As a fixed wing flyer of many years, I fancied having a go at a quad. I followed your build of the SpeedyBee quad and was quite impressed with the results, but couldn’t get along with BetaFlight after using iNav for so long. This video was just the guidance I needed to swap over. I followed it to the letter and today had a terrific few flights under iNav. Many thanks and keep up the good work.

@shanemshort 2 месяца назад

As someone going the other way i'm curious what you found different/difficult with betaflight vs inav?

@user-ho2sb9nh1u 2 месяца назад

@@shanemshort It was purely the case of I can’t be bothered to learn a new system. Both systems are good, but I know iNav very well so don’t see any reason to use Betaflight. I’m only a casual flyer, not a flippy, spinny one so basic functionality is ok for me.

a very good video showing the possibilities offered by Inav with GPS, but I miss one function that was added in version 7, which is maintaining the speed, direction and altitude preferred for longer flights. I have just assembled the drone myself on the same frame, on SpeedyBee 7V3 with GPS from WS and I am waiting for VTX Avatar 4K, but I am still setting everything up because the weather in Poland is as bad for flights as in yours 😉 PS. Which software does the drone fly better with in your opinion?

@operaswift8623 3 месяца назад

Very helpful as I'm thinking about moving my 8s X-Class to iNav. To be fair though, I am very lost when it comes to filtering and tuning as well as how to setup vtx tables in iNav. I fully understand that you want to cater to a wide audience with these more widely applicable videos, however sometimes I'd wish for a more deep dive kind of style. No criticism, youre doing fantastic. But maybe when it comes to tuning, a throughout guide from you would be awesome, as your way of explaining things methodically is way better than watching random people talking with semi-knowledge. So, just in case youre running out of content (which Im convinced youre not), I'd be very happy if you tackled how to tune filters and PIDs also with recommendations (I know you have a video on that but its very dated and I couldnt extract much from it/use it for my build) and as mentioned secondary, the thing on how to implement VTX tables in INAV would also be interesting. All the best and happy flying!

@Painless360 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the idea. Selecting the type of model at the start of the setup will help setup things like that well from the start. Content creators like Pawel would be another great person to ask for that kind of depth content.. Best of luck!

@Painless360 3 месяца назад

Every setup step I used for the test flight is shown... No need to add ALTHOLD. If you are using only 6 channels then you could look at some mixing for CH6 to give you more than the three positions. That'll allow you to have extra things setup. See my Video on how I setup my radio for INAV.. Happy flying

I added a GPS and compass module to my 3" quad that was originally on BF. Installed INAV 6 and have had a lot of fun with POH and RTH features. Did not get around to waypoints yet. But might just upgrade it to INAV 7. Does INAV have something like the new BF which is the EZ land feature - i.e. AirMode is turned off automagically ?

Not yet.

RTH in Inav 7 works about the same als BF 4.5 except for more precision because of the compass & position hold right?

@Painless360 3 месяца назад

Because of that use of a compass, it is far more reliable in wind. It's why professional systems use a compass as well as a GPS for autonomous flight. Betaflight uses a neat workaround to avoid using a compass but it isn't foolproof. The compass unlocks many additional benefits. See m.youtube.com/watch?vpfrNsW5s-cs for more detail. Happy flying

@@Painless360I solved the problem. It is imperative to install the compass according to the INAV instructions, namely at a distance of at least 5 cm from the video transmitter and power cables. My compass was 3 cm from the O3 unit video transmitter. When I moved the GPS module with the compass 5 cm away from the video transmitter by 5 cm, lo and behold, the compass worked perfectly. Return to home and hold position now works reliably and very accurately. Included a 3km return home, the drone landed 1.5 meters from the take-off point. If you don’t fly far, it lands 20-70cm from the take-off point. INAV 7.1.0 is great.
