In INAV we trust - Autolaunch is always now my default. I've never had a bouncy landing like that, though if you go too slow on your approach it will snap stall

Great video! I'm glad you've found a balance with the Dolphin... lol It really is a wonderful plane when it's all dialed in and working well. I love the tape on the wings! Great chase footage from Toby!

Fantastic, dude! It's great to know the upgrades were worth it! 😃 About auto trim, you can activate it 100% of the time in the general tab I believe... Many people do it and it never causes any issues. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Super love the quad footage !!!!!! Great job Lads 🤗😉😎

Great upgrades and tips. Amazing flight footage, almost looked CGI.

great to see you got it flying better!

Thanks for the update!

That footage looks great - Autolauch is AWESOME, always use it

As for the autotune and changes on servo horns. Autotune adjusts FF value which basically limits the throws of elevons. Instead of doing 10minutes of flying in autotune I suggest you create a second OSD layout that is active when autotune is enabled. On this layout display PIDs and FF for roll and pitch. Doing autotune then you'll notice FF values to change. When they stop changing (and this happens usually after a one or two minute aggresive flight) you are done with autotune for a given axis. This is way better than blindly doing autotune. Running mine on F90 1300kv with 8x6 / 8x5 props. Easy launches on autolaunch and pretty efficient too. 75mAh/km at 70ish km/h speed.

these are great platforms, i encourage everyone to look at this plane first

I had similar problems when launching, even with autolaunch. It was fixed by a combination of: -quite high idle throttle and relatively low launch throttle to minimise torque roll -when throwing the plane, hold it right above your shoulder by the skids, and throw it straight to the front. If you keep it to the right of you, trying to keep distance from the propeller, when you finish the throw, you will release the skids unevenly and input additional roll.

I always have continuous trim on for inav planes. works like a charm

Never had a problem bouncing when landing. It all depends on the weight of the plane, the heavier it is, the more speed will be required when landing.

I have about 20 landings on mine, and haven't had the bou0nce issue? Maybe that TPU nose is the culprit, as you mention? I'm still running the stock motor on the included pink prop (I think it's a 5"?) and will upgrade the motor and prop combo soon, thanks for the tip on the F90

I almost bought another dolphin but instead went with a second Strix Goblin 👹

I always had torque roll with autolaunch, it did like two rolls before it stabilized but always continued flying but it was scare and the reason was too much throttle but mainly my throwing technique. I was throwing it like a wing, holding it by the wind and side tossing. Then I saw some guys throw it like a dart and I was first afraid of my fingers but then tried it and it launches perfectly. Have exactly the same battle scars as you on mine. Your landing seems to fast. Have a longer slowdown phase near the ground and flare up. The nose tends to get stuck on taller grass tho.

Land it Goggles up....there are FAR more visual cues landing LOS....You have to slow it up and bleed off the speed. Thats more difficult to see under the Goggles....Its just a fact because its subtle....🤔😏😏😏😏🇬🇧

It's the nose causing the bounce. The normal nose it won't bounce

Have fun while it lasts.

Wonder if it’s less likely to bounce if you used tk pointy nose cone vs the flat one. I think the flat one will catch on any small mound of grass?

I use emax eco 1700kv with 7x4,5 prop. I try to keep it below 4A. That gives me over 1h on 4S 21700 4000mah pack. I love it.

Can I ask you what your autolaunch settings are? I have the stock motor (for now)

Please share your INAV settings so we can see the detailed changes/improvements you made. Thank you.

I've heard nothing but good things about this AtomRC Dolphin. I'm a longtime lurker in the FPV field, only very limited RC experience with a quadcopter drone really, but I want to lean fixed wing to do some [ultimately] long range FPV . Could you see a newbie starting with this airframe?

There's a maneuver called flare which means flying close to ground for a few seconds while landing to decrease the ground effect by loosing somebspeed. You need to do that m

What prop did you use mate ???

Do you have a link to that vinyl? Looks awesome.

i fly mine flat nose a ok landing wings are thin in my opinion bad landing spar can pop through but saying that im on no5 dolphin ii do like em

How to landing inav wing

What prop are you using now?

Are you using a 6*4 prop

Holographic tapes improving speed are a joke really?

You are landing too fast.
