We fly those in a UAS program. We plate the elevons with 1/32 aircraft ply on the bottom and use a stiffer horn. Also, upgrade pushrods to 2mm or 2/56. Otherwise, you are in strong risk of flutter, the horn bending over or the pushrod buckling under pressure. What comes in the kit is trash. You might get away with it for a short while, but you won't eternally.

It should do the job. For sure with the X8. Docs say it works well with their X5 which is closer to the size of the Caipirinha 2 so I think it will work well. The battery is well captured in the Caipirinha 2 because it barely fits as is. Lol BIG tail on the Skyhunter 1800 required I remove the two rear rods sticking up. The tail would snag on them for sure. I think I got a good shot at it. 😊

Vern, getting back to you on this, wondering if you have tried the notch filtering on the Heewing VTOL yet. I have set my Skyhunter VTOL aside for the moment (it doesn’t hover well at all), and just tried out the Heewing T1 VTOL PNP. With the stock firmware (v4.4.2) it hovers quite nicely. But I’ve been in conversation with Andy Piper and he really recommends using his notch filter parameters. Trouble is, as I’ve discovered, one needs to flash the ESCs with Bluejay to make them DShot compatible, which means first setting up DShot and DShot Pass-through in Ardupilot (something I’m trying to wrap my head around).

I didn't get any time for myself. I don't know your situation, but balancing a parent's pride and independence with a need for care can be complex and draining for a caregiver.
