@@blairhocking1921 you are 100 % correct, that's exactly what happened. Werks baskets aren't cheap, I thought I can get rid of the chudder by myself and with a help of one of my local machine shop. At the end I just spent 200€ and quite a bit of my time, and my chudder was app. 20% better. When Terry announced that he will retire, I decided to pull the trigger. I hope he will pass his knowledge and experiences to someone. Check discussion on SV portal, there are some guys who are able to provide solution at least close to what Werks was providing. Just don't install bushings on 3 posts which are holding the springs plates to get rid of forward and backward play. Your DL will shred the basket to pieces eventually if you do that.
@@blairhocking1921 2 months before he closed his business he started to offer basket ready to install for 410$ without the need to sending him your old basket. This is the option I went with. Prices for other options are still on his web page I think. I recognized your video. You joined to SV 1000 portal recently haven't you? 🙂 My nickname there is mimixtz. 😊
@@geminispatricio8517 oh I believe you. Such a great V Twin, and then this chudder is breaking your nerves. Werks basket is not a cheap option, but it transforms those bikes. SVs, VStroms and KLVs. First 1000km with this basket is done and I love that bike like never before.
This plane design, if you consider the total weight compared to the strength of the printed materials for this weight, should probably be able to structurally withstand speeds in excess of way over 500kmh and I could be conservative here. The same ratio in modern airliners is a joke compared to this, this little toy beats the crap out of those airliners, and they get upto 650kmh of airspeed safely. Get some altitude, maybe a better engine(s), props, or battery, and yeah, go high.
The best cruising speed in my opinion is 90-100 km/h. It pulls 9-10 Amps when doing that with my setup, which is not very efficient. This gives you some data to calculate flight times. I'm using 1500 mah because my plane is already too heavy. 950g RTF weight.
I have crashed mine twice and looking at your videos the auto lunch gets better towards the end of the video and I was wondering what you did to dial it in good.
I'm not using auto launch. I'm throwing it in FBWA. I use 80% throttle if there's no wind and 60% if there's a wind and throwing it into the wind. It is heavy so it needs a lot of thrust to get in the air. Once in the air, I just have to know that it won't climb if I'm going slower than 60 km/h. And it flies 100+ km/h with app. 20% of the throttle pulling app. 10 Amps on 4S.
Hvala. 🙂 Malo sem prečekirao tvoj kanal, tvoje delte su 👌. Nismo tako daleko pa tko zna, možda se nekad vidimo i letimo zajedno. Ili barem pametujemo šta bi, kako bi,...😁
Hvala. 👍 Digital. Lovilec pa je pravi dec, v vseh pogledih. 👍👌 🙂 Posnetek pa vi iz VTX, ampak Gopro Hero 8, ki je ta ptica niti ne zazna 😆, Hypersmooth ON, 2.7k 60 fps, standard bitrate, EV Comp 0, GoPro Standard colour, White Balance 5500K. Je bilo zanimivo enkrat končno občutit in videt, kako je vse drugače, ko je vse belo. Lepo je. Edino malo začne zebsti. 😬 😉
Ima air unit. Se res lepo vidi, razen temperature je bil čisti užitek občudovati drugačno - belo - podobo terena. To sem si že nakj časa želel, pa ni bilo snega. Sedaj je in sem izkoristil. Da se ne izgubiš, je v OSDju puščica, ki pravilno kaže na home point. Drugače bi bilo dostikrat zelo... zoprno😁. Ardupilot tudi poskrbi, da se dokaj (😶😜) ''varno'' počutiš in s svojimi modi omogoča, da res ležerno kruzaš. To je skoraj kot DJI Mavic na krilih. S tem da modelarji vsaj vemo, kaj delamo, tipični DJI Mavic uporabniki pa dostikrat ne. Če pa kaj crkne... Pa upaš, da ne bo koga ali nečesa poškodovalo in da bodo koordinate uspešno shranjene in da boš uspešno našel čim več nepoškodovanih kosov. 😁
Thank you for your comment. 🙂 Yeah, I believe torque roll must be horrible without FC. 😬 And being 3D printed, it is heavy for this wingspan no matter what you do. So it needs speed. And we have propeller on the back. 😁 Above 60 km/h / 35-40 mph, everything is fine. Below that, it is just dropping fast and when you want to go up - na-a. I will fly it in manual mode more when the weather is better. But until now I would say that there is almost no - if any - wing tip stall. Height is just dropping when you go slow.
