endlich fliegt er…
Walkera 2609 RX (from 4G6 Heli), Walkera 2801Pro TX, PROGMIX für differential Schub, AP02 Outrunner Motors, XP 3A ESCs, proportionaler Aktuator am Höhenruder, 240mAh oder 400mAh 20C Zippy, AUW 30gm (240mAh), AUW 34gm (400mAh)
Some impressions:
After all, it’s still an X-Twin Acrobat/Rolling Fury, it feels pretty similar to the stock version. Stability from the dihedral is still there but a bit lower (due to higher weight i guess).
What’s really great is that there is no more slow reaction or range issues. Also the roll-rate is much higher, i can really turn/roll it from side to side in no time. Still playing around with the mixcurve though. At first it was way to nervous around midstick aileron i.e. rolling like crazy. I’ve flattened the curve near midstick and thats much better.
Also it is much faster due to higher weight an the brushless motors.
I’ve put some tape on the props to get more thrust and this worked, static thrust of the plane is now near 30g with fresh lipo. I was getting about 20g static with one motor alone on my testbed – don’t know what happend. Even with a 1s 850mah Zippy only 30g for the plane.
Today was mostly calm but with some nasty gusts so not the perfect conditions, im really looking forward to fly it under perfect condition. Indoor is not an option because its way to fast (3-court gym wouldnt even be big enough i guess).
Little problem with the bl setup is that the motors / esc sometimes cut off on startup, i.e. i have to avoid pulling throttle down too far because the ESCs take about a second to initialize and start up the motors again – this second will often result in a crash.
It seems that i have gotten one bad motor that does this cutoff on startup more often, maybe ill replace that one. Or its the 3A ESCs that are to weak.
The elevator actuator seems to be at it’s limit with this setup. Not enough torque. I’ve tried to make the elevator area bigger with some tape but then the actuator cannot pull the elevator all the way due to the airflow from the props. So maybe i’ll go for a 1.5g Spektrum servo.
Whats really great is that the thing still has mad power with 34g AUW (400mAh Zippy).
To sum it up, the RX/TX with mixing option, super fast reaction and no range issues is the best part, the BL motors performance and cutoffs are not quite perfect yet. Overall its still an acrobat / fury and i like the mod for that.
Ok, das Video ist nicht neu ( Jan. 2009), aber was Gabriel aus Brasilien macht ist einfach beeindruckend. Unglaublich. Wohl nicht legal in Deutschland, aber trotzdem. Aufgenommen an Originalschauplätzen in Rio de Janeiro – was will man mehr – zeigt Gabriel in diesem best of dass er sich nicht zu schade ist durch Straßentunnel zu fliegen oder durch offene Fenster in seine Wohnung zu segeln. Wahrscheinlich ein 1~ GHz Setup mit ein paar mehr mW…
Jedenfalls ist es für mich das beste FPV Video aller Zeiten – oder zeig mir etwas besseres! Kommentar aus dem FPV Forum: “Den Herren vom Deutschen Modellflieger Verband würden die Haare zu Berge stehen.” – Das ist mir genug des Lobes, hier ist das Video:
