Arduplane VTOL Tailsitter: Software setup, first flights, & first transitions

I know i've kind of done this before but i'm trying to normalize me uploading videos. here's software setup on an Arduplane VTOL tailsitter.
We're also working on a VTOL Skywalker x8. That's going to be a fun video.

This is a pretty accurate look into the chaotic mind of an aero/mechE student/grad student lol

I love it when a plan comes together.

[@TOMSHOBBY]

You are a brave to test inside

[@peterdlynes]

Very impressive. I plan to try this soon.

I was only able to install firmware to radiolink pixhawk with QGC on linux. I compiled APM Planner 6 times, it didn't work, tried MP, QGC and APM Planner on windows, -with resetting drivers for like 10 times-, these also didn't work. It took me 2 weeks to load the firmware correctly. So if you are having trouble with it, I recommend QGC on linux. Both PX4 and ArduX worked well.

Loving the music selection! Lol

Butter.

[@irvgotti4004]

Well... you just inspired me to spend a couple bills and building a arkbird vtol 😆

[@albertomazzanti8510]

Really impressive ! Can I ask you what kind of flight mode do you use for take off and landing ? I'm ready to test mine but when I switch to QLoiter for take off with the wing vertical, the aileron are not flat but as like as the wing has to roll left. Is this normal ? Thank you very much

[@sibujacob977]

Hi, cool video ....... Have you progressed this to a flight controller and tried autonomous missions

[@nevillepienaar5447]

Hi Tarik can you tel me on the radio setup How you have set it up is it if you can show me on a video please thanks neville

[@user-bv2kv8hx5d]

To transit flight from quad mode to wing mode and back do you use switch? How it happen?

[@ohitstarik]

yup, i set switch down to stabilize mode for airplane, and switch up to qstabilize, for hover.

[@Clayiant]

Very cool and informative! What airframe is it?

[@SAMETELMACI]

süper video sağol

[@AllAroundTube50]

I don;t know how you guys can use Ardupilot. The UI sucks so bad! Trying to set up a new VTOL in MIssionPlanner is impossible. Really hoping INav comes out with something for VTOL soon.

[@ohitstarik]

thankfully its not the UI that flies the plane

[@AllAroundTube50]

@@ohitstarik - nope, but if the UI were as friendly as Inav or Betaflight, many more people would use ArduPilot instead of iNav or Betaflight. The UI is horrible when compared to the others. I use all three but ArduPilot is the worst!
