INAV 3.0 & 4.0: Final tweaks and how to maiden the model (2/2)

[@Simpo20]

Been a viewer for a long time! Quit flying back in 2015 and returned to it last year (quads). Cant believe how far the hobby has come! Loving quads so much and fancied a wing - have ordered an AR Pro. Your guides have helped immensley since my return. Was a bit nervous about using INAV, but this series is by far the most concise and useful out there and now have 'confidence' to build and maiden. Cheers :-)

I am exactly in the same situation as you Adrian. I was flying with fixed-wing glow and electric for about 4 years and that is going back about 10 years ago. As you say the hobby has become more advanced in that period of time. Far more advanced since the first computer transmitters came out. This channel is, in my opinion, the best channel to learn from. It is a totally new learning curve.

[@Idefix70]

Thanks Lee! Again very informative. Now it is waiting for spring and summer to start here in NZ so I can get it out for first flight! Thanks

[@johanwessels4071]

BIG thank you for all you share so generously! Your videos are absolutely some of the best available and has helped me immensely. Much appreciated!!

[@CurryKitten]

That was super-helpful Lee. Just about to try a wing out and wasn't sure on all those auto tune/level modes worked. Have set everything up, ready for a maiden!

[@Painless360]

Best of luck with your maiden!

[@mikeflight9]

Top class teaching channel. Just getting back into the hobby and I am really amazed at all the new technology involved. A new learning experience for me now. Keep up the brilliant work mate. 👍

[@Painless360]

Thanks and welcome!

Fantastic Lee, you got a little monster with the Zhod.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic tips, Lee! Thanks a bunch! 😃 It's going to be REALLY useful! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@nolimits1155]

I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a doubt I don't see the RTH option in flight modes, but in your video it appeared, I have the same version 3.0.2

[@Painless360]

GPS flight modes only appear when the GPS is setup correctly. Best of luck

[@BBSlats]

Thanks for these videos. Just to confirm you only use auto level on set up and its on a switch. Or do you use it all the time when in horizon like your older video.

[@Painless360]

How it work changed. This is is how it works now in the latest versions.. Happy flying

[@DadsRCHangar]

I swear that’s designed from the Lippisch P.15. Great tip video 👍🏻

[@swissfreek]

The way the new autotune works is crazy. You're right, it's totally sluggish at first. Do a couple complete rolls and you can almost see it speeding up as you go. Same with loops.

[@zcontrol1]

great videos hello from switzerland! I just trouble with putting and connecting my matek411 in my dark Brize can you please show you soldered the connector sreight or 90 deg or cable directly soldered into the board

[@Painless360]

Check out my soldering video where I do just that - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fF6VY4iQZ993Z5I - I hope that helps.

[@tausifpv]

Great Videos! I'm wondering if one should do the autotune with cruise or max. throttle. With max. throttle the detected rates should be higher and the PIDs maybe lower. Perhaps cruise throttle is better because the navigation modes mostly use cruise throttle and therefore the PIDs and rates should be tuned for this. What do you think?

[@Painless360]

I tune at cruise or 50% throttle... Happy flying

[@imadabualia4843]

Thanks Lee. Do you have the horizon mode on when you auto launch? It showed Acro then jumped back to horizon. Did have horizon the whole time or you switched to it when you took over?

[@Painless360]

Three flight modes: Horizen, manual and Acro usually. Horizon bring the one selected for it to use when Autolaunch is cancelled..

[@WernerBeroux]

The WiKi also suggests to enable failsafe to RTH but isn't that only a good suggestion if and only if you have a GPS?

[@Painless360]

Yes. I've never installed INAV without a GPS here... Best of luck

[@roomdiTof]

Hi. Thanks for the video. I have one problem. Servo work perfect. But the engine cannot be activated. I use a speedybee f405 wing. Inav 6.1, radiomaster tx12 mk2 and use model delta . Motor calibrated and I see inav/receiver trottele get signal from my tx12. Maybe you can tell me something.

[@traxxi2003]

Hello Lee! In the video, you mentioned something about reducing the Rates to what the model setup guide calls for. But right after reducing the rates, you put them back to 100%. Do I need to leave the rates @ 100% before my maiden/autotune/auto level flight?

[@Painless360]

Set the rates to give the the travel needed when in manual mode. My linkages were setup so 100% worked for me on this model.. Happy flying

[@sparkey044]

Following your video and setting up a wing as per your video. Using a F411 controller. Problem I’m having is cannot get the arm switch to activate. Motor runs in output tab, but cannot get the arm to work. I have not activated or installed the gps as yet.

Thanks for your videos ,its a huge help for the new beginner ,may i ask you ,i haven's see autolevel autotrim in my inav 4.1.0 modes,could you please show me something,thank you so much.

[@Painless360]

They don't appear unless you have selected a fixed wing model... Happy flying

[@haoxie4402]

@@Painless360 ahh ,i see ,Thank you so much.

[@kirkjensen1718]

when you have the board backwards, i.e. 180 in yaw.... to adjust for nose up flight is board alignment for pitch now (with 3.0) always positive? in 2.6 it was negative for a backwards board.

[@Painless360]

No idea. I mount the FC in the right orientation and strongly recommend you do too. Best of luck!

[@willay747]

i love the autotrim, worked great on my same plane as yours. I do not get as much speed though. What battery are you using? And yes, the roll rate is crazy! Love it.

[@Painless360]

I'm using a 4s 2200mah pack.. Happy flying

[@willay747]

@@Painless360 omg stupid me, being a small plane i thought it was 3S max. Thanks for the help!! Love your channel!!

@@Painless360 followup- i put in a 4S now and she is a screamer! Super fast and fun to fly. Thanks again!!

[@Stephanbrown1987]

I noticed in a previous video, you have auto level activated with horizon mode together on the same channel, yet in this video, you have it on separate channels, then you turn auto level off. I'm confused as to whether should you have them together or separate?

[@Painless360]

I've used both but was advised that it's better to use it on a seperate switch and only use it whenever you trim the model. Best of luck

[@AndrzejRoszkowski]

is it possible to set "autolaunch" to spin motor after throw?

[@Painless360]

Yes, see my video on how to set up it up. Best of luck

[@jamiebrunton6696]

What are the bars at the top of your OSD?

[@EliteFpv]

On maiden do you start CG dead on or a little nose heavy?

[@Painless360]

Both are good options. I try to get it spot on if I trust the vendor... Happy flying
