      Tomasxt25 / legobrainiac Although you should practice storing a function's returned value instead of invoking the entire function for every if statement and math.. Actually that could seriously limit the speed the code runs, especially with these Arduino libraries

    Hey Tom, really interesting project! I'm an aeronautical engineering student as well and I've done quite some studies about wingtip devices to make aeroplanes more aerodynamically efficient. Here's an idea that might be interesting to give some thought: I see that you placed your motors some distance apart from the end of the wing, and I can imagine you did this for two reasons: 1) so the propellors don't cut your wing when tilting forwards and 2) so the wing doesn't block half the downward airflow generated by the propellors in hovering flight. But consider this idea: Why not give the piece of CF bar between the wing edge and motor mount a fairing with the same wing profile as the main wing, which would tilt together with the motors. This way when doing forward flight, the fairings (if precisely made) will align just nice and flush with the wing, making your airplane potentially way more efficient. This because wingtip propellors might have a potentially positive effect on your induced drag and even have the effect of a blown wing. This could mean even lower power settings during cruise and potentially a less drastic drop when doing the transition from hover to forward flight. It might also slow the plane down quicker when transitioning from forward flight to hover, because you now got 2 peices of blown wing wich generate a lift force against the flight direction, potentially slowing you down more drastically. A downside might be the precise building so the gap between the rigid and rotating wing parts are as tiny as possible to reduce losses. Another downside might be the lift vector that is constantly generated due to the blown wing effect, regardless of flight configuration. In hover this would mean the engines need a slight forward thrust vector (read forward tilt angle) to compensate for this lift vector. Also the motormounts would need to extend higher ofcourse as to not cut your wing when tilting ;)
    I know your plane is already quite efficient hence the low power setting you used, but I thought this just might be a very interesting experiment?

    • @PaperFun
      @PaperFun 6 лет назад +3

      87mits that would indeed be my assumption, so you would need some forward tilt to compensate. No idea though how significant this would be, but I know that blown wings can generate a significant amount of lift, tom even made a video about it ;) but if you've seen it you'll see that the effect is way more subtle on straight wings

    Embedded programmer here; You might think that the flight controller is written in some foreign programming language, but there is good news! As you've already got yourself writing Arduino code (which is pretty much C with a bit of C++ thrown in for some of the objects, aka Servo and PWM), it's very much possible to remove the Arduino from the equation for your V4 plane and use only the flight controller with your custom code. I'd actually recommend relying on the SBUS output (it's the same information as coming out of the PWM channels) as you get it faster and it's easier and less error prone to trying to read the PWM channels (timing jitter).
    If you want a bit of help trying to get it going on just the flight controller, send me a youtube message and we can converse and get you up & running :D Keep up the great work, love every video you do.

Hopefully your "hack" might finally stimulate someone to take on the development effort. We sorely need it.

    Many people have spent a lot of time trying to do VTOL transition and you cracked it in a few days, so congratulations!
    Having two contrarotating motors/props on each wing would give you yaw control, and if arranged like an "H" with a very long bridge, you'd essentially have a quadcopter with pitch and yaw stability that can transition to forward flight as well. Worth a try!

  • @MpxFlyer
    @MpxFlyer 6 лет назад +20

    What if you add a really tiny motor on the tail of the plane for some proper yaw control? so not like a tircopter but a motor mounted vertically. (like a regular helicopter's tail motor). therefore you could remove the 15 grams of lead on the tail and gain some better control.

    • @mdrocketry

    on your setup and loop functions, void is the return type. its basically a way for the program to know what to expect from each function. So if a func has a return type of void, don't expect a return value. In other words, you can say "runs the setup function" instead of "runs the void setup code"

After discovering that my code was inverted on the first launch, the second worked well and I had a nice stabalised plane with limits to pitch and roll that were adjustable via a pot on the controller. It wasnt as good as an off the shelf solution, but it was cheap and MINE :)

  • @Jimbo-in-Thailand
    @Jimbo-in-Thailand 6 лет назад

    +1 Tom - To add yaw while in hover mode can't you add some code to allow the props to tilt independently, i.e., slightly oppositely about the wing centerline. To yaw left mix the 'rudder' so the right motor would tilt slightly forward while the left motor would correspondingly tilt aft. That would give you full control of the model. Food for thought.
    Cheers from Thailand!

    @xraptor10 5 лет назад

    The self leveling problem is likely because the "elevator authority" comes from 2 different places in both hover and 45 degree mode. The authority of both engines tilting is going to be mostly constant. But the the actual tail elevator only has authority while in forward flight. And if there's a tail wind while hovering any automatic compensation by the flight controller to the tail elevator servo will have the opposite outcome on the aircraft's pitch.

    I absolutely admire the projects you undertake, and your success may vary, but your learning ramps up always. TINY piece of info for you regards aeronautical engineering, not from me, but from NASA, which you may have seen: NASA have produced a winged aircraft, full-size, electrically powered, and made a few mods to the basic aircraft. Primary, there are two things...First, the chord length of the wing (the width as you will know Tom) is surprisingly narrow, which they say makes it 500% as efficient. Secondly, there’s two big props, one each end of the wing very like your design, but there’s a huge array of smaller drone-type propellors ranged along the wing span between the outer props and the fuselage - reminiscent of that Howard Hughes monster plane long ago! The little props are only for taking off, like ‘booster rockets’ on a space shuttle. Good on you Tom, press on!

    -you can use ailerons to get yaw control

    Loved the video! I understood most of the hardware stuff but the coding part had me shook. Someone left a comment about something called IMPULSERC that should fix your problem with flashing. Please use the KK board with OPENAERO VTOL to simplify things for us millennials. Keep up the great work!

    Love it mate. Great work. You could add a servo on the tail to replace your extra weight. This will give you your rudder control you want

    I had thought about doing this kinda project then I found your video. It being your first Arduino Project you should be proud of yourself. I have been thinking now about a vtol plane that uses two props built into holes in the tail wing so that you would not need the control surfaces at all it would just turn the rear motors off when it was flying horizontal.

    Tom! I must say I truly love your channel. I have been following you for some time now and your videos get better every week. Your fascination with aviation reminds me of myself. Ever thought about getting licensed? It is amazing to see how much you have developed. Keep the videos coming!

    You might want to think about adding a very small motor to the back of the craft. Not only will it allow more control in forward flight mode, but when in hover mode, you could have more "drone-like" control. I don't know, it's just something you should think about.

    Brilliant for a first effort! Inspirational I'd say...
    FWIW (probably not much) have you considered replacing the tail with a (third) tiltable motor, acting as a thruster in normal flight?
    Then, with small adjustments, it could also double as an elevator, but it could make VTOL a doddle when pointing up, especially as you could also easily add auto-leveling.
    Thanks for the great vids!

    Great build and very informative. Instead of a counter weight in the tail, have you considered a rudder servo in the tail to help balance. Good job none the less👍
