Please read before commenting: The launch - A lot of people have said that we launched the Purrz wrong, but we did the launch according to Flypurrz own instructions. The bungee - It's been pointed out that we didn't assemble it correctly, and it seems that you were right. My bad eeek. Cutting holes - Yes I should have used a Dremel, but I didn't have one to hand. I also didn't know in advance that the material would crack when cut with a knife. Hindsight is a great thing huh! Hardware used - I'm not rich, so often have to use whatever parts I have in my spares box. They sometimes might not be the best or more suitable parts, but I can't always afford to buy new. The manual - I built this aircraft in accordance with the 1st gen manual. Flypurrz have since revised the manual and changed some things (eg: max take off weight is now much lower). Experience - I've been flying fixed wing aircraft for many years, but I've never flown anything as fast as the Purrz before. This was my 1st time flying a properly fast (over 160kph) aircraft.

I thought the video you made was quite entertaining and educational. special appreciation for all the wiring diagrams you put up, so people don't have to watch and rewatch the video again and again and again to see where you did wire which piece :D And i felt bad for people obviously being judgy about the hardware. You are doing the best you can with the stuff you have/can afford. It's not like you are building 1-2 Planes a Year or there wouldnt be as many videos. So you cant be expected to buy new stuff for every plane. However I'd love a "this is my build, and here is what could be a cool setup" section. Then people can opt to either take whatever it is you did use in your build or go for an upgrade if they feel the need to do so.

The problem lies in the fact that those who have a lot of experience with similar models that are fast, sleek, composite aircraft, are all going to be better, larger, easier to land and more durable than this. Which really puts this one in a tough position if even the composite speed guys won't go for it. Also I think the whole FPV angle misses the mark as most of those flyers are los not fpv pilots..

I was thinking exact the same.... what happened to the cord. Actually one needs only a small piece black rubber and 50m - 100m of strong fishing-line does the rest. The comments on the thin skin does not make any sense. Planes are never engineered on crashing, but on flying (like in the hands of a seasoned pilot). Grumble... let me test this FPV-plane and the outcome will be completely different (with a smile on my face).

Tip for running the servo connectors. Use a magnet to drag along the outside of the wing, pulling the the connectors through the inside. Most connector pins are made of plated steel and would be attracted to the magnet. If this is not the case a wire could be inserted into the connectors to attract them to the magnet.

Good trick for the first time! After i got wires pulled through and want to replace servos i usually put a metal wire with hook on one end and hook it up to the servo connector and pull the metal wire through servo wire channel until it comes out on other side. Once i want to put a servo again i just hook up the servo lead to the hook and pull metal wire on other side

Change the motor for a DYS fire 6S running gear with a 5x5 and you may even hit 300kph. I used that setup in an S800 foamie for a clean 200kph and the Purrz has nice drag free lines. Also, to all who want very strong 3d prints, PET-G, very slow, 0.1mm layers and go 30degC hotter, 80degC bed. Your prints will be a bit heavier but almost clear and so strong that you can suspend a 100kg guy off a 5mm print. I used it like this for my kiteboard fins and footplates. P.S. bungee is perfect technique for hotliners but hook should be about 10% of total length forward of CoG.

I am an experienced fixed wing RC pilot and I had three crashes from three attempts trying to hand launch a very heavily loaded Vol asw28 in manual. I then gave up and switched to stabilised FBWA and had no more problems. Without the stabilisation my launch would never be straight and by the time I got my throwing hand on the aileron stick to correct, it was already in a bad attitude and not enough control surface authority to fix it before it hits the ground. I suggest taking off in a stabilised mode,

How about just flying bareback before adding all the flight controller and FPV etc... I mean as a general rule, not just for this plane. Regarding the large RTH radius, maybe it was limited by a maximum bank angle setting, and at 150km/h there's only so fast you can turn. My guess would be iNav uses a relatively simplistic algorithm which only adjusts the elevator to meet the desired altitude, and roll adjustment is expected to meet the desired radius. Would be interesting to see if Ardupilot does any better. I'm kinda amazed they made such a beautiful molded fiberglass airframe and then.... 3d printed the control horns. Could probably cut 60 of them from one A4 sized sheet of G10. Maybe they don't have a CNC machine? Seems like the nose could benefit greatly from having even a small amount of backing material (foam, balsa etc) behind the thin walls, but you'd be giving up a lot of useful space. Impressive speed anyway!!
@nige5572

I was also surprised by their construction choice. It's fairly normal on composite planes to add some carbon tow for stiffening at critical junctions or areas like wing spars, noses, tail surfaces, and wing joiners. I have several truly molded fiberglass ships and while they are heavy, they are next to bulletproof. I've managed to actually chop down small shrubs on landing approaches, and couldn't even find a mark.
@gizfpv
@gizfpv 4 жыл бұрын
I think you're right about the RTH radius. The fact that the purrz cruises over 100mph and there is a bank angle restriction would certainly explain the wide loiter. Like I said in the video though, it would be easy enough to fix. I also agree that just reinforcing the nose would go a long way towards making the airframe more resistant to impact damage. Even if they just thickened the amount of fibreglass by 1mm would probbaly help a lot. As for flying bareback before adding a FC, tbh I've never done that just because I typically find most aircraft work fine from the getgo with inav installed. On a new to market aircraft though where I don't have the experience of others to fall back on, you're probably right though. In hindsight some testing before installing hevaier hardware could have been a good move.

