AR Wing Pro - Matek F722-WPX

[@nickrcph3284]

great job andrew! as always

[@biscuitbassbroom7306]

ive just finnished looking at yr vid i think it answers most of my questions ….

[@jcfpv3454]

Quick tip if you dont enable frsky osd on uart 6 you will not have any osd it must always be on uart 6. This board only has frsky osd I would have liked the option for inav osd or even both since it seams most will use it on inav and frsky isnt fully developed yet but I am sure will be great. hope it helps someone

[@blueRC]

I am currently looking into buying this wing and had the same FC in mind! Glad to see someone using that combo and it working!

[@AndrewNewton]

Yes, great combo

[@DavieRooker]

Nice one Andrew. It does look like a great wing...must resist.

Thanks for really great delivery of this content. Your my primary youtube mentor for my ar wing pro build. I've looked most the related content from other rc vlogr's ; there's a few stand outs, but for me yours is best 👍

[@AndrewNewton]

Thanks bing. Very kind of you

Looking forward to trying it out when they come in stock in the U.S. Word of caution with iNAV 2.5.2. It's buggy and cost me two aircraft last week to the tune of about $1,000. The 500mm long-range quad started behaving strangely in NAV modes then finally became uncontrollable and crashed. It was well-balanced and vibrations were minimal. The other was a loaded FX-61 that went down on the side of a mountain. The firmware started glitching and went to auto throttle in angle mode but didn't show it on the OSD, then it just randomly disarmed and that was all she wrote. While setting up the quad the motors also armed and idled on the bench. The outputs were disabled. The Quad was running a Matek F722-SE and the FX-61 an F405-Wing.

[@AndrewNewton]

Yes you have had some unusual glitches.

[@raffman4266]

Great vlog sir Andrew! A lovely flight!!

[@AndrewNewton]

Thanks a lot!

[@EnglishTurbines]

Nice job Andrew, have to say I like the new AR wing TBH....Impressed with your launch technique too, maybe a bit of video of you launching next time?

[@AndrewNewton]

Thanks, will do!

@@AndrewNewton I'm looking for a new wing for Summer, to replace my old Z84...

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Hey Andrew, glad to see you answer comments even from some older videos. Super helpful! Is there a reason I don't see people using the F722-Wing anymore? I can find the -WPX and apparently it's great, but I own the F722-Wing and I don't want to add it to a plane if this FC has been recalled for some reason.

[@AndrewNewton]

It's fine, no issues. Just that the WPX style is the new configuration style.

[@janspoelstra8309]

Grabbed the Eachine white kit for €66,00 shipped, going to kit it out with what's in the spare box...

[@AndrewNewton]

Sweet

[@janspoelstra8309]

@@AndrewNewton It arrived today, short delivery times within Europe (Tsjech Republic). Good to see the servo rods and horns are included in the kit. Thinking about covering the large surfaces with light cloth and waterbased varnish, with the general state of my flying field in mind (mud). Should clean up easier after a dirty landing...

[@jhughes2286]

You talk about having to go to the CLI and enter some information from the Matek website to get the barometer working, is that also true of the F405 wing on inav 2.5?

[@AndrewNewton]

No. INAV 2.5 is more recent than the F405-Wing, should detect the baro

[@jhughes2286]

@@AndrewNewton thank you!

[@johndylan9309]

I am finally dipping my toes into iNav. Do you have a recommendation for a type of flight controller to use with this wing and a dji system? Oh yeah and Crossfire.

[@AndrewNewton]

Any of the Matek Wing or WSE boards. F411 can handle DJI with the correct firmware but I would prefer one of the bigger boards.

[@johndylan9309]

@@AndrewNewton I might try the matek f722wpx if I can find one in stock. Is the OSD for iNav decent with DJI Systems? I have it running ok on betaflight but use a Kopilot FC

[@johndylan9309]

@@AndrewNewton does the f405 not work with dji systems?

[@AndrewNewton]

@@johndylan9309 No problems using the F405. But do you understand that DJI doesn't use the INAV OSD chip?

[@johndylan9309]

@@AndrewNewton wait so regardless of matek FC I would not be able to see any OSD display in my dji goggles? Does that mean I am better off just keeping the kopilot as a FC and using any FC with a gps through betaflight

[@etops.flight]

Nice, please post DJI FPV HD system next. Pity DJI don’t support iNav fully for OSD. I’m hoping that it will come soon as I should be purchasing my DJI soon and will maiden with the controversial Rambler Wing.

[@AndrewNewton]

Nothing wrong with the Rambler, I love it.

[@MarcFPV]

I also really like that FC. Question: Do you also have sometimes a strong delay when using the INAV OSD menu? Sometimes it stucks for a second or so. No issues in flight. And What FPV cam do you use? Nice picture quality.

[@AndrewNewton]

Not that I noticed Marc. Runcam Phoenix 2 cam, my favourite

[@MarcFPV]

@@AndrewNewton Ah okay. I have a Phoenix 2 on my speed AR wing. Indeed an awesome camera but it's basically the same as my ratel. I really to look at my settings then xD Might have messed something up.

