Ranger T1 Maiden, Ardupilot, Walksnail

This is my stock T1 with a Matek F405 FC running Arduplane 4.3 and a Walksnail 1S Lite kit.
Very boring flight, but that’s exactly what I wanted for a maiden and to do the Autotune.

Thanks for sharing, good to see the autotune process :+1:

Nice location! There’s something about those rolling hills and fields. :slight_smile:

Some odd stuff going on with the WS video on the left of the screen. (and the right to a lesser extent).I guess because it’s only the 1S board and so is only 500mW?

I’m new to WS but is that not ‘focus’ mode which everybody turns off :thinking:

Yes, that’s the focus mode. It normally doesn’t bother me, as I tend to take flight video off the VTX and it’s not on there. This was just a quick grab off the VRX so it’s visible in the upload.

The VTX is awkward to get at in the T1 (because of where I’ve mounted it) and I’ll probably put the Thumb Pro on it for actual flight video.

Yeah it’s focus mode, same as the DJI when bandwidth lowers prioritises the middle portion, didn’t WS used to ruin the bottom of the video, nice to see they’re doing the side (as you want to see the middle section really if have a choice!) Definitely coming on that WS is. Kinda regretting selling up the WS VRX!

Nice flight too. How you finding the T1 @spynappels ? I nearly nearly got that instead of my cheap and dirty AR900. These bi motored planes are definitely quieter. T1 be nice as it has the VTOL option (for 2024 though, no new stuff till 2024… Come on Gunja… No…)
