🛩️ Heewing T2 VTOL -Test Flight

Recently I upgraded my Heewing T2 rc plane to VTOL. In this video you get to watch me take it for a test flight. It worked well....for the most part :p
Wanna throw me a few dolla to help me keep making videos? www.buymeacoff...

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing flying, dude! Pretty impressive airplane! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Viper_DL_FPV]

Hii mate, could you do a video of how you setup inav with vtol conversion? Or you got some screenshots you want to share? Would be very greatfull. Keep the good videos coming 💪🏼

[@TMacDo243]

Agreed, I really want to transition mine to INAV and the information on how to do that is SERIOUSLY lacking. :(

[@wtfmimshag]

Man she hoovers some power in quadplane mode!

[@peterross9541]

YES..as you said : better landing manually.. better don't turn into the wind first in Q_RTL fl..and no long "final land descent" when do the last step manually.. Again ! wonderful Video ! best regards from Germany

[@SJV82]

Transitioning to a hover with a tailwind is a huge nono.... That's why it was flipping around like that until it got pointed into the wind then it stabilized that's completely normal.

[@craigcupit1917]

add more motor down angle to stop the pitch up at full throttle

[@RubyS.1]

I feel the same way about the vtol. I had fun getting it working but after that it's just kind of a gimmick for me cuz where I live there are plenty of places to fly

[@swissfreek]

I could see it being useful if you want to fly from a small clearing, for landing specifically. You can take off with these sorts of planes almost anywhere, but being able to come straight down instead of having to spike it into a hole in the trees would be convenient.

[@erlandfpv]

At my place, vtol it's a very good idea, very a little space to take off, but , i don't have a experience for vtol, just a pain to think,

[@BabaYagaFPV]

Makes sense if you’re trying to fly from your backyard because it’s Tuesday and you can’t get to the field because of life but other than that it’s just a huge battery suck.

[@gizfpv]

Yup that's literally the same for me. I have plenty of space to fly normal fixed with so I really have no use for VTOL. Vertical take off is a fun gimmick but actually I'd rather save the battery life and launch normally lol

[@Finnv893]

Where I live it's just mountains with rocky cliffs and pine/fir trees as tall as apartment buildings.

[@EnglishTurbines]

Transition into hover with tail into wind?....Sounds bonkers to me....ASI might help here...? 🤔🤔😳🇬🇧

[@SJV82]

I was just going to say the same thing it's doing flopping around because its got a tail wind you notice the second it pointed into the wind it stabilized.

[@theroc495]

Damn, that's freakin awesome, now I have to buy this one too...this makes 3 planes I purchased from your videos...and haven't flown one yet..😂 Awesome flying sir

[@loeschc49707]

In VTOL mode do the two motors go straight up or is there a bit of forward angle?

[@bjrc]

Climbing on throttle may mean your tilt servos aren’t totally flat in fixed wing mode. Had that issue on my T1 vtol.

[@TA-td9gd]

Very nice video. Comparing your VTOL video to yours and other non VTOL videos makes me think that the current is way much more ("almost" double ? ) cruising around .. What is your expirience ?

[@bomberaustychunksbruv4119]

If you alter Q_TRANS_FAIL to one more second than it takes to transition (time it on your video), you wont get the TRANS FAILED note from the FC.

[@GhostScaleRC]

Hey, do you mind sharing how you configured inav?

[@nevTk-oe9ud]

wot osd is that mate and which fc are you using please cheers chap cheers '

[@NOXFPV]

First! Thanks for the video.

[@swissfreek]

The camera mount on the T2 doesn’t point down like it does on the T1? That’s kind of nice. My T1 is always climbing to the moon because I instinctively level based on the video perspective. I really need to figure out how to do the adjustment in INAV to compensate for that.

[@MrBEEFCAKE26]

How the hell you got weather like that bristol been pants for weeks lol great upload pal

[@romainboidin1396]

If you cloud share your Ardupilot config that would be awesome !

