First Look: TBS Caipirinha II FPV Wing

[@freshfpv107]

I do realize this is an older video, but I just wanted to let you know I just got this wing for Christmas and your video has been extremely helpful in assisting me on the build. Thank you and please don't stop making videos. I have used your channel on other builds as well.

[@DaynHolz]

I´ve build the wipeout from scratch, this build looks like a piece of cake and a very reasoned version 2. Thx for the video(s).

[@DimitrisKoutoulas]

The epoxy doesn't soak in the foam, so it usually just ends up being a thin film of glue between the parts. The epoxy is brittle, so doesn't handle loads well without cracking. Contact type cements (UHU Por, Welder for EPP, or Foam Cure, etc), work much better. They provide a flexible, strong bond. Even though they stick up pretty quickly, definitely plan to give them overnight to bond up well.

[@lucianovan]

Gorila glue it works?

[@alexislechevalier1022]

The good ol' Blenderm... Initially intended for bandages, it works really great for hinges. I'm using it since 1993. ^^

[@timwsac]

Thats a relay good looking wing I am looking forwards to the I Nav install great video thanks Lee

[@cartolla]

As a Brazilian, this wing makes me thirsty :D Great video as always!

[@dagobb]

hahaha lol! Uma caipirinha não faz mal pra ninguém!

[@HDgodfrey]

very cool, Im going to have to get a wing to start flying something other than quads and hexes. Or should I say to start crashing something else. Probably more likely. Thanks for all the great content!

[@WX4CB]

i would start something like a rightwing mini-z, the caipirinha is a heavy sob and is not really suited to solo launches.

[@HDgodfrey]

Thanks allot, I fortunately have a little brother (who's not so little) that I can always make help me. Would you still go that way if you had launch help?

[@WX4CB]

if you are new to wings, yes, the mini-z is a small light race wing, the caipi 2 is definitely not for beginners. i would also suggest something like the S800 or AR wing or zohd dart for beginners as they can stand up to a ton of abuse.

[@HDgodfrey]

Thanks, that's good looking out. I like the looks of both of those models. I really love the RC/FPV community!

[@attackfpv]

Here 2023. Why use blenderm? Its stretchy sort of. No issues with is? Jc thank you for all you do

[@Painless360]

Because it works great. Still using it... Happy flying

[@WX4CB]

really great wing, I love mine, be careful of the gopro mount in crashes. brain3d is working on a replacement TPU mount, i have a prototype and it works ok, as far as the power, i have 2 xt 60s on the pdb, i have 2 in and 1 out so i can run dual batteries if i want. as far as clue i used welders/e6000 glue - as far as pronunciation, i pronounce it cappy-reena or kai-pa-rinia - who knows whether that's right or not lol

[@Painless360]

Thanks for the heads up. If I need to I'll design an upgrade and pop it on Thingiverse. I'll try not to crash it! (Like that'll happen! :D )

[@joolski]

I've been flying an inav built out version of the capi 2 for a while now, and yes there's quite a bit of cabling required but not so much distance that a twisted pair was required. A clean power supply will hold you in good stead.. I've used a matek F405 board and a 6S capable PDB. If they had been available when I first built it I'd have used the PDB FCHUB-W, which is purpose built for wings, and the F405 just plugs into to using a ribbon cable. My next capi2 will use one of these. I launch mine from the vertical over my head, and you'll need to nav_fw_launch_max_angle = 90, nav_fw_launch_accel=100 (1G), nav_fw_launch_motor_delay=250. Looking forward to seeing your inav video.

[@Painless360]

Thanks for the Post, I've been talking to it iNav development team and one of the videos I plan to do with the new TBS wing is on installation best practice. And funnilly enough, use of a power distribution board to reduce the strain on the flight controller is one of the things that's on the list. Thanks again, happy flying!

[@joolski]

The digital servos which come with the PNP build draw quite a bit of current when under load (in flight conditions) and will brown out most FC's, which as you know never ends well :-( Loving the iNav series of videos, and happy flying to you too !

[@Painless360]

Hey Jools, could you share some images of your build with me? I'd be interested to see how you fitted everything..