@@EMSXT Hey, thanks for the comment. This is Rifter 2. Just read description in my previous video. All information is there. If you need more info, no problem, contact me.
Ja, zanimivo, kaj na pravem airframu naredi en motorček od 5 inch drona. Sicer je obremenjen na dvojno predpisano vrednost. 😶 Ampak zdrži.😁 In kar je najboljše pri tem - ESC in motorček 50 €. 🙂
Whole plane is heavy. 😁 I think it is a little nose heavy. Next time I'll place the battery few mm back. I really don't want to use smaller battery than this one. This thing is pulling up to 74 Amps. 😑😉
This is after many launches and crashes🤣"ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LfdUXZM4R2E.html" Also note the elevons adjustment to counter induced motor torque roll of death on launch!
Thanks for all your comments. 👍 I watched your video. I belive your main goal wasn't your plane to be fast. I might be wrong of course. I think that main difference between this plane and yours is weight. I don't know how much does your plane weighs, but this one is 960g takeoff weight with less than 800mm wingspan. 😑🤪 I didn't want to mess with lightweight pla and I didn't want plane starting to deform and wrap at 35+ celsius sitting on the bench for half an hour. And I wanted at least a little durability. And since I figured out PETG (same weight as regular PLA) I went with this. I mean, it survived mini crashes with dolly and multiple harsh landings on that rough field. And I wanted it to be fast with afordable power train. My goal was 3D printed plane doing at least 200 km/h with "cheap" power train. This design seemed perfect since it is similar to Multiplex Funjet and those are known to be fast. And with some improvisation, my tiny 3D printer had enoug print volume. I could use motor with much less kV and much bigger prop. With that I think I would have much more static thrust, much more punch and easier launch. I think it would get enoug speed much sooner. But... It wouldn't be as fast. 😁 The biggest concern for me at launch is that prop on the back. I know that I can have reliable launches with Ardupilot using FBWA and even manual mode - as long as I can throw the plane with long straight swing to give the plane stability while throwing it. In this case, I'm worried because of the prop. If the plane was light, you can kind of just release it with gentle toss. But this one needs more speed. Next time I will try to launch it on flat field using even more throttle and as someone suggested, I'll move the battery few mm back, I think it is too nose heavy. And what ever happens - it happens. If it crashes, I just hope that all electronics including Vista will survive. 🤔😑 I have another plane for smooth acrobatic fpv flying and another one for - hypotetically of course - long range smooth flying.
@@mihavuk Wow 960g! that’s heavy, for the speeds you are going for it probably needs that weight and strength. My Vector Loris 4K Polypropylene Version is 571g with battery! You are correct my motivation was not speed, it was to build a cheap Drak type FPV plane that you can crash and rebuild as many times as you like and it would not cost you lots of money to rebuild or replace. Also, I designed it from my experience of building and crashing lots of quads and I wanted something that would stand up to all but the worst crashes. I think the fasted flight I have had on 4S was 90MPH, very short flight time, but at slower speeds I have flown it for over 25 minutes. I think you are correct about trying to move the battery back, trying to find the correct CG was the hardest thing, but when you find the sweet spot, it will fly perfect! 😊 I did add M3x6x0.5mm brass washers between the motor and the mount, 2 washers at the top and 1 washer either side, no washer on the bottom. This resulted in the motor angled down by 3.6° This helped a lot on high-speed runs, I had to pitch less as the speed increased. Good luck with your project 😊.
