Another question: What receiver/ports are you using? I figure with 5 servos (ailerons, elevator, VTOL plus 3 motors) the minimum would be 7 ports assuming ailerons on a Y connector. I'm planning on using a 10 port FlySky receiver, but is that enough for all the hardware plus INAV?
You want to use an sbus receiver if you use flysky, a fs-a8s will work, the flight controller handles all the ports all that the tx has to output is 4 channels normally expected (roll, pitch, throttle, yaw) and then a channel for each mode, like arm, mode, transition, etc. I believe I got to 12 channels on my boomin flerken VTOL due to GPS but it was just too many switches to remember. I used the fs-a8s and it worked really well.
Yeah, a FC will allow you to do mixes and adjust the PIDS ect to get a more stable hover 👍
Sounds like a good idea, and it would be interesting to see if it works with a gyro!👍
i also had this idea, its probably not the best, but you could have 2 receivers, or just two outputs with a series of channels to one plane, but one would go to a drone gyro and the other to a plane gyro,a dn so you could turnone off and the other on and the other way around by utilixing a otn of channels.
Thanks a million. Hopefully I can repay the gesture.
How are you stabilizing yaw during multicopter flight? If given the chance, prioritizes stabilization during vertical mode, you can fly a plane manually, not as much for a drone.
Only planning vertical for lift off and landing. Hoping the 6 axis gyro will handle stability. Still going to do the Speedy Bee flight controller on a subsequent build but just wanted to see what would happen with the gyro only. 🤞
Even if you use vertical for just takeoff and landing, you need yaw stablization, any unevenness may cause it to spin in all directions, and realistically it’s good to just have it connected to the gyro (the two motor tilt servos). It may be tough to stabilize that manually. If you don’t want to connect those servos, make it a quad plane, that way the quad motors are in the gyro, completely separate, and the airplane components are int eh plane, completely separate, plus the gyro would use the quad motors to help you turn and bank and everything, as an added bonus.
ina tricopter with teh front motors tiliting, it is the tilt servos that must control yaw, gfeel free to try it manually, it may potentially work.
Still working on two types of VTOL, one with a gyro only (I know it probably won't fly) and one with INAV. Meant to ask you which brand of servos did you get for the tilt? The ones I bought didn't fit and I had to carve out some of the material to make them fit. Thanks again for all of your assistance.
