Mini Talon #3 - 51km Long Range
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- Successful long range test of my 3rd Mini Talon 1500mm wingspan (the first 2 are now resting in pieces in a foam graveyard together with my other crashed foamies). Only the flight controller, gps module, aileron servos are reused in this build. I could've pushed further to to take advantage of the strong headwind going out. But I chikened out at 51km. So far, pretty happy with the current setup. What I changed from the maiden flight was the props. From 11x8 to 11X7. Camera is now a Runcam phoenix 2 nano and Caddx Turtle V2 (I did not bother to include the HD footage in this upload since it was crap due to the ND filter I put). Needs a few more improvement in the aerodynamics department. I think I will loose the Pan-tilt servo and just put in 3 cams on different places with cam switcher.

I am very grateful to you for sharing your information, I am a beginner in small aviation and very often it is a problem to learn something from experienced colleagues, because most of them are secretive and arrogant, such an attitude towards newcomers, unfortunately, in many areas of human activity. .. Thanks for your videos, subscribed, I will wait for new videos.
Congrats !
Amazing, cloudsurfing at 50km distance, like it's easy. When returning, 10km must feel like almost home i guess.
Thanks!
Hayop, LOL, grabe na boss yang setup mo ah, max ko sa ngayon 10km pa lang
Wow. :)
Ganda sir..walang kakupas kupas..extended pala wings niyan
Yes bro. Galing dun sa naunang Mini Talon yung tinabas na pang dugtong 😄
@@MyRazerZone ano sir advantage pagextended wings? Yung fc ko pinadala ko ulit kay sir erwin nagreflash ako wala na pala reset button..galing yun sakanya..pinapaayos ko sakanya ta paconfigure narin sa ardu ulit..hehehe
@@dmhans22 less power needed for level flight mas lalo kung mabigat na battery ang karga.. Kaso ang penalty, more drag kaya medyo mas mabagal ang cruise speed nya kompara sa standard wingspan.
@@MyRazerZone ok lang yan sir atleast di masiyado mabilis..madali ang maneuver..kapag nakalipad na yung sakin extend ko rin..
Very well😃👍Очень красивые облака!
Hi,
Thanks for sharing!
Have you done any modification to mount the 3115 motor on the mini-talon? Or it can be used directly?
Moreover, do you recommend the extensions for the mini-talon?
Outstanding flight. i love your vids man. Btw, what was your ground station set-up for this flight?
If i buy the pnp versuon excluding the esscial parts like tranmiter refeiver and batery what else should i buy ? (Im a starter)
A great flight. Minitalon never disappoints. What happened to the other minitalons to break? Did they fail in flight? What model of emax servos have you installed?
Thanks! My 1st MT crashed. Forgot to tape the top cover and it got tangled with the prop mid flight. It took out 1 control surface and damaged the other Vtail. The 2nd MT flew into a tree while flying LOS 😄. I always keep an extra MT so if this one crashed or lost, I already have one to build 😆.
Servos are emax ESO8MDII
An excellent and exciting flight. Why didn't you install HD camera gopro or ..etc.. on the plane? Would it reduce the flight time too much?
I have installed a caddx turtle v2. Video didn't turn out well on this flight since i have installed an ND filter. Next LR flight I'll be posting video in hd. Thanks!
which FIRMWARE is using rx tx r9 thanks
dvr is on board?
Hi. Video is recorded on my groundstation. I am using 1.2ghz video
@@MyRazerZone it is good. Please, give a description of the video path. Sorry for bad language, i am from Russia.
Great flight! Congratulations!
Do you need to set esc (cut off voltage) to use with li ion battery. I have one tekko 65A ESC too!
Thanks! If you intend to drain you Li-Ions to 3V per cell or lower, then Yes, you need to turn "OFF" the "LOW VOLTAGE PROTECTION" bar in BLhelisuite.
@@MyRazerZone Thanks! Can you teach me how to set that by controller!
Pan and tilt sep up please. Does it rotate 360°? Is continuous rotation servo? Mine cant even reach 180° haha.
Epic flight, how accurate is that prevailing wind direction indicator...?...That air was silky smooth at the turnaround, been in air like that myself at altitude, a bit surreal isn't it?
Not that accurate specially if flying in a straight line for more than 15km. I think it needs to calibrate every 10km, so Im planning on doing a circle every 10km. Yes It's addicting flying up there once the plane is over the turbulent winds caused by the mountains.
@@MyRazerZone Yes, reason I ask, is because your GS and ASI seem to be pretty close most of the time. Prevailing wind direction you can get from a weather map preflight...Almost 100kms on just 10amps, amazing TBH.
@@MyRazerZone do you use an airspeed sensor? I couldn't see it on your build list.
@@fishmanmtb no I haven't installed an Airspeed sensor. What you're seeing is ardupilot computing synthetic AS. Not good if flying in a straight line for extended periods. 😊
@@MyRazerZone thought that was the case. I'll be fitting an airspeed sensor to my MT in the coming weeks. That coupled with a compass, it'll be interesting to see if the wind speed estimate will be come more accurate.
Great video! Can you tell me in detail what vtx is using?
HI! It is in the description. 1W 1.2Ghz VTX with ProDrone Dipole. Thanks!
@@MyRazerZone What is the brand of vtx?
@@mehmetkeskin2469 Hi, no name brand. Just TX1000 on banggood. Cheers!
impressive!!!! one question on the wing extention, how it handle with bigger wingspan, especially on landing