Good effort😀, I feel your pain when it crashed on maiden, I went through a similar painful experience developing my “Vector” pusher plain, I had no 3D printer and mine was hand build from Correx (details on my channel), I eventually realized I was using way too much throttle to launch, this would cause a pitch down and many hours rebuilding ☹.Eventually, like you, I learned to use less throttle and launch from a slope, then I started to use INav Auto launch and no more crashes on take-off! 😊
@@maskpro1843 I have Auto launch angle at 26°, throttle is 50% = 1500μs. I could reduce this to 1400μs, as my Vector climb rate performance is very high(launch idle throttle is 1200us).There are lots of variables, weight of your model, obstacles to clear on launch, climb performance.What I learned the hard way, is if you have the launch throttle too high and you hand launch is not fast enough for plane to intially fly, it will stall and power its self into the ground :(
Thank you for your comment. Could be either. Next time I'll move the battery few mm back. Plane is heavy in general. 😑 The other thing is me being late on the right stick - pitch back. And then throwing... I'm worried for my fingers. 😬 Adding more throttle helps a lot. It seems to me it was dipping less each pack - I was adding more and more throttle.
Haha, I know exactly what you mean. 😄 I could use truggy, that one could carry bigger platform and I could provide better protection on the front to be more safe from every aspect, including animal, such as goats for example. But my truggy is nitro and I like bashing it as it is. I think you'll need much bigger machinery than this. 😄😄😜
Done. 👍 You are aware that maybe in the future controller with Ardurover in combination with RTK GPS will be installed aren't you? 😁 Maybe I'll use another buggy for testing purposes first. We'll see what future will bring. 😊
No, I really don't know how I would do that. Or maybe I don't understand what exactly you mean. 🤔🤨 I did use 10Ah 4S lipo last summer with sup board and 2 persons onboard. It was pretty fast, but it was also hard to hold it for long time and full power. At the moment I'm looking for new prop since this one is quite chipped due to hitting the bottom few times and propeler sucked few rocks each time this happened. Now it is vibrating quite a bit because of that. 😑🤪
Hvala. 🙂Nikoli ni tako dobro, da ne bi moglo biti še boljše. Ampak za hobijaša z made in doma narejenimi droni je OK-ish. 😁 Poppy fields je žalostna pesem, Strawbery fields pa ne, tale priredba pa zagotovi še to, da nimam opozorila za kršenje avtorskih pravic. In kar paše se mi zdi, ja.
O lej ga Archer. 😉 Ne, res ne bi bilo fajn brez buzzerja,če bi padel v tole. 😁 5 inčer sicer ima poleg self powered buzzerja še GPS, tako da bi malo bolj vedel, kje je. Whoop pa ne. Ampak hej, Frsky R9 je (skoraj) vedno super, čeprav ga skoraj vsi pljuvajo. 😉😉 Ampak ko nad tem letiš, pozabiš na vse, je fascinantno. Edino ne vem, ali zato, ker je tako lepo, ali pa je od toliko maka že kaj v zraku. 😁😁😁
Than you. I saw Ken Heron doing it. I would prefer having that on trigger. You can't control when it will fire and where it will go. But simple and fun indeed. 😉
@@adtv96 I know I checked your channel. 😉 You are getting good and you have really a nice place around that tower. 👌 I fpv everything. 🙂 Mainly freestyle multirotors, but also planes and full 3D collective pitch helicopters. I also put fpv gear on 1:8 off road buggy. Fun, but I prefer flying. 😉
@@adtv96 no problem. 👍 My recomendation: Use foam plane. And you should know, all decent multirotors flies better than planes. That is a fact I know from my own experiences. But planes are a lot of fun too and they have A LOT of other advantages.
Zadnjič sem ti pozabil rečt; puščice so karbonske in ni vrag, da ne bi bili kar... zanimivi rezultati pri streljanju starih overcharged lipotov. Ampak če bi tako lepo cruisal in imel poravnane recimo 2-3 ring gate, bi se mogoče zadevo dalo sklatit z zraka. Aprila imam 2 tedna dopusta, en teden bomo na bizeljskem, pa en star quad imam ki ga komot žrtvujem za 'dober namen'; hell, še kaka stara shitty hd kamera bi se našla. Kaj praviš? :D
Hi, I'm not sure if I understand what you want to do. You have a FC and it doesn't output pwm, but your esc can only accept pwm and you want to solve this using option described in this video?
