Can i fly a 3d printed VTOL? Titan Dynamics Hornet tiltrotor tricopter VTOL using INAV not Ardupilot

You and people like you who go out and push the boundries of aeromodeling are legends.

[@locarshobbies]

Why thank you! i appreciate this sentiment! i love technology, and love trying new things out! Kudos more to the designers making this possible :)

[@christopherhughes6519]

Heck of a project, good luck working through it. I started printing my first plane last night with Overture Air without any luck. I was told you could print it like regular PLA and obviously I was doing something wrong. Fooled around with temps and print speed and it was better but not looking anything like your prints. Can you share your configuration changes to get those results.Thanks and good luck getting that beauty flying 100% like it looks in your mind's eye.

Hey mate, my bad, ive been off the YT recently, so much going on! i realised your comment came 2 weeks ago and i haven't responded, MY APOLOGIES!!! So, in all honesty, i am NOT really a huge fan of pre-foamed LW-pla, i get the idea for sure, but yeah, i think for the additional stringing that it does, it doesn't give that much weight benefit (i beleive in my prints they are only about 80% the weight of normal PLA+ If im really going to give it a red hot go, i will use foaming LW PLA, at least with the increased difficulty of printing it, the weight differences are huge!!! BUt hey, let me know ify ou got any more questions im more than happy to help :)

I was thinking about building the hornet, but 40 bucks is a heavy price. would you say it was worth it and there is no big design flaws?

[@locarshobbies]

It prints very well, the use of heat set inserts are quite nice, $40 is a bit of money sure, but TD is one of those design houses that actually do a lot of testing prior to selling and the end product in my opinion is solid! :) good luck with your build if you decide to go for it. the use of pre-foamed pla as per their advise i think is the only thing letting them down, i think this has something to do with not having to design for least retractions, and just rely on generated infill

H nice to see te maiden. I made the Hornet too and it is ready for maiden but can't solve the issue of arming.Flightcontroller Matek V-tol. So i like to now how you made de Nav setup. Thx.

Hey mate check out this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3anm3uaj7-AmqMsi=Nj_TP3H0-ot__eps A great intro to inav vtol setup

[@vavanetsp]

Beautiful....it flies so smoothly. I built the Hornet too, but I'm a little bit insecure about the inav config. Could you share your config just to check if I missed something? Many thanks.😊

[@locarshobbies]

Will do sorry I just got back on the yt land haha

Hello my friend, do you remember that you wanted to post the diff all file

[@locarshobbies]

I did and I forgoty apologies I'll see if I can get it today

[@ЗахарЗахар-г9ж]

Can you share the INAV settings? I want to build one too

[@locarshobbies]

Hey mate, i followed theFrisco's VTOL guide in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3anm3uaj7-AmqM give his video a look and follow what he says :)

[@patrickhellmuth5982]

Hello my friend, can you post your diff all for inav?

[@locarshobbies]

I will do it tomorrow I'll do a diff all 👍

@@locarshobbies thank you my friend.👌

[@patrickhellmuth5982]

Hello my friend, which time you post the diff all?

[@kimsauermilch3655]

Hello, have you found a solution to the lack of performance on your Titan? I have printed the same model with 1300kv motor 4S and 7 x 5.5 propellers and it can barely keep flying, I have tried with 6S without improvement, kind regards kim

[@locarshobbies]

Hi! So, 1300kv running 7040 3blade on 4s will be a bit lackluster, I have experienced improvement with the use of 6s with the same prop setup in 4s I'm constantly on the top third of the throttle to keep her flying running but on 6s I'm around 50-60%

[@stevenfollows1205]

Hi, does the motor at the back stop when you transition to forward flight ?

[@locarshobbies]

Yeah mate she definitely stops in fwd flight mode

[@patrickhellmuth5982]

Hello my friend do you think on the diff all file, please.

[@locarshobbies]

Hi this is so bad by me as I have been so busy however can I refer you to this link he has a diff that I followed and a step by step instruction I will update the video with this link so that propel can see what or how to setup 😊 apologies for not getting teh diff kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3anm3uaj7-AmqMsi=zOgKca04lf_PvRW_

Hello. Can you share config file? Thanks.

Will do shortly!
