Hey all!
I am fairly new to the hobby, having started around June last year. I've built a Simple Cub, a Tiny Trainer, and a Tiny Arrow. I'm having a blast. I'd like to start getting into FPV, and I'm interested in getting DJI-like features on a fixed-wing build. I know the FT guys have talked about the Eagle Tree Vector system.
I was just watching some YouTube videos of guys building race quads and I was surprised at how cheap flight controllers appear to be. There appears to be a whole ecosystem of controllers based on ArduPilot that are a lot cheaper than the Eagle Tree system! I'm comfortable with soldering, so I don't see that as a deterrent.
I guess my question here is, has anyone here successfully put an ArduPilot system in a fixed wing bird? Can you point me to good articles or videos on this topic? Thanks so much!