When you throw the aircraft up in the air at launch --- the rubber band is pulling it down to the ground. (there is a forward vector of force and a downward vector of force) You should be low to the ground when you release and allow the lift of the plane to do all the vertical work.

@gizfpv

No, no capacitor was used. If you look at the first flight, there was no power noise at all. The reason for power noise on the 2nd flight was due to the VTX being relocated to a position directly beside the battery/xt60 lead. It was therefore probably EMF noise that caused the issue. A capacitor may have helped with this, but as you saw, I never got another chance to fly the aircraft again to try solve the issue

You've got to wonder at a launching system that pulls the plane into the ground by design, and relies on the ailerons to save it. Why not have the anchor point of the bungee like 30cm above ground, and then you'd launch the thing from ground level? This way it'd go upwards instead.

Awesome, but... I think this might should be the race version, perhaps with a high $ carbon option. I think foam sandwich with glass (or maybe kevlar) and epoxy would be a lot tougher than the single wall glass and (probably just polyester) resin. In short, good aerodynamics, excellent though perhaps over-enthusiastic weight minimization. Going double wall with tougher fibers and better resin would be heavier, but it would make the result a lot more durable. Last, those servo linkages (and perhaps the servos themselves) should be installed at the factory. Those linkages might be the most easily damaged part on some fixed wings, but that just looked crazy, and perhaps putting them in at the factory could offset some of the weight of a tougher fuselage. Last a really crazy idea, make the fuselage out of mylar wrapped foam with a carbon spar that everything mounts to. The foam fuselage would be essentially expendable.

That bungee launch was pilot error. Never throw a plane up! Either in a hand launch or a bungee launch. When you do that it creates higher pressure above the wing and it makes it fly down. And the result is what you see here 8:40 When launching always throw straight forward to gain speed so the aircraft can create its own lift. Also throwing down is a bad idea because it can create too much lift and crash too.

FRP is NOT simply fiberglass with a plastic coating. FRP is what you get with any plastic resin infused fiberglass material also known as a composite. It being coated in plastic on the outer structure has nothing to do with it being FRP. This is how most composites are constructed BTW. Carbon fiber panels are CRP. The main rigid component of the structure is indeed the plastic resin (epoxy in most modern cases). The fiberglass or carbon is there to do exactly what the term suggests, reenforce the resin structure.

It's a design compromise; lower stall speed means lower top speeds. And EPP might not have the required rigidity, i.e. is too plastic and therefore flexible. It's another design compromise, which you have to live with if you want this sort of performance I'm afraid.

@@loc4725 I get it but a plane should be able to land safely. Otherwise you better simply build a rocket. Epp can be reinforced with carbon fiber but the pod is not a breaking point, it needs to keep the wings tho.

@@goku445 I'm familiar with fast, high stall speed models and coming in hot is something you both expect and plan for so I don't think it's unreasonable for this model to be the same way. I with you though agree that fibreglass is probably not the best material to use, especially as most high end hotliners these days are made with carbon fiber, often for every part of the body. And having a boom on a model which is going top come in and stop fast isn't a great idea either.

Foam has clearly spoiled us as builders and pilots. There was a time, long before FPV, when composite hotliners and performance slopers ruled the skies... and littered the grass with fiberglass shards!

Really impressive speed meant for a very experienced pilot. A full CF frame is dangerous for FPV as it cast RF shadows for pilot's video antenna. This model seems like a pilon racer with pusher setup. I didn't get the purpose of the big back lower fin though ( it will wear off of get damaged after many landings).

The first successful flight I showed in the video was a hand launch, in horizon mode. As you saw though the aircraft wildly torque rolls on launch. The aircraft needs to be moving quite fast for the elevons to have enough authority to counteract the torque roll, which is why you have to use the bungee

A bungee is foolproof if the plane is setup well. And certainly safer than hand launching an aircraft that requires high airspeed.

I would say you missed the cons of hard to launch and hard to land. I also think that Excellent Performance is pretty much a bit redundant next to Easy to Fly and Vary Fast... considering I did not see you actually attempt any fancy maneuvers. I would say that is a 5 vs 2.... and that does not even take into account it is based in Germany and dependent on your location this means longer shipping times, more expensive shipping and likely no replacement parts (like the part you 3D printed). Given the fact than a rather experienced flyer had less than a 50% succe3ss rate building something so hard to assemble just does not bode well for it. I would say 2 out of 5 and it on gets 2 because it came close to the listed speed.

I feel your pain I hate grp it’s like egg shell and really hard to fix. I recon that prop was too big and caused problems on take off due to the torque twisting body causing lack of lift And the lower tail even if you did bleed all the speed on landing will always drive nose into ground Keep the wing and build your own balsa body will b much stronger and you can fix it in the field. I bet it will go just as fast. I can tell this plane vexed you. I had one like this once Although it comes as a kit it takes longer to rig than it would to scratch build from start to finish. Wonder if the creators are actually modellers or cad dreamers. Bet your glad yo didn’t pay for it 👍👍👍👍

Excellent review, well done! Being very new to drones, that is having only begun my research on them as a patrol tool, my opinions won’t be worth much… It definitely seems to be a poor investment as the airframe is far too happy to fail from the excessive landing speed combined with it’s pitiful durability! Flight duration makes it suitable for only the speed inclined flying enthusiast. I’d have probably cut that troublesome hole from your initial build with a Dremel tool. Thanks for the review. It contains all the information I found relevant for my needs. Best,
