Best kopilot lite setup tutorial I've seen

I could not get correct until watching your video. Great information Dutch!

A very good job on explaining everything very clearly, especially the calibration needed twice. Very easy to follow your instructions. I am expecting my Kopilot this week and the wing is completed and ready. Thank you (new subscriber)

Awesome video, dude! Thanks a lot! 😃 That board really looks much simpler!

This video definitely makes it a lot more simple. Thanks.

Another great video tutorial. I did notice a lot of water in the field there. Looks like it's been a wet winter there. Not too bad here we had a bit of a cold stretch but it's above freezing again. Just a lot of rain now the last couple days. I need to get out and run an RC for a review and that's not happening right now. Oh well Chinese new year is happening so no one at BG is going to notice :-) cheers and have a great weekend!

Very good job , great explanations , and as usual a great video.

You make a good point about how the stabilizer can hide problems with the plane. But, In a newbies, case.. that might be a good thing.. otherwise... a balance problem or trim problem could cause the plane to immediately crash into the ground with out the stabilizer on the maiden flight. Experienced pilots know what to look for, but when you are learning... sometimes you miss those points. So a flight stabilizer can be a double edged sword. With my XK A1200, I recently crashed it for the first time, after trying to wean myself from the stabilizer. I would shut it off.. and if I got into a jam.. I flipped it back on... Last flight... I was too late.. and plane slammed into the earth.. lol. Learning.. always learning.. great video.. thank you.

Looking great Thanks for sharing :-)

Thank you so much for detailed Installation guide! 👍 I bought a Kopilot Llite together with a Zohd Drift. Unfortunately, I‘m having big problems getting a connection to the Kopilot. I‘m using a Crossfire Nano + Taranis QX7S + Crossfire module. The Connection between Crossfire Nano and Crossfire Module seems to be fine (solid green light). I‘ve created a simple 4 Channel model in my Taranis and added a 3 way switch as channel 5. For the transmitter output, I‘ve selected external and Crossfire. With this setup, no input reaches the Kopilot. The Kopilot is permanently in balanced mode (flashing green light). I can select different plane types using the set button of the settings board in this mode, but this does not solve the issue. Surprisingly, this setup worked before I played around with small settings board. It seems that - by accident - I‘ve messed something up within the Kopilot. Is there factory reset for the Kopilot available. Can you provide some hints for troubleshooting this issue? 🧐

Hi Dutch, very nice autopilot system with stabilization, I have buy it for my EDF jet Freewing 64mm Lippisch P.15. 😀

Hi, thank you so much for this wonderful and eazy to follow instructions. For me everything seems to work fine except that my motor works only if I use not stabilize mode. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Hello, nice video...can the kopilot be mounted upside down?

Great how to mate, I am just waiting for Two Kopilots to go in my gliders Thanks for putting this vid up. I read that this has launch assist ?

Great video will now install on my Bixler. Fitness dab

Might I suggest that, if you are going to show an installation procedure on an electronic or other item, please demonstrate the installation as prescribed by the manufacturer with the provided equipment. To change the items midstream causes confusion, as not everyone might know what an s-bot(?) is. If you wish to add other items or replacement items, please show them afterward. Thank you.

Hi, I've built the ZOHD Kopilot into the Sonicmodell Binary and everything seems to be working fine. I was curious how long the GPS unit normally takes to connect to the satellites? Yesterday I had the GPS search for the first time and it took 15 minutes to connect. This afternoon I tried again and then it took half an hour. The GPS is installed in the usual way behind the wing on the platform and has no other electronics nearby. What could be the reason why the connection is so bad? I use the standard GPS unit that is supplied with the Kopilot. Sincerely, Casper van Beek

Hi! Great video. Questions: 1. My wing flies well in normal mode. It flies also well in stab mode but I have almost no control in this mode. The travel of Ail and Ele is much less in this mode, almost nothing. Why? Using a frsky taranis q7. 2. For the throttle to work on my controller I have to inverse it (weight -100 on Taranis). 3. I cannot calibrate the plane (sticks inside and down). The green leds won't flash after 5 seconds. Thanks.

*HELP* I have the ZOHD almost fully working but all 3 modes have stablization. my first switch -100, seems to be RTH, middle, i though would be manual but it is not, and the bottom switch (100) seems to be stablized mode. can anyone help me why is my "manual" mode stablizated too??

Thanks Again! Just curious why you prefer the SBUS receiver instead of the PWM?

Great review! Does this work along with graupner receivers?

Hello, I’ve seen your video on KZfaq about the nano talon with kopilot. How do you set failsafe on the transmitter for RTH? I’ve seen the following options: Hold No pulse Custom-set I have a taranis x7 tx I’d like the plane to enter RTH is signal is lost or if I flip RTH switch on.

This video helped me tremendously. Only thing I can’t figure out now is why my throttle has so much deadband (from like 0-40%). Do you have any ideas? I’m setting up the ZOHD 250g Dart

Excellent instructional video! Great stuff! Did you record a video of a demo flight with this stabiliser? Thanks :-)

Thanks for the excellent video! Do you know if it would work with a DJI air unit? I am not sure if you can switch the channels on the DJI transmitter (and receiver).

My gps wires were severed in a crash. Do you know which pins are which on the kopilot so that I can reconnect them?

I love your video. I'm trying to set up the Kopilot, but when I start I don't have any green lights. Just one blinking red light (because I'm in a concrete building), and no green lights. Two green lights come on when it first starts up, but after it goes through its setup, both green lights go off. Have you seen this? Do you know what this means?

