My first Mega flight

Posted by Fabien Bruning on August 8, 2010 at 8:40am
So after first connecting the engine the other way around, rain , and more rain, I finally managed to make my first flight in Stabilize mode. With just P-control on a Wingo clone, both at 0.06, it manages to maintain it's height perfectly, but it rolls around a bit.

Guess upping the P was a bit enthusiastic! I'm not posting anything revolutionary, but I'm very happy it flies :)

Picture of the APM mounted inside the plane, no video, sorry.

    Hehe, just glued in the fit for the brushless of my Projeti. It's just I didn't want to use anything new while testing the APM for the first time.

    Sadly, I bought the Wingo clone from someone else, no diy involed as far as I know. Then again, he might have built it himself since I've never seen another one.

    I'm using those same batteries for everything, though I haven't connected the ESC to the APM directly, rather it powers the APM via the receiver. (yeah, that's a plane still flying NiCad. Old school!)

    Here's a couple of pics in case anyone's still interested:

    that looks like a great diy job from the ground up. Can you put your camera in landscape mode and post more pics of your plane??