[@miguelj.cardenas4841]

Andrew..... Sonic Modell AR Wing Pro or ZOHD Dart XL Enhanced Version?

[@AndrewNewton]

Cant choose at this stage. I'll do a side by side video soon

[@frasersteen]

Can you not setup the analogue in parallel with the dji video with another vtx? I have been wondering about this. If I want to take a significant other or family member for a fly it would be good to give them the dji goggles and fly from the analogue feed.

[@AndrewNewton]

Of course, two totally separate FPV systems. Just have to choose channels to be far apart I guess.

[@TheCockneyFlyingCircus]

andrew one question will the gopro hero 9 fit in the front as that camera is a little larger than all the previous ones?

[@AndrewNewton]

More than enough space for the 7 so 8 and 9 should fit easily

[@BryonGaskin]

Out of the box, the throws on this plane are almost double the 12mm. Did you limit the throws in the radio or in INAV? I've done the Drift and the Ranger 2000 in INAV got them flying well in manual mode without any adjustment to the throws. Apparently rule #1 in INAV, no mixing on the radio, seems like changing throws on the radio would fall into that category. I thought I watched on your INAV videos, and I thought you did this in the mixer on INAV. With the AR WING PRO, seems like you are limited in mechanically adjusting the throws due to the 1 hole on the control horn.

[@AndrewNewton]

Are you testing throws with elevon mixing (50 aileron / 50 elevator) or using full 100% input? If you're using an INAV flight control board then all mixing is done in INAV, and you can reduce the mix weights to whatever is appropriate.

[@BryonGaskin]

@@AndrewNewton . Basically, I have my mixer setup like yours (except servos are 2 nd 3 instead of 3 and 4). The confusion for me is (everyone says set your plane up mechanically in manual mode before you hook an FC to it). Flying without an FC in manual and you mix in the throws in the radio and the plane flies well. Now you move to INAV and you remove all mixing. So if I understand correctly the process would be: 1. Trim mechanically and get flying well in (without the aid of a flight controller ) this would also include adjusting your throws in the radio 2. Load INAV on to an FC and set your plane up as a wing 3. Remove all mixing from the radio (trims/weights/etc) 4. In the Servos tab DO NOT ADJUST the weights (only reverse servos as needed in order to get the pitch working in the correct direction) 5. In the Mixer tab (set the servos up like you have 50% stabilized role, 50% Stabilized pitch for both servos with the weights with a "-" in front of them if needed in order to get the "high 5" of the control surfaces working correctly

[@AndrewNewton]

3. Yes that's correct as long as you remove the elevon mixing in your radio as well. 5. and you can reduce the 50% values if required to get the right throws in Manual Mode.

[@locky2859]

Hi, I know Sonic model recommend to use a 4S Lipo or Li-ion but do you think it would work fine on 3S ? Maybe with a different motor and prop combo. I am looking to do long range flights with it and i already have 2 sefl-made 18650 Li-ion batteries and it would be a bummer to open and re-do them. Otherwise, I love your work, great videos.

[@AndrewNewton]

Yes of course, just needs a bigger prop

[@egtreadway4232]

Great review, I'm trying to get my ar wing pro ready for maiden but can't get the sonicmodell 40amp esc to work. I've wired it to my f405-wing like I've always done setup inav 3.0.1 like always but this thing just beeps slowly and constantly it won't program using inav or radio, only thing is I'm not using the build in servo connector on this esc, what's the purpose of this connector? Is it required to make it work? Thanks for video

[@AndrewNewton]

Not using the servo connector? Must connect the black and yellow/white wires to the FC (but not the red wire)

[@egtreadway4232]

Thanks Mr Newton I'll give it a try

[@boosmoogames]

Hello Andrew, Why did you use the matek 722 wing instead of the 405 wing?

[@AndrewNewton]

Partly a review of the F722 WPX.

[@boosmoogames]

@@AndrewNewton Is there a lot of difference?

[@chrispfligler5892]

About to purchase either this or the talon gt rebel. Which would you choose for medium range? Thanks in advance.

[@AndrewNewton]

Hard to separate them. It would come down to whether you prefer flying wings or planes with a rudder. For me it's the Talon GT.

@@AndrewNewton Awesome video Mr Newton as always. I have a few questions as it would really help me decide on which to purchase between this wing and the chaser C1, I like this wing more but here goes... 1. What is the max flight time and amps you get at cruising with the stock motor with prop, a Flight controller, normal 40a esc, 3300 mah 4s lipo, and fpv gear which is mostly an fpv camera, vtx and a 50g cheap go pro ? 2. With the above components installed, does the ar wing pro require more weight at the nose to get the CG correct ? Thanking you in advance !

[@lee_fpv]

i would like to ask which wing did you prefer more for stable long range.. ZOHD DART XL or AR WING PRO??

Dart XL has less wobble. Carrying capacity would be about the same.
