flight in the PNP. I've made the same packs with a similar spot welder. Like the camper van. Did you buy it ready converted?
Hi Jake, thanks for the headsa up on the motor mounts I will definitely check them over. Making your own pack is great isn't it. I bought the van just as an empty panel van and then had it built to my spec by a specialist camper conversion company.
Glenn, was just wondering only a few days ago how your travels were going and when you would be posting something again. Great to see you are enjoying your retirement mate. Looks like you have chosen my next build for me. Great to see you back. Mick. Btw, you got a link to that spot welder?
Hi Mick good to hear from you, yes I have settled down a bit on the travelling front for a while as the wife has me on some house renovation projects :-) First impressions of the T1 are very very good. Such a different plane to the AR Pro but perfect for my needs as a backpack plane and soooo quiet. Now I have the flight I must try and get down to your neck of the woods when things warm up a bit, I promised I would go visit my friend in Southampton as we have not seen eachother since before COVID. Here is the link to my welder www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BMV4ZVBR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
@bluefish3607 Spot on Glenn. I know the feeling well having recently moved house, I haven't had much time to "tinker or fly" at all given the lengthy list of house projects I too have been given by the long haired colonel. Moved not too far from The New Forest into Shaftesbury, Dorset. (remember the Hovis advert?). By the time you get on your travels again, I will have sussed out some great flying by then, some fantastic countryside here too. Thanks for the link👍
Love this video, I bought a pnp version too, it flies superbly, been using a 1500 3s, but made an Li-ion pack in 2022 from Molicel P45A's.
Do you think they'll be ok?
Video is a Caddx Nebula Vista Pro, it's great, would like to run an FC, I have one already which works great, and an OSD in my DJI V2 goggles, but it doesn't arm the O3.
I'll use the O3 in something else.
Anyway interested to know if you think these cells will be OK?
As for flying I concur, it's nippy, efficient, flies wonderfully and quiet.
Best FPV model I have in flying terms.
Hi sorry for the late reply I have been away in Spain. I use the same Molicel P45’s in my packs and they are great in the T1.
I assume you connected the O3 to an FC UART and set it up in jnav ports it needs this to work. I believe there is also a setting in the DJI goggles menu to disable the need to arm to get full power on the O3.
Enjoy your T1 is really in an outstanding FOV plane imo.
Lucky you: you look young for someone who's already on pension. I've got to wait until 68 :(
Did you visit south east Spain too? The one photo looks similar to the area where I live. I like MTB cycling too and I fly my T1 there in the mountains although I rarely upload videos to RUclips. The advantage in the dryer parts of Spain is that one can cycle (and fly) almost every day.
What for battery or batteries do you use to power your spot welder?
I don't get my state pension for another 8 years, but I was fortunate to be able to retire earlier. I drove from Santander, stopped in the hills just north of Madrid for a couple of days and then down to the Alicante area and then up into the Pyrenees, up through France, Belgium and to the ferry port in Rotterdam, stopping in various places along the way as i felt like. The lake photo is near Toremendo and the other hilltop is close to Hurchillo. I agree the cycling and flying down there is fantastic warm days light winds almost every day for the 3 weeks I was there. The spot welder has its own internal batter I assume a Lipo and its 600mah apparently.
Nice video. I would like to know where you got the board for the LEDs to work please. I’m using a speedybee FC and can’t get them to work
Hi the LED board is a Heewing product and comes with the Pro version of the T1.
You can buy it as an accessory on their website. www.heewing.com/products/heewing-t1-ranger-f01-rgb-full-color-driver-plate
Thank you
Also how did you wire up the isolation switch? I would like to do that to mine also. Thanks
How did you wire up your switch? I have the O3 air unit also. Thanks
Just put the switch inline on the 9v line between the FC and O3. Ran the positive from the switch also to the LED and negative for LED from FC.
Bluefish can you show a close up pic or diagram. Just to see if i know what you’re talking about. You cut the red wire on the harness from FC to the air unit and connected it to the switch? I dont understand the negative to LED. I dont have LEDs hooked up on my plane yet.
Congratulations on your retirement.
Cheers, I am loving every minute of it 👍
Go a link for the spot welder?
Hi I got mine from Amazon here is the link: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BMV4ZVBR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Hello! Do you have the 3D Models uploaded?
Hi, here is a link to all my T1 designs. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Jeyqc3z2eswAgiuhwKtT5BVXrLnCiTSo?usp=sharing
