    I'd go up to 8v capable 20g coreless servos - you'll then get far more stable flight/sensitivity. (MKS or better still Jeti Ditex). If anyone's worried about soldering, a good bit of practice is to get a self-assemble FrSky RX4R. If you can solder that without any shorts you'll be fine with the 722/765.

    Great review. I have the F722 Wing in my ranger 1600. I'm having trouble with INAV 2.2.1 OSD with the F722. INAV 2.2.0 works fine.
    One thing I would like to see with this board is the complete smart audio setup.

    Thanks Adam, Great video.
    You mentioned a few times in the video that you did not find a airspeed sensor for a reasonable price.
    Try a search (on eBay ?) for the MPXV7002DP , they are cheap and work great. You should be able to find them for around 9 GBP
    A pitot tube is easy to make and are not that critical on size etc., there is enough documentation and how-to's around the net. I made them before and found it to be a fun project.

    Afaik it can run ardupilot, just need to flash it manually the first time, afterwards MP will identify it automatically. The second best AIO board imho is OmnibusF4pro- tiny and simple costs $35, better suited for small builds, but this one is for sure a great choice!

    • @AdamGdoesFPV
      @AdamGdoesFPV  5 лет назад

      I know you can run Ardu on the 405 board but Matek state that you can't on the 722? Not sure. I have used the Omnibus F4 pro on a fe models and although cheap and compact, it's harder to work with and isn't as simple as plugging components in. Still an option to consider though :)

    Hey Adam great review, very comprehensive! :) I've looked at this board several times but the thing that puts me off is having to solder the pins. I'm fine and soldering things but hate doing the tiny stuff! One final thing, your manual link is wrong I believe, takes you to the quad version not the wing specific manual

    • @AdamGdoesFPV
      @AdamGdoesFPV  5 лет назад

      Hi Dave, you make a good point here that I didn't think of... the fact you have to solder your own pins on is something to consider when buying this. I feel like it's an easy job once you get the technique, but I fully understand because I use to find it really hard. Maybe I might do a 1 min long side video of how i do it... might help others? You were also correct i had the the wrong link for the manual, thank you for pointing that out i've now fixed the link. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers :)

    So i can solder my crossfire nano Rx to uart 2 and run my servos directly to the servo pins? I want to set up a fpv fixed wing but want crossfire for range. This seems to be the simplest solution.

    • @AdamGdoesFPV
      @AdamGdoesFPV  3 года назад +1

      Yeah that’s exactly how it works. I only ever run a single servo cable from my rx and it goes to the UART. Everything else connects to the FC. Servos, vtx, camera, pan and tilt servos, gps etc.

  • @SniperSteve1
    @SniperSteve1 5 лет назад

    I can certainly see some of the advantages over the MFD FC, the BEC's, camera switch, and selectable voltages. Putting that and the cost difference aside, how would you compare it to the MFD Crosshair? I was considering the Crosshair for my new Full size Skyhunter build. I think I can handle the INav but soldering is where I would run into trouble. Was hoping for something plug and play.

    • @AdamGdoesFPV
      @AdamGdoesFPV  5 лет назад

      Hi Stephen. I haven't had any experience with the MFD Crosshair, but from what I can see the main updates from the original AP that I fly with is the colour coded plugs for easier installation and the fact that it has a colour OSD. The main advantage of the MFD over the Matek is that it's more plug and play. For some, another advantage is that it works very well out of the box and only requires a few tweeks to get it running perfectly. iNav i feel needs more work to get it performing well, but it is getting better all of the time! For some, iNav has far too many options and will add unwanted complexity. You are not the first person to mention soldering and this is something I overlooked slightly. It is a fiddly job getting those pins soldered on and obviously with the MFD it's ready to go. It's hard to say which is better because it really depends on the person. If you're not concerned about money and your are planning to just run 1 FPV camera then the MFD is a fantastic FC. Hope this helps :) and good luck with the Skyhunter, great model!

    Hi, subscribed. i just need a basic flight stabilization system for a rc fixed wing airplane made of foam. what unit would work for me, i will not be doing FPV at all , just need to keep the wings stable in wind and things like that. what would you recommend and thanks so much for your video and for your time!

For stabilisation the new Kopilot Lite is pretty good: tiny.cc/KopilotLite Gives you manual, stabilised, and RTH, with super simple setup and no soldering, no need for a computer and no need for FPV.

  • @paulperth4205
    @paulperth4205 4 года назад +1

    Hi Adam I have a couple of questions, not specifically about the Matek F722. I got into fixed wing "drones" when i was given a Parrot Disco (worst customer support ever). On my maiden flight I managed to crash into a tree at around 30mph at approx 50Feet high. The drone itself survived (surprisingly) I just had to re-attach the wings, However the "CHUCK" Parrots onboard computer / flight controller etc, decided not to work again, and after 6 months of emails with Parrot they decided to not repair or replace the "CHUCK" However they did offer to sell me a new one for $1200. The complete drone only cost $600. So that's the background, what I would like is for a recommendation or suggestion as to what gear I would need to install in place of Parrots "CHUCK" to get it flying again, before I have to spend even more money on a replacement aircraft. One last thing, do you have a video explaining all of the acronyms like becs, vtx etc, I've managed to work some out, but being 61 and trying to get into the hobby it can sometimes get a bit overwhelming. Many thanks if you can help / offer suggestions / advice. Cheers from Perth Australia.

    • @AdamGdoesFPV
      @AdamGdoesFPV  4 года назад +1

      Hi Paul, sorry to hear the Parrot worked out pretty badly for you. I don't really know much about the disco so might not be best to advise. However, I just took a quick look at the Chuck system and it looks like this contains:
      -FPV Camera
      -Video transmitter (Vtx)
      -Electronic speed controller (ESC)
      - GPS receiver (receivers of any kind might be referred to as an 'rx')
      -Flight controller (FC)
      -Maybe some Battery Eliminator Circuits's (BEC's... which are just voltage regulators that lower the voltage to supply correct voltage to a device. e.g. if you plug in a lipo thats 16.8v and you have a camera that requires 12v, you use a 12v BEC that lowers the voltage from 16.8v to a 12v output).
      Hopefully the above also helps out with the acronyms. Based on this list i guess that the only electronics you can salvage are the servos in the wings and the motor. Therefore to get it flying again you would need to purchase the following:
      -FPV camera (if original cannot be reused) - My favourite is this one: tiny.cc/FoxeerPredator4
      -Flight controller like F722 which has all of the BECs built in - tiny.cc/MatekF722
      -Video transmitter
      -GPS receiver - tiny.cc/wwyh7y
      -Electronic speed controller (ESC)
      -You might also need to buy a video receiving and viewing items as I don't know how custom the parrot system is.
      It may well be easier to just start fresh and buy something like an AR wing which will be a lot easier to work with tiny.cc/ARwingPNP and sell the disco for spares. Hope this helps anyway. Cheers

      Hi, when using inav you have to setup the model on the tx as a regular model, NOT a delta wing and NOT a V-tail. iNav does all of the mixing for these types of aircraft but if your TX is set to a V tail then this will be 'mixing' and confusing iNav. Hope this helps