[@joolski]

facebook.com/groups/BlackSheepLOUNGE/permalink/375295292956247/ Her's the feedback I gave TBS after completing 100 flights with the Capi 2. Cheers,

[@MCsCreations]

Really nice, man! Really beautiful wing! 😀 But if you put a FC with iNav, with stabilization and so on, it won't be "Caipirinha" anymore. You have to pilot it like a drunk person to be. LOL 😂

[@FlyNasty]

Your videos are always inspirational!

[@matthieukhubbens2489]

Hi ! When you put the second part of tape on the elevon, what is the position on the elevon ? Full down? Thanks !

[@Painless360]

Full deflection in the opposite way - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3bIhZpoi61roq8

[@Michaelfromfremont]

I don't know how I've ever got along without one of these!!! Did you say that there were options for some sort of hinge for the ailerons? I'm hoping to keep this as robust as possible, so could you please explain a bit more and maybe a recommendation ? Also, I'm wanting to believe that we're able to paint the wood in the build, just to customize it a bit? Maybe even be able to paint the canopy part too, which is black and show nothing but finger prints? All in all, this looks like a great build and I appreciate your detailed explanations in all things! Very nice video. Hoping to hear what you may have to say about my questions :) Best! M

[@Painless360]

The tape option is the one recommended by TBS and I've used it on lots of planes and it works great. You can paint the wood but you'll need to seal it first. The canopy is plastic and needs to flex in able to close so any paint would flake off. Happy flying!

[@Michaelfromfremont]

Thanks so much for all your help!!! And that is most definitely why I've SUBBED!!! Thanks again and all the best too you!!

[@tonyangus6854]

Building a Caipirinha 2 any suggestions on the right Matec flight controller to fit, so many to choose from.

[@Painless360]

Check out my Kit Picks 2020 video or one of the recent wing builds. Using the Matek F405-wing or F765-Wing mainly...

[@davidscottblacksmith]

I am looking to progress from my Parrot Disco. Does anyone know whether I could retro fit the Parrot C.H.U.C.K and flight controller system into the Caipirinha airframe with success? Or whether there is a suitable airframe out there in which I could? Thank you.

[@atmm89]

I have already asked but can you build this plane ready to fly complete with iNav and all associated extras tested so all I have to do is charge the batteries and fly. Thank you

[@Painless360]

Sorry, I don’t do that..

[@pumpkinhead959]

Would you do a maiden flight tips video like launching and so on?

[@Painless360]

Will do!

[@WX4CB]

it's aheavy sob and not really suited to solo launches unless you are very used to heavy large wing launching :D i still havent got the hang of it lol

[@Ammothief41]

Awesome, thanks! Curious how to best get a heavy wing like that off the ground. Have you thought about the inav auto launch? Thinking of throwing it over head and relying on stabilization to keep it going while I turn around and get on the sticks.

[@WX4CB]

Jason Reel thats one way to do it, but if u launch it right, u should be fine. I just dont have a lot pf strength in my right arm

[@austntexan]

That motor is a monster for a wing this size. It's really difficult to build and hit CG when it's hauling +100g behind the CG. I've been trying to figure out a lighter setup for it using ~65-80g motor and maybe 3S instead of 4S. Maybe 2216/1100KV with a 9x5 folder. It'd work if you kept the build light I think.

[@littletortiaboy2010]

Is that 3M blenderm tape double sided? I can’t see how you fit the tape under the elevon and then for it to stick to the wing?!

[@Painless360]

It’s two separate strips. One on top of the hinge. Another on the other side..

[@nathanatwell]

Any idea when the next part (iNav/F-35 install) might be uploaded?

[@Painless360]

You’ve not checked the playlist have you? ;)

[@rocketbunnyboy0323]

Would you recommend this for beginner wing pilots? I have been looking at getting my first wing, is this too advanced for someone new to wings?

[@Painless360]

As crashing is a big part of learning I wouldn't recommend this as your first wing. See my introduction to fixed wing and flying wings for quad pilots playlists for more information - Simple intro to fixed wing flying: kzbin.info/aero/PLYsWjANuAm4roNirna4D0BBnT2szXvvvG Best of luck!

[@aurelienwittmann4105]

Ik this is a little late but the flite test spear is very similar to this and much cheaper. I have flown both and they have similar characteristics, although the caipirinha is heavier.

