After 4 months of work we finish to port AP_HAL library to VR Brain.

so now we are ready for test Arduplane on VRBrain and see our VR Plane fligh in the sky :)

In this video you can see only first test that we doing last week.

Our configuration are :

  • VR Brain 4.0
  • Mediatek GPS
  • Radio Hitech aurora 9
  • Battery 3S 1800 mah
  • We decide to use a Sail Plane EasyGlider Pro for our first test , it fly very well :

We are using  3 servos configuration 1 for control the roll of plane connect to two servo ,  one for pitch control and other for YAW control.

We try to fly 3 mode :

  • manual for have a full direct control of Plane .
  • stabilize for control auto stabilization of plane when we putted the stick in the center.
  •  return to landing , this is the fist automatic functionality that we test on our VR Plane :) It's work very well and when reach the point start to Circle .

Fly a Plane is a lot different that fly a Multicopter , I fly for 4 years only multicopter but my first impression is that the plane fly in more natural way than a multicopter ... less problem .... more simple to control  but could be only a first impression :) 

So the plane have a lot of limit respect of Multicopter but it could be a very long flight time respect to Multicopter especially in Sail Plane configuration.

The video is developed by VR Media division , the Chief of division is Daniele that's  our beta tester of  VR Plane.

Thanks to the DevTeam and beta tester  for this great result.
