Well I think I finally have the Ft spear in a state that I'm going to maiden it after my little fiasco with the FT arrow and had it fly out of control and plant itself in the top of some trees I didn't want to risk the same thing happening with a 300 dollar Gopro Hero 3 on the front so I have been waiting for the cheap nock off action cams to go on sale and I picked one up for 39 bucks Canadian and if I loose that camera I will not have to cry so long LOL. I have also installed the RadioLink Byme-D gyro and it actually seems to be working well. I have the Flysky receiver setup for PPM and everything is working correctly even the mode switch and the motor lock are working. The elevons are working correctly and in stabilize mode reacts correctly and I can switch to gyro and manual modes as well. I took some pics of the final setup with me luck! |

Well good or Bad I will give a full report and there will be film or should I say video @ eleven LOL. IM hoping being much bigger than the FT arrow and having The Byme type D gyro that it should at least be manageable. I've ordered a Byme type A the other day going to try it out as well. From what others have posted these gyros work great on some plane designs and not so good on others. eventually I want to add a VTX and a runcam and try my hand at FPV but also going to need FPV headset perhaps Mrs Santa claus will get them for me for Christmas. ultimate I want to get a flight controller Like Burko uses something Like is in my DJI Quads that has GPS and can be programmed with waypoints and RTH etc. Then I will have a poor mans Parrot Disco.

The black magic of flight controllers can either be as simple or complex as you would like. The sparrow or the nb one plus are simple and effective, but don't have OSD. Although barrett lost the airloader with the latter and we don't know why yet, it just took off on him, so I think the 30 dollar ones may be a touch risky. The sparrow 3 has osd and a lot of customization that you can do with them. Then finally you get to the matek/omnibus etc and those are where you can do INAV and waypoint missions, and are also the most complex to set up and easiest to mess up. I only have one plane flying on it, and I don't quite have it figured out yet, so I don't let it get too far away from me. |
