Hi there Lee, it's been fun to see you got the same thoughts on the wing as I had :) And I love to see, that the wing gets you excited too. I ended up making mine a power cruiser capable of 60min and still being the lovely agile speeder. Be aware of the wings can start to flutter on a bad moment - which is the reason I stuffed some extra carbon into the wings. Your motor seams to be a brutal beast on that setup- Currently having the t-Motor F40-PRO II with 2150kv installed with 5" and it's nice. Build two will have take the TOKA motors to the test. Good luck with your wing and cheers from here

[@mikelinton8011]

The kink in the control push rods is for tweaking the length by bending more or less with pliers since there is no adjustable clevis.

[@jamesemery1]

nice wing, I'm still learning to fly/crash a traditional plane at speed so I'd probably trash that wing in minutes lol. However I have scratch built a KF2 aerofoil wing from foam board and I'm thinking of doing the stupid idea of no flight control and learning to fly it with just a receiver servos and motor etc. After a hundred or so crashes/battery packs/rebuilds I might be proficient enough to buy a ready made wing. Stay safe Lee.

[@FPVBUTTER]

Helped a lot 🎉 still in this year would love some new pid tuning on this ripper

[@jordan59961]

Thanks for making this vid, I just bought this plane and this info is super helpful. Good to know what throws I should start off with.

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome review, Lee! 😃 Pretty interesting little wing indeed! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@stephenkolenic303]

I make my wire links with a z bend kink, to make small adjustments by opening or closing the z-bend, to save weight.

[@rob_l]

Do you have any video how you go about setting up and measuring the throws and the diff on setting evelator and alaron throws ?????

[@Painless360]

I have a lot of videos on simple and complex plane setup. With OpenTX, INAV, Vector, Kopilot and Arduplane...which one do you need?

[@noramas.]

Going to build that wing. I don't see receiver antenna. Where it's located?

[@Painless360]

I'm using the DJI FPV controller so it uses the same antenna on the Air Unit

[@michaelmccarroll4202]

Lee, any chance of you covering ducted fan sizing vs model size/weight similar to the prop/motor videos you did. Please

[@TheMultiProp]

Hi Lee! Thanks, another very good video! I am just a little bit confused about the throws, is it 8 mm total for the ailerons or is it 8 mm each way? The same question for the 12 mm elevator throw? All the best, cheers!

[@Painless360]

8mm either way, 16mm total etc.

[@grim-upnorth]

Hi Lee, how did you set up your F411-WSE to have the DJI OSD working? I have the same flight controller board, and it only has 2 UARTS which are occupied by the GPS and the Crossfire receiver. Which means I can't have the OSD from the board on my DJI system. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

[@Painless360]

I did a video on that. If you Google 'dji osd f411 painless360' you'll see it pop up. I hope it helps.

[@MaxMustermann-vw8bl]

I just got a hee wing f-01 which is basically the same airframe. Do you know how much reflex I need on the elevons? I couldn't find any Information from diatone or hee wing. Happy flying!

[@Painless360]

Didn't I cover that in the video?

[@MaxMustermann-vw8bl]

@@Painless360 No you didn't. You did mention the throws and they worked great for me. I flew it today and found I didn't need any reflex. With reflex it would start to pull up as soon as it hit around 80 km/h.

[@Painless360]

Thanks for posting. That must have been the omission. Glad you got it flying. Lots of models seem to have reflex built in... Happy flying!

[@traxxi2003]

Hi there from CA! how are you attaching the heatsink to the air unit?

[@Painless360]

It has it's own sticky pad and I add a cable-tie too..

[@robertday2391]

Enjoying the series on the ‘ripper’, really piqued my interest. Looking at getting one, ideally cheap and efficient build/flight, I’ve got a ex Nano Talon 2204-1870kv (with 2200mah and 6x4), would that motor be powerful enough? Find selecting motors a difficult issue! Thanks.

[@Painless360]

Check out my series on selecting motors and props. That setup doesn't look bad for a starter for 4s.. Best of luck!

[@stoobiedoo2]

I'm just about to maiden my Ripper and I based it on your build with the same FC, DJI etc. Would you recommend I set my PIDs to what you have before maiden and then autotune afterwards?

[@Painless360]

I'd leave them at the defaults for the version of INAV you are using and use an Autotune.. Best of luck!

[@alexiscoutier7682]

Hello Lee, I am Alexis from France. Thank you so much for all your video on this wing that would help me to build mine. I want also to fly with my DJI Goggles. I have seen that other people also use this FC MATEKF405SE but I guess that your choice is because of size ? In the framekit from your Banggood link, it looks like biblades are note included but what about all accesories for the DJI Air unit ? Last and so stupid question but I am a beginner with FPV wing, I will go with a TBS nano receiver. I have understood that this one should be soldered to FC but whrere do you plug servo ? On the FC ? Thank you so much. Best regards

[@Painless360]

If you are new then check out one of my build series. A modern build will almost always need a little cabling and soldering but using a Matek FC will help you get it working first time in my experience. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXnQaqB7lK53m7M for how to wire things up. I am a fan of the 411WSE as it is super small and perfect for compact spaces like this. Best of luck with the build!

[@alexiscoutier7682]

@@Painless360 thanks so much. I am going to order and jump into this New world. Best regards

[@frankyflowers]

are you allowed to have mortar shell fireworks in your country?

[@stevietee10]

Hi Lee, at 10:37, the kink is meant as a means of adjustment with two pliers, pretty crap really, like you I prefer threaded adjustment links :-)

[@dronepilot260rc]

[@lewismcgarry1349]

Would it run on 2200 3s? For slower and longer flight time

[@Painless360]

Yes, you'd use the 6" prop in the kit.
