    you dive too sharp from 200ft, i usualy decent slowly to approach until 30ft and then begin to land, never let me down 🙂

    @adamz7802 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Cool video, in previous episode you said that aircraft weights around 3kg, what's the wingspan of it or wing area. I built a similar plane and it weights 1,7kg. I was wondering how much I can load the wings of it.

    • @letsMakeItFly
      @letsMakeItFly 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I'm jealous, I wish I could get it down that low. The wingspan is 2 meters long and the total wing area is measured at 4075cm^2. This version did come in a few hundred grams lighter but nothing really worth noting. MKII (3D Printed wing ribs) AUW was 3306g and the MKIII (Wood wings) came in at 3088g. Hope this gives you the confidence to load it up! Cheers and thanks for watching!

    I really liked your video! I have years of experience with the auto-land feature in ArduPlane with both slow and fast planes, and I recommend a descent angle between 8 and 9 degrees! That's the range that 'always works' with wind, without wind, heavy, light... Obviously, having the TECS and other flight parameters well tuned.

    Well I don't usually gasp on YT vids, but that did it. While you're designing those leading edge devices why not add retracts. 🙃 Didn't look like any flare. How much energy are you carrying before?

    • @letsMakeItFly
      @letsMakeItFly 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I've certainly though about retracts but because the landing legs are so long it would have to be a beefy mechanism and I think we're near our max weight as it is! It was painful to watch to say the least haha. Not sure about the energy

  • @timtheplaneman
    @timtheplaneman 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    What you haven't shown is the landing pitch you configured in the mission. It looks to me like you might have set it up to come in too steep.

    • @letsMakeItFly
      @letsMakeItFly 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You can see the glide slope angle on the flight plan portion of the video, minute 8:31 on the very bottom. It shows 16.4deg. I agree it was too steep. I was just terrified of the trees! To be fair however, Jenney, the Ranger 2400, had a similar glide slope angle.

      Thank you! Very much appreciate you becoming a patreon. That could be something I can look into but I currently have a decent backlog on upcoming videos and probably wouldn’t get around to it until late next year. I would download the fusion files and try modifying it yourself! If you dont know how to use CAD its a very rewarding program to learn. Sorry!

    Tuning an autolanding sometimes is tricky. The more "glidy" the airframe is, the harder it is to tune the landing. 13deg glideslope is so unusual for me, but i'm glad it works for you.(My slope is 4.0-4.5deg with no headwind, 5.0-5.5deg with 5+m\s headwind, and 3.5deg for extended wing configuration). If the plane is gliding well, has low drag, it tends to speed up during landing slope even with no motor. The wing makes more lift, your plane climbs up, AP trying to oitch down making even more speed. So if there are no airbrakes, flaps are fully engaged, whe only way is to play with glideslope angle. Also consider using pre-flare stage parameters, so you could lower your speed after ~30-40ft.alt, thus shortening flare to touchdown distance. Even if the plane will not decelerate with lower speed setpoint, this will make sure that prop will not spin before flare(in sope particular cases it is needed). While doing a mission, use DO_LAND_START waypoint somewhere(it is a marker, not actual mission item. indicates the begining of landing procedure) before your landing waypoints. While doing normal scenatio, it will not affect anything, but in case of something goes wrong, or RTL mode, AP will consider all waypoints of a mission(even not in AUTO mode) after DO_LAND_START as landing procedure, so it can land the plane automatically. Sometimes i manually write a note to myself of WP number where landing procedure starts, so i can change WP to it. Using DO_LAND_START can help to make it automatic.

    • @letsMakeItFly
      @letsMakeItFly 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks for the message! I appreciate the insight. This is my first attempt at an autoland and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it went. I will continue to experiment with glide slope angles and DO_LAND_START procedures. This will certainly be very helpful in my upcoming videos!

    @FlyingFun. 29 วันที่ผ่านมา

    very cool, my landing sites are usually just a field and often with kids and dogs running around needing to be avoided if possible lol, making a n auto landing that can compensate for that would be challenging haha. Obviously for military use this would be useful, for a hobby flyer it is fun to tinker with though. Well done.