[@wariormilan9152]

hi, you made a cool video) I also recently received this plane and of course with VTOL, but I encountered a problem when trying to take off, it shakes a lot and can’t get off the ground, could you tell me what pid values you have for VTOL mode?

[@pilotmiami1]

Bravo.perfect

[@aleksandrtaran6945]

Hi! Awesome review! What is a payload capacity of this plane? It would be great to test it

[@tubamanandy2]

Do you not fancy doing a Quicktune & QAutotune for the VTOL bit ? Mind you, stock seems not bad

[@BabaYagaFPV]

That same wonky hover happened to me in my T-1 last weekend, at the same point of transition back to tri copter mode to land. I wonder if it’s a ardu version issue?

[@pierluigizagaria]

I would like to fly a vtol, what would ypu suggest for a newbie in vtol? Coming from fpv background

[@jamesmalone4755]

What size motors and props are you using for 4s? What FC are you using, and is it on Ardupilot?

[@jamesturncliff5960]

I'm really hoping that they come up with a overpowered kit that I can put on my 2.4 M Ranger it's made to be aVTOL❤😊

[@germanweldpoint3005]

Max range?

[@kibbycabbit]

Whoa, what do I need to change in my settings? Is that with iNav? You just send it up in air and it automatically stays in same position. I imagine it requires compass for that trick. Or can that be done w/o compass? Love your vlog. I have T1 VTOL.

[@chuckwain5591]

You need a compass to do position hold in VTOL mode ( but not in fixed wing mode). He stated in the video that he was using Ardupilot. I have some experience with Ardupilot on a T1, it worked, but overly complex in my mind. INAV now supports VTOL so I converted to that.

[@kibbycabbit]

​@@chuckwain5591 Yes, you're correct. Compass is the requirement for that. I guess I'll have to move GPS+Compass away from the fuselage for reduced interference. Sometimes I do feel nervous creating a embossed area for GPS to insert into..

[@CRAIGBYRD1]

Please make a build step by step. I've got all thr t2 with vtol conversion but am clueless to make it work. Thanks

[@ricardothompson2]

Pleaseee

[@qwertyytrewq1]

Nice flight, Why was video hanging? You was not that far away. Around 600 meter away?

[@gizfpv]

I'm not sure, but my best guess is the issue with the DVR occassionally freezing is due to firmware. I say that because I only started having this issue after updated to the latest walksnail firmware, it never happened before that

[@qwertyytrewq1]

Was that the goggle recording or the camera dvr? Which camera and firmware version?

[@DucksaucePPG]

I'm about to start mine with the 743wing. Just haven't decided if I'm going to use Adrupilot or Inav. I know my way around Inav a lot better, but the Vtol portion is really new!!

[@Clickmaster5k]

How do you have the speed on the tape parts of the hud with out an airspeed sensor? I cant get that to show GPS speed in my hud.

[@gizfpv]

You know what, I have no idea 😂 I didn't program it like that, at least, not intentionally lol

[@scrapveiw]

Try 6s it will give it more authority in drone mode

[@kibbycabbit]

Even with T1, same issue but yeah.. aircraft is heavy and only has 3 motors. Have you tried 6S in VTOL?

[@swabby913]

It uses barometric pressure for altitude. Pressure changes on a hill top regularly from air currents. It went home best it could with it's perception of an oddly variable altitude. That's my theory! Who knows though.... Could be aliens.

[@tubamanandy2]

Not a GPS or Compass issue ?

[@swabby913]

@@tubamanandy2 These hobbyist grade gps units definitely aren't the most accurate. But I have a feeling the biggest issue with automatic landing feature is most likely related to altitude sensing. Baro pressure is pretty variable. I'm surprised it works at all honestly.

[@tubamanandy2]

​@@swabby913 I've 2x T1 VTOLS with different flight controllers and GPS units and neither show the characteristics yours does
