Yes I was surprised the servo current seemed very low. I have a new servo tester coming soon that should show peak current. Anyway, I dont think just choosing a bigger power servo is the answer. Previously I had a HS 8kgcm servo in there and it lasted about the same time. Perhaps they dont like being connected to a vibrating thing?

@vincehogg8935 could you be sending 500hz pwm when the servo can only take 50hz? Also have you got the thrust vectoring thing off? They are the only two FC settings I can think of that could be causing this.

@@willwill5539PWM is set to 50hz and the motors are fixed in foreward flight. The servo is carrying their weight but just uses about 0.2a to keep them there. I could design a stop for them to rest on but I don’t really think that is the problem.

@@vincehogg8935 this is why I would tend to go for 5 motor config. With tilts, if a servo fails, you can be stuck neither quad or plane. Could linear actuator with a worm drive be worth a try, or they too slow?

@@willwill5539 Yes too slow. The front motors servos control the yaw in hover so need a bit of speed. I like this layout as there is only one redundant motor in cruise. No doubt someone more clever than me could compile an efficiency chart for all the vtol layouts, certainly its a disadvantage that the front props need a low pitch for hover but all planes are a compromise of some sort. Im sure I can sort this servo issue out by buying a Savox or similar.

I didn’t knew that house cats can kill rabbits

@@kalyansapsd1 Phew, They can even kill bats, squirrels and also birds

Petting because the cat is destroying the wildlife? Are you okay in your head?

@@anomaly7923 the cat kills for fun and pleasure. True predators, that aren't domesticated, kill for food and survival. Do you not understand that difference?

that shit fuckin died buddy

Ya que lo estás grabando podías haber hecho algo y lo que tú llamas m***** era un ser vivo yo no sé si el gato lo mataría aunque los siameses se las traen😢😢

Bunnies are like 1 dies 45 born

I will share them on Cults3d when I have made some improvements.

QLoiter mode on Arduplane. Holding on GPS and baro altitude.

Motors are MT4008-12 - 600kv. Quite old now. Front props are 14x8. Im using a heavy 18Ah 4s liion battery so its a bit under powered in hover but still gets the job done.

There is no real need for extra thrust. The front 2 at full power will give a speed around 70mph, and moving the motor right to the back and adding a tilt servo will completely change the balance and the design.

I need to think of one

@vincehogg8935 😄 haha

Hi. I dont really have a build blog but perhaps these pics help. The first pivot system was too weak and bent so see the version with big pivot bearings and large shaft. www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/8ih3qyauykcog8yye5wui/AG_sQBunUHkXCD4lgSt0o6w?rlkey=7pcwscbh5ybn8lszzpwi93r0i&st=f8gszcfv&dl=0

Not really a blog but - facebook.com/share/p/RQCcrPMdy3n2YDhC/?mibextid=WC7FNe Motors- Tmotor MT4008 600kv

Thanks, Im not sure it will be so good once all the wing is on. 1.8 mts span.

Didnt have time to work on it for a while. Someone said the 'new' firmware is better. Im not sure which one he meant. The only new one I see (from yesterday) is for mavlink. I would like to use that but there is no information how to set it up. ie which gimbal to select in Mission Planner etc.

@@vincehogg8935 that firmware that includes mavlink may work better but I can see that for using with ardupilot you need to compile it, since the include the source code for driving the the gimbal by mavlink commands

Tested today with the FPV firmware. Very bad gimbal jumping. See my vid loaded today. Im wondering if I have a faulty gimbal. I tried pulling off my sbus wire and the gimbal just stays at its last setting. It dosent jump around.

All my tests have been in angle mode. I tried speed mode on sbus and it behaves like the 'home' is randomly applied. I then tried speed mode with PWM connections and it seems fine (with FPV firmware 000019). So only one way working. PWM speed mode.
