"Rob,
You need R/C equipment. Without an R/C controller you can't arm the quad or start it in auto mode. The wiki also says that you need to take off manually before switching to auto mode.
Also, you shouldn't fly without…"

I have the Bixler RC plane from Udrone.com...I just took it out to the field and it had nearly no lift. It would be in the air for maybe 3 seconds then bank right and nose dive to the ground. I don't…Continue

When I try to switch modes using my R/C controller it only switches between the very first mode and the very last mode. How can i switch into the third or fourth mode? I have the Spektrum DX5e. ThanksContinue
Bixler Wings

Do I need to glue the wings to the bixler? I feel like it would be easier not only for transportation if I don't, but also when the plane eventually crashes and I need to buy new wings. Thanks!- Rob…Continue

I have the bixler RC plane and was wondering if anyone made some sort of packaging or a way to have the plane safely travel in a car after everything is glued together. Thanks!- Rob ZybrickContinue

I connect the battery to the ESC when the start up process finished all works except the brushless motor, It seem to me that the esc process start up was not completed. I was able to move all channel except channel 3…"
James masterman replied to Rob Zybrick's discussion Udrone Wont Fly"Also, if you are hand launching it, make sure you are throwing fairly level. I have a Bixler loaded with APM1 and FPV gear with a 3000mAh battery.
Even with an upgraded motor (2000kv inrunner) and prop (APC 6x4) a fully loaded Bixler…"

"Try a different battery."
Rob Zybrick replied to Rob Zybrick's discussion Udrone Wont Fly"Yeah i tried switching the prop, starting to think its more of a center of gravity and power problem. I didn't feel the plane pulling out of my hand like previous rc planes I had did"
3D RoboticsChris Anderson replied to Rob Zybrick's discussion Udrone Wont Fly
"I use a 2200mah 30c batteries. Even heavier than yours. Loads of power. Are you sure the prop isn't the wrong way around, for some reason? I think the little number should be facing back.
The Bixler is designed to carry FPV gear, even…"
Rob Zybrick replied to Rob Zybrick's discussion Udrone Wont Fly"sorry 70 mm or 7 cm ha. And what kind of battery you using? I have the battery behind the ardupilot and the telemetry and rx in the nose. Just feel like the plane doesn't have enough lift"
3D RoboticsChris Anderson replied to Rob Zybrick's discussion Udrone Wont Fly
"7mm!!! It's 7 CM! If you really did put it 7MM behind the leading edge, that explains everything. WAY too nose heavy.
I fly a Bixler with the full 3DR setup every week. Stock motor, props. Works great."
Rob Zybrick replied to Rob Zybrick's discussion Udrone Wont Fly"Did the center of gravity 7mm behind the wing...saw that online. The battery I'm using is a LiPo 1250mAh 11.1V 3 cell. I know bixler is a great plane, just feel like its too heavy with everything on it. Any thoughts?"
3D RoboticsChris Anderson replied to Rob Zybrick's discussion Udrone Wont Fly
"Have you checked the Center of Gravity (it depends on where you put in your batteries)? It should balance right on the spar.
What kind of batteries are you using (number of cells, amp ratings)?
This is a standard Bixler.…"
Tim McPherson replied to Rob Zybrick's discussion Flight modes"Hi,
The ArduPlane wiki getting started guide appendix has some good info on mode selection with various Tx units. I have a DX6i which is used for 5 mode switching. This might be a good place for you to start. Enjoy"
Tommy Larsen replied to Rob Zybrick's discussion No mode Change Guided"You cannot arm the system without a transmiter and/or reciever. Arm is necessary to change modes, isn't it ?"

Mission Space: Bixler Transportation Building Instructions
Posted on August 4, 2012 at 8:00pm 2 Comments 1 Like
My original idea for the transportation involved wood, foam, and cement cylinders. After conversing with my father we put our ideas together and came up with an easier, lighter, and more effective design...classic engineering.
The new idea consists of a PVC tube frame with cement cardboard cylinders cut in half, and surrouded with bubble wrap.…