[@austntexan]

Why is this wing so much harder to launch than say, the AR Wing Pro? The CII seems to want to nose in almost immediately when launching, whereas the AR Wing Pro(and a lot of other wings) just fly out very easily with a side arm toss.

[@Painless360]

You'll need a chunk of reflex. Best of luck

[@lucianovan]

Hi! What types of glue do you use?

[@Matt-re8bt]

I love TBS. But you have to question the decision of choosing a name no-one can pronounce :)

[@Painless360]

:D

[@dvdrwsor]

I love the TBS quality too. I can't wait for them to release a seaplane They can call it however they sea fit ;)

[@alexanderfedorov7890]

C2 ;)

[@weirdscience8341]

Just call it the cat piranha these wings are serious I like TBS stuff I'm really tempted to get the oblivion but can't decide.. seriously tho if I get this I'm going to try coaxial propellers

[@Thidsa]

Whatever happened to this plane? Never saw any flying with it

[@Painless360]

I still have it. I don't fly it often due to the cost... Happy flying

[@mikedrones537]

90 minute flight times.......! Nice !!!

[@steveallam]

Too bad you couldn't do the TBS build with everything from TBS from diversity Rx, colibri race FC, vision stack and wing layer???

[@Painless360]

Sadly not, I've spoken to Trappy about what the options are for this build . I was hoping that this wing would be sold with an integrated flight controller or a TBS powered iNav setup but it looks like TBS aren't there yet..

[@slavikarg]

Waiting for the second part

[@Painless360]

In the playlists if you want a preview ;)

[@goku445]

Did you actually fly the thing? :D

[@Painless360]

Yep :)

[@goku445]

@@Painless360 You didn't post the footage? I can't find it :o

[@taggerung890]

This or the zohd xl extreme?

[@Painless360]

These are two very different AirFrames. It really comes down to what you want to do with them. I'm a fan of both..

[@williamdecker3989]

Great wing, but so expensive!

[@fernandoschnaidt210]

Hi, someone test the 90 min fly time?

[@nikimarkieren7848]

I was thinking about your wanting to have a current sensor maybe this little gem from Fullspeed might be a good 3 quid solution:>>>>>www.gearbest.com/multi-rotor-parts/pp_1719820.html if they would only make a XT60 version but I guess a XT30 to 60 could be made or maybe resolder to a 60

[@maccguyca]

Elivons?

[@Painless360]

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevon Yep

[@kenbad]

So they designed this for a GoPro session, that has been discontinued hmmmm

[@Painless360]

Yep, GoPro are douchbags..

[@kenbad]

I guess as long as refurbs are available lol, that's how I got my last two

[@Painless360]

It seemed petty of GoPro to sue (allegedly) RunCam that made a camera with almost identical physical dimensions then discontinue the very camera that was part of the suit. What was the point of that (apart from them being a$$holes?) ;)

[@kenbad]

they are dumbasses: watch:kzbin.info/www/bejne/omXJeZifptl6haM

[@nige5572]

6:16 - 6:18

[@Painless360]

pardon?

[@nige5572]

​@@Painless360 Ahh don't worry just some fun :) Cool review and thanks for all your work on Taranis radios. Just ran into a problem the other day very randomly. When I hit the SD switch (which arms for me) my aileron trim gos to full left deflection. Have you heard of Open TX errors like this?

[@Painless360]

Nope, I'd check the mixer and special function settings on the model memory you have on the radio..

[@craigbalzkays2793]

I think this means hillbilly in English

[@miguelangelor]

The word refers to the famous brazilian drink The word "caipira" means redneck or hillbilly, the suffix "inha" or "inho" means little(small size), it has the same effect that the letter Y in kitty and puppy.

[@MCsCreations]

Miguel Angelo Rego Exactly. 😊 And it's cachaça (pinga... I don't know the name in English), lemon and sugar. 😊

[@MCsCreations]

(BTW, I'm from Brazil.)

[@craigbalzkays2793]

I thought I seen it on a quiz I do I'm from australia and only speak English. is it Portuguese?

[@miguelangelor]

Cachaça é cachaça mesmo rs

[@DonMuffatello]

you better laminate it
