@@2strokeme64 I have... It ummm... didn't go well. XD Being unfamiliar with fixed wings, I accidentally setup the autopilot system in the FC backwards, and so when I threw it with launch assist on it just rolled over inverted and took a nose dive. I'm working on repairing it, but without ever having flown a wing before, the launch assist mode is awesome as long as you set it up right. Wings are tricky to learn how to fly though.

@@2strokeme64 The one i came with had its own proprietary ZOHD flight controller with a little control joystick thing, no USB for BF or iNav. So if yours comes with that you could just try that out. I'm sure a more complete FC will give you extra things like OSD and RTH arrow in the screen. Either way, if you've never flown a wing before, double triple quadruple check that your control surfaces move in the right direction with your roll and pitch stick, and also that your control surfaces move the right way when in autolevel mode to compensate for being tossed around... I had the first one right, but I had the second one wrong.

Beautiful pics Andrew ! See any whales out there ?? Nice seeing that big Wedgy going over the top. We get a nice look at them hovering on the sharp edges at Smiths beach Pi. They can be so still in the air on the Cliff like a kite and then bank off at 60 knots down the line. Wonderful stuff.

Nice looking wing, unusual being swept forward, in the real world they had problems making them strong enough for aerobatic flying, and prone to flapping at higher speeds, But for a model no problemo! I enjoyed your flying site as much as the wing! great vid thanks Andrew I get visited very regularly by eagles, Hawks, and Owls?? they come, they look, as soon as they figure they cant eat the model, they just do laps as they soar away no longer interested, on one occasion I had a dozen hawks? raptor types anyway, all circling 3 meters above me (I didn't know they flocked? but they did!) checking my models as the models sat on the ground, there is a bird sanctuary not too far from the field where I fly and a Lake, so the hawks/eagles can get food, rabbits, nesting birds lakeside and Snakes! Not to mention Pellicons, seagulls Crows, Magpies, Ibis, I believe the Big Eagles come from the Otway's a few K's away.

Hello Andrew I have gotten a second kopilot and it must be something I am doing wrong because when I switch to stability mode I have almost no controll. It takes forever to make a turn or to climb. I was hoping you could steer me in the right direction. I watch all your videos,especially the zohd ones.
@AndrewNewton 4 жыл бұрын
Need to increase your throws so that Manual flies well on 50% rates, then use 100% rates for Stabilised
@DavidReynolds-kr6yh 4 жыл бұрын
You have to set it to fly good in manual mode first, then set up stability mode. I think it was painless 360 that has a really good video on how to do it. Look for his latest video on how to set it up, because his previous video was confusing some people. In his newer one he breaks it down much more simply.