Hi Dutch , great video and thanks so much .... really detailed and i have been struggling with this for sometime , as so many you tube videos skip the details and simple terminology, and the step by step , pausing as well... one question , can i mount this inside the belly of my conventional T cub trainer.. due to room, very difficult to mount on top of fuselage and i would have to keep taking ( bolts ) the wing off if i need to get access .. okay to place in the compartment under the belly ? -thank you

First off, thank you for your great video, lots of useful information! Question: I flew with my ZOHD Kopilot, it works great in gyro, I switched to GPS in flight and throttle goes to Max. Is there a way to make the throttle to maybe 70% ?

What is an S-Buss receiver? What does it do and do I really need it?

How do I connect a Remote ID Module to the ZOHD Kopilot? What model is compatible.

Can you pls. Covered how use spectum receiver? DX6 transmitter

Does the sBus receiver take the place of the receiver I already have?

Hi good vid but as with all others I have seen no comment about fail safe return home setup or test I have been flying and testing nano talon for 12 months and after zohd stabilizer and Inav I have serious doubts about SBus especially after going PWM and all the flaky disappeared ya? as in ailerons not centering and rudder same and then all good again o yes and disconnecting the link between the receiver and the controller NOT A GOOD LOOK and cost one plain and many other what the ---- I personally think the link is having to much to do OVER LOAD was using frsky XM+ rx and taranis X7-Q tx all the best phil

my RTH mode doesn't work. Is there a way to factory reset the copilot?

I just ordered o. Ebay just now, can i use my spectrum Tx?

whats the flying range with that sbus receiver you're using in this video?

Great video! Whenever I switch to RTH or stabilized modes, the motor turns off. Any idea what's going on?

I do not have a 3 position switch for my flight mode (Spekrtum DX6i DSM2), only a 2 position switch, therefore, how do I know which settings these 2 positions activate?

Thanks! Anyone know who has the Kopilot Lite in stock?

Thank you for your Vidio. I have a multiplex heron rx glider with 2 servo flaps and 2 servo ailerons for setting wing camber reflex etc etc I am looking for a RTH system that can my linked to my 6 channel Spektrum receiver which has Sbus telemetry Vario etc installed Can you advise what system would be suitable for a glider with more complex wing servos Warren Massey Durban South Africa

Do you have a link to where you got that receiver from?

mine wont level calibrate

Bedankt voor de goede video, eerst deed alles het, maar nu reageert het vliegtuig niet meer op de receiver input en reageert de flightcontroller niet (1 led rood blijf flikkeren) op de set button, behalve als ik hem 10sec ingedrukt houd, dan gaat 1 aileron (wing) omhoog omlaag(voorheen deden beide vleugels dat? Enig idee? Is de flightcontroller defect of de esc?

After finishing the settings, to save this settings: 1. Removing the setting-board. 2. Disconnect the battery. or: 1. Disconnect the battery. 2. Removing the setting-board. ?

Ich arbeite gerade an dem Kopilot lite und da stellt sich mir eine Frage. Wenn ich einen Failsafe (Ch5=RTL) einstelle, müsste ich auch Ch3/Gas auf 40/50% stellen? Oder gibt er selbst Gas? Im Trockenversuch schaltet der Motor ab. I am currently working on the copilot lite and I have a question. If I set a Failsafe (Ch5 = RTL), should I also set Ch3 / Throttle to 40/50%? Or is he accelerating himself? The motor switches off in the dry test.

I was checking for an updated video on this very well done tutorial but you don't appear to have posted 1. A couple of points that need comments. Change the Kopilot pots for correct stabilization response before you do the radio output directions. Reversing the pots also reverses the stick directions. It has caught our old mate out a few times. (He forgets to do a pre-flight check occasionally.😜) A lot of folks have complained that pulling the setting board off after power down causes the settings to be lost but pulling before doesn't. Seems a bit counterintuitive. We've not checked it but I was wondering if doing the radio first might have something to do with it. Also you mistook the direction of travel of the RAD/RTH pot to change Fence Radius. Left (counterclockwise) towards 1 is towards 100m and right (clockwise) towards 2 is to max of 300m. We don't use Fence but I checked it and found that if you fly (in Manual or Stabilized) well past the fence boundary and then select Fence, it reacts just as if you had hit the fence wall. IE if below 35m above home height it flies out straight until it has climbed up to 35m then (provided it hasn't hit anything 😁) turns, climbs to 70 meters and heads for home. On autopilot until it enters the fence area again when you can retake control by moving the right stick. (A/E - mode2 Tx) We run them on Volantex G2, ZOHD Drift, ZOHD Dart250g and Sonicmodell Mini AR Wing so far. The Mini AR suits us Old Farts - rough, fast and bounces well! 😆

Hey, Just received my ZOHD drift today and I've found a problem. When I connect the included GPS to the Ko-Pilot Flight Controller the LED on the FC doesn't seem to light up like its supposed to. I know the GPS is getting power since the LED on the actual GPS is solid red but it isn't sending any info the the FC. Do you know what I could do to fix the problem? Thanks

En waar vlieg je dan in Nederland? Heb een Nano Talon evo liggen met Kopilot en gps, maar weet eigenlijk niet wat ik er mee moet.

Hi, does it matter which way up you install the GPS Module :)

Can you mount the kopilot upside down?

Will the Kopilot conflict with the Orbits(preinstalled) stabilizer?

Hi I can install for boats that ok? Thanks

Great video. I downloaded one of those pdf manuals and it says LED 1 is T Tail, it’s NOT!!! Had me scratching my head for ages until I found your tutorial. Thanks for the help. Keep up the good work and happy flying ✈️ 🇬🇧

To find any flaws of your plane you can just switch to manual mode

😎👍

OMG: you have a 4.58 AD on your video and no way to bypass !!! WHY?

it is not a stabilizer but more of an autopilot

Just count LEDs from AIL text, why to confuse yourself and your viewers

CAUTION: RTH height is 70m.....but 80m would be better
