v-tail

I'm trying to set up a Durafly Bonanza with my TGY-i6 (identical to the FS-i6, so I'll just call it that) so I turned on the v-tail mixing, but it's backwards, up and down movement controls the rudder and left and right controls the elevators. There is no option to reverse this and I'm flying...

I love my simple scout and recently was looking at the new Durafly Bonanza v-tail and thought I could definitely build that. First step, I figured I would take a proven fuselage setup and work on converting it as I had never built a v-tail before. Design came together very quickly, stretched...

When I bought the UMX Radian several years ago my intention was merely wanting to spend a relatively small amount of $ that was about to burn a hole in my pocket in the not-so-local hobby shop. On the ride home I was frustrated to find it didn't even have ailerons. "What had I done?"...

in beginner series #6, power systems, in the background there is a bat-winged v-tail plane with what seems is a 5-ft wingspan. what is this called and are there plans of a kit for it? it appears over Josh's left shoulder (not Bixler) at about one minute eight seconds into the episode and...

So, bought the V-Tail motor mounts, had a hell of a time getting them onto booms that I painted, which resulted in one of the bottom sides that goes on the bottom of the boom breaking. Glued it back on, used a zip tie to secure the whole thing to the boom. Did some test flying which resulted in...

Hey Guys, In this Thread I'd like to share with you my latest project, the RST Hunter. This Design is a Pusher with a V-Tail to reduce the weight a little bit in the back section and I just wanted it to try out! I've allready made 2 Pusher Desings. The V2 was actually quite a success, but it...

Thanks everyone who guided me on my project. I am starting a new thread because the finished design is so different that what I started with. If you want to see how it started out, see the below linked threads: http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?10232-Naze32-V-Tail-Quad-Setup and...

I am building a V-Tail and have almost everything decided/purchased except the motors/props/esc. The weight minus the Naze32 flight controller and OSD module is 430 grams and the average weight of my 2200mah 4S batteries is 250 grams. The booms are currently 11.5 inches long and will be...

Hi everyone. Thank you Josh, Josh, and Dave. I am building my second multirotor. The first was a Fortis Airframes Titan tricopter (that I found from an ad on your site) with an APM 2.6 flight controller. It flies very well and is used for aerial photography. I want to build something for...

Hi all. I like to building multirotors and I change my crafts few times per year. 2 months ago I decided to build V-Tail based on FT batBone frame and I wanted to share my experiences with you. First of all. Final craft looks like this. I followed the David's tutorial but my v-tail does not...

I have been watching a ton of flite test in the past 3 weeks... and I've been inspired by david and the gang. Before starting, I wanted to get an idea of size/scale so i broke out Photoshop & SkechUp and started playing. I didn't know where to start SOooo I copied the RotorBones pdf designs...

Hello fellow FliteTesters. In the spoiler is a quick introduction about me: So I have the plans on building myself a batbone v-tail (the upside down v-tail like in the batbone video at the factory). I have not yet ordered anyparts yet because i would like to abuse your knowledge about...

Hello! First post. THANK YOU for all of your contributions; multi rotor flight has come along way in technology and reduced price over the last 5-7 years. What was out of reach then is here NOW! I am interested in rc flight mainly for aerial video and photography. I am interested in quads for...

I've recently built a super simple gimbal (link), for use with a GoPro 2. I've had some strange issues with it being rather "twitchy" using the gains suggested in the article. Does anyone know what this could be caused by? It stays level really well on my V-Tail quad, it just shakes like crazy...

I've built a V-Tail quad and I was considering playing around with the mixer editor a little bit. The default V-Tail has 100% of the yaw control coming from the back two motors (similar to a tri), whereas an ordinary quad uses all 4 motors to yaw by changing motor pair speeds. So, I was...
