Beautiful flights man you're one hell of a pilot. I'm tempted to give rotorflight a go due to the price but Ikon 2 is just so simple lol. Seems like RotorFlight is way more complex
I appreciate that :) It's definitely not for the faint of heart, currently. Much more similar to setting up and tuning a FPV quad than most FBL systems out there. However I will say - in reality, I had to do very little tuning. Mostly, all I did was copy someone else's settings for a similar helicopter, and it was already 95% there. At this point (a month after this recording), I'm thinking my tail issues may be mechanical or tail servo related for the most part anyway. I've flown most FBL systems on the market over the years and I can say with confidence that Rotorflight is very likely the future of RC helicopters. It will not be for everyone, don't get me wrong. But for those willing to put in a little bit of effort, the performance is impressive and promising. And as the Rotorflight crew figures out the best default values, it will only get easier to get a decent flying heli with little effort... leave the super fine tuning for the super fine folk :) Rotorflight is more advanced, and certainly more configurable... but it isn't out of reach if you're willing to put some time into learning. You don't have to dig too deep if you don't want to and you can get a good result with just the basics.
I have the Nexus setup on my Goblin 420 Raw. Do you have any PIDS that I can try since the OMP M4 is somewhat close in size with the 420 Raw. Thank you so much.
....i agreed when you said "could i have tuned it out of brain..probebly". personally i think they are over engineered and very difficult to setup.....not for the beginner or even the intermediate flier.
I didn't do much... Just stole settings from a known decent config that my friend has been using. Then I just tuned the rates and expo to my preferred feel. Really not a ton of tuning to get cyclic to an excellent state, and tail mostly good.
This video is not helpful for me Since I have nexus on m4 max But just wanted leave comments and say thank you for sharing all details without censoring I saw you responded to all questions you received Definitely these information would be helpful for many pilots There are many video on RU-vid or facebook and they don’t share any information with other people Good luck!
I don't see how it might be any less helpful to you... The Nexus is a Rotorflight FC just like this one, the software is identical :) Anyway, glad you liked it.
I just ordered a x18se. Very excited for it but I'm not quite sure what the difference is between s port, sbus, fport, or fbus. Or inverted s port. Could you please link a forum page or anything that describes it because I can find anything
Check out this article - I wrote it for them a while back: www.airbossrc.com/post/sbus-vs-fbus Regarding "Inverted" - you probably don't need to worry about that. In short, it's a 1:1 mirror of the corresponding signal, with 0 flipped to 1 and 1 flipped to 0. It's only needed for certain flight controllers that use F4 processors that cannot handle the standard S.Port/F.Port/F.BUS signal. Most modern FCs, including most recently released Rotorflight boards, use F7 processors, which can handle the regular S.Port/F.Port/F.BUS signal just fine.
@@BladeScraper awesome thanks man. It is a hell of a learning curve. I figured inverted was gonna be a drone thing mostly. New transmitter gets in today and I can't wait to play around with all the features
I tried the V1 405 on a 380 but went back to MSH because I cba with all the droney stuff. Can’t understand given all the brains around this stuff why not make a decent configurator? Same with Ethos - the Suite is diabolical. As always your flying is next level ..almost goes without saying.. 😊
The configurator is definitely on the todo list. RF has gained a lot of support lately, but things like *completely revamping the entire configurator* will take time. What issues are you having with Ethos Suite? Seems to work quite well for me. It's certainly a much better experience than Edge/OpenTX IME.
@@BladeScraper the Mac update link gives you a Windows file, the model edit function is non-functional, photo manager is a mess, RF module manager just shuts Suite down, and generally it looks like student came up with it in his break. But that’s only my opinion lol.
@@ATVHOLICS Have you reported these issues on GitHub? I use the Mac version as well and have not had any issues (though I do not use the image editor). Used it multiple times over this month to update other peoples' radios (including RF) at events and it went fine. Of course one person can have issues and another have none, so if you have issues, you should report them so they're made aware. Side note, the model edit buttons are just placeholders for the future, the feature is not implemented yet. So of course it's not functional :)
@@BladeScraper you obviously can update Mac version then. Very odd. And when you hit the module manager button it doesn’t just take you out of the program? I can’t work GitHub lol.
Rotorflight is an open source helicopter flight control software based on Betaflight (the most common software for FPV quads). Nothing to do with OMP at all :)
@@lachlangreen8389 The Rotorflight firmware is open source, there are several FBL units that run it now, the Nexux from Radiomaster, Flydragon from Steam, G474-HELI from Matek and a few others. The differences between them are what CPU and gyro chip they use and a few more or less ports. You can also build a DIY unit using a servo breakout PCB and multirotor flight controller, Rotorflight can use Betaflight targets to allow any Betaflight compatible FC to run Rotorflight. There are a couple breakout PCB designs around you can upload to JLCPCB or PCBway or whoever and have a small run of them made at a reasonable price.
