FX-61 Remaiden with Speedybee F405 Wing Flight Controller

[@AerialWaviator]

Nice check flight. The area you fly looks amazing. Look forward to seeing a future waypoint mission. Hopefully the weather stays nice so you can enjoy more flying.

[@stonesrcchannel]

Thanks it is a nice area to fly very peaceful just no recovering a craft which crashes in a sugarcane field. Fingers crossed but weather should be good over the next few months.

[@AerialWaviator]

Wow! Had not realized that was sugarcane.

Fantastic location, great video. Thanks

[@stonesrcchannel]

Thanks i enjoy the piece and quiet when flying there. Thanks for the comment and i'm glad that you enjoyed it. 👍😃

You can turn your telemetry loss recovered alarms off in your TX.

So little people posting about happy flying with this product

[@stonesrcchannel]

I agree, it may be classed an old bird now but you can still buy them and they fly beautifully!

Hi, friend! I can tell you how to solve the problem with turning off in-flight telemetry. I have the same flight controller Speedybee F405 Wing. It has a top board with a WiFi module and a Bluetooth module. These modules interfere with the radio on the aircraft during flight. If the top board is removed, then there will be no telemetry shutdown in flight. I did this and everything was fine!

[@stonesrcchannel]

Interesting I’ll try it and see if it helps. I ended up just turning off the alerts on the transmitter.

[@pvsv7667]

@@stonesrcchannel Turning off the missing telemetry notification is pretending everything is fine when you have a real problem. I would not do that)))

[@GhostRyderFPV]

Hiya all, about the WiFi and BT, you can disable both with the boot button (6 second press, until the LED closest to the analog camera port is off). I tested to see if these impacted my ELRS and FrSky x16 Rx's or analog video, and saw no impacts on range or noise. I tested on HappyModel ELRS Rx's, FrSky X8R, L9R, and XM+ RX's. Through my testing I did learn that my HD cameras were the biggest losers - the Caddx Peanut must have one helluva WiFi chip in it!!! I wonder if Stones had any caps installed on it, I know he mentions there's no filter? I always pop on a 330uf minimum, where the ESC leads meet the PDB, a 1000uf on twin motors and quads. While I didn't have the disappearing OSD issue with this FC, I did with a little Matek F411 WTE, solved with a 330uf cap.

[@stonesrcchannel]

@@GhostRyderFPV thanks for the very helpful insight, I currently don’t have any caps on the esc in this video but I do plan to put one one as I never had a spare during the install. I agree the cap on esc should solve some of the video issues as my other planes all have caps and much better video. So from your testing I may have to try a flight without the hd camera to see if there are any differences in fpv quality.

I can’t seem to get more then 1 servo to work if I have 4 plugged in I get nothing. I have clicked on enable servos and I also noticed a option for servos or motor or default. I have chosen servos, then the 1 servo doesn’t work put it back and the 1;servo works. Help please

[@stonesrcchannel]

It should be set automatically after you install the firmware you would have had to choose a platform your craft relates to (Delta Wing, V-Tail etc). As long as you chose the correct one for you craft there should be nothing you need to touch. Make sure your servos are set up on their correct ports on the flight controller. Inav suggests which ones they are in the outputs tab. Other than that it could have something to do with your mixer setup on your transmitter. Other than that i would suggest to ask about on the INAV fixed wing group facebook page they have helped me a lot with issues during setup.

@@stonesrcchannel thanks

[@Terrar1988]

Cool build! 5.8Ghz video link I suppose? Have you ever tried 1.2Ghz?

[@stonesrcchannel]

Thank for the comment, this one uses a Partom 1.2ghz video link.

[@markosdiytv9]

Nice setup, because of your build video i ordered this speedybee f405 wing to put it in my ranger 2000, as a matter of fact i think i am in trouble on the process of installing my board. It beeps continuously, do you have any idea on this matter?

[@stonesrcchannel]

I have no idea why it would be beeping continuously like you say. I assume u have installed either INav on it or ardupilot already and done all the required wiring for install?

[@markosdiytv9]

@@stonesrcchannel I used the speedy bee app inav configuration

[@stonesrcchannel]

@@markosdiytv9 it could be possible it never installed the firmware correctly. I would try reinstall it. I haven't had great success uploading firmware through the app I always use a PC. I would suggest not to use a wireless connection to install firmware it just my preference.

[@peterhancox5268]

Are you Flying with a FrSky RX? if you are try UniRX by Aloft Hobbies, much better Telemetry link. My Speedybee F405 is going into a motor glider. EDITED

[@stonesrcchannel]

Motor glider sound good too. That's something I wouldn't mind getting into someday too. The rx in this is a happy model es900. I also turned the telemetry warning off on the transmitter after the flight.

[@joelporter007]

I want to put this in my TBS Caipirinha 2 do you think it will work fine

[@stonesrcchannel]

I don’t see why not I am very happy with mine great value

[@endliberalism4305]

Did you have auto launch ? Is there auto launch on this FC ?

[@stonesrcchannel]

That was auto launch through INAV. Auto launch was active until the plane banked.

[@endliberalism4305]

@stonesrcchannel thanks again, I'm just getting everything in order now. The only thing left us which GPS module? I prefer one without compass, which one do you use ?

[@stonesrcchannel]

@@endliberalism4305 I have a bn220 but any GPS will do just disable compass.
