Beginner wing build

If you watch the servos they are working opposite as as one goes up the other goes DOWN!

so when you switch them because they are physically reversed fixed on the wing they are just being reversed

To test this connect one, say the left and test if it works with the stick to the left

then connect it to the other and test it (the left) when the stick to the right but it should now go down

Yes they backwards so will work… the opposite to each other. I’d definitely make sure they are linked to the correct one though! Whichever is left and right make sure correct mate

In iNav you can test 3ach one too. So check thwtm i.e. move left wing in iNav only the left comes on… Also on the bench with a prop on…you a brave man (switching servos live isn’t much of an issue though.

It’s a mixer issue in the configuration
Plug the servos into the correct ports as shown in the mixer diagram
Put it in ANGLE tilt the plane as indicated in the SECOND part of the High Five test shown below. Use the configuration mixer reverse boxes to get the correct movement
Only when the craft now responds correctly move the transmitter sticks according to the FIRST part of the test. If sticks are NOT correct reverse the output direction in the TRANSMITTER

Hope this helps, if you are still struggling I’ll come up to help or maybe we can do a video call and I can show you on mine

TX Stick Test

roll stick right - right evelon goes UP
roll stick left - left evelon goes UP
pitch stick up - both evelons go down
pitch stick down - both evelons go up

Auto-stabilise (angle mode)

wing rolls right - left evelon goes up
- right evelon goes down
wing rolls left - left evelon goes down
- right evelon goes up
wing climbs - both evelons go down
wing dives - both evelons go up

It does as you described Steve. So I’m happy it will fly :thinking::thinking:
It was just messing with my head that swapping the leads over they still moved in the same direction. My head is getting round it. It just wasn’t intuitive and went against the grain. Wayne put my thinking process on the right path when he said about the way they mount on the wings

how does one take off in manual and not auto launch?

Get someone else to throw it for you.
You are ready controller in hand goggles on and ready with the wing armed.
You say go and they throw it as you give it throttle and control the climb and direction.

thanks I had visions of trying to control sticks and throw at the same time with enough throttle to get it out of your hand…

not something I thought I could do…

anybody follow this one

I’ve got proven auto-launch CLI settings for most wing sizes if you are interested :smiley:

I was gunna say I’ve got a diff all from my AR Wing PRO that was perfect. Shame the pilot wasn’t so perfect :rofl: :man_facepalming:t2:

I’ve copied the ones from Painless

So will see next time it’s a calm day and I chuck it in the air.

But could be tempted. :grin:

As I mentioned in another thread.
Inav 7 may be a good idea.

You can do this on version 4,0 onwards

Still need to make my video on this. But yes I dis armed, and rearmed loads and loads, I landed un armed a few times, can do this pre v 7 easy, and don’t just get 5 seconds :slight_smile: (though 5 seconds is probably ages!)

Time to get the video done for Deano ( and me) :grin:

got myself mc8-multifunctional -checker on your recommendations. and under 10 min was able to balance my Aileron.
Even for someone like my easy to use .

Great tool yes. It’s that long click that confused me for a while to switch between auto1,2,3 manual, and centre that got me :slight_smile:

It’s blinking useful for the hobby and how much was it these days?

got from hobby rc cheaper than ebay and amazon and shipped from Uk

Got the DJI 03 air unit, cannot believe how short the cables are. First thing I did was swap the power cable to the one that comes with the flight controler and order a new longer cable for the camera. The camera has such a wide view, I guess this needs to be forward of any obstruction from the side. Spent all weekend making camera mounts and cady’s, I may just land up mounting the camera on the top. All my ideas seem impractical over engineered for the worst case scenario .

the horizontal fov field of view is 155 degrees if you are building a mount

anybody know the vertical fov as I cannot seem to find it

recommend a mount that protects the camera as they are not cheap
