Thanks for the breakdown, I like these videos where you show your setups. Your T1 Ranger appears to be set up perfectly, not too much and not too little, but well thought out and built.
I didn't really have any specific goal in mind, like duration, speed, distance, etc. I just kinda of set it up to do pretty good all around, and it seems to work.
Thanks for pointing out antenna/camera placement at 3:45. A handy design tip to remember when planing a pan servo install. Keith, you might want to add a link to the printer filament you used, as source didn't appear on screen (7:35). It's a nice looking grey, similar to military grey. (not too dark) Love the design/integration (with spar) of the FC tray hat. (13:25) Very pragmatic and makes for a nice clean look.
Sweet setup. I have a very similar setup at the moment but im running an 03 and elrs. Love this plane. I realized recently I have enough spare parts to build a second. How did you organize your wires from the wings? The thing that frustrates me most is how messy all that is in my plane. I am going to download and modify your flip mount to hold the usb and my LED controller.
I also just ordered some Lion packs too. Stoked to try those out. I also modeled the side rails too, to replace the wooden ones that broke out of mine.
fantastic setup it looks as well as it works,ive been on the fence about getting a 3d printer but after the video especially the reciever antenna solution you made ive decidded to get one for sure. thanks so much for all your hard work .
I waited a long time to finally get a printer and learn how to use it, but once I did my only regret was not getting one sooner... lol It's one of the most versatile and useful tools you can have in this hobby. The learning curve can be steep depending on what you get, but it's worth it.
Was eagerly awaiting this video, thank you! Great find on the pan servo by DF Robot, they seem to be widely available and reasonably priced. Love this whole setup and will be duplicating it. I will also add the VTX switch you mentioned in a previous video to keep the Walksnail off while getting a lock or configuring.
I knew I would forget something! lol The Menace R/C Switch is hiding under the battery tray with the wiring. I overlooked it and didn't mention that in the video. ;)
Did you add any protection for the fuselage for belly landing? I mostly have to land on asphalt so I need some protection. The landing gears are pretty much useless but I was trying to find a design for some 3d printable landing skids that simply plug in where the landing gear should go.
Thanks. Informative video. Perhaps make your own antenna with a floppy wire ground element and keep it mounted vertical or switch to 2.4Ghz ELRS as I did with a diversity receiver.
Awesome build buddy! Love clean builds. Been watching videos on setups since the Vtol version comes today. I’m running CF with the ImmortalT also. Have you noticed and big difference with mounting it horizontally vs vertically?
Thank you for the great overview! Some very useful 3D prints there. I think I'm about to pull the trigger on a T1. Do you find the stock motors have enough power for some fun proxy flying? I'm not looking for a long range flyer, because I have other planes for that, so looking at this for more of a "basher". Keep up the great content!
Yep, no rudder on this one and I use the rudder stick to pan the camera instead. I do that on most of my planes that don't use yaw control. It's my preferred way to do it, until I forget and try to use rudder in a turn or while landing in a crosswind! lol
@@bonafidepirate Yes, I'm using the side slider on my TX16S but centering the camera is a pain...I have got used to it though. There must be a way, I'm thinking of mixing Rudder and Aileron on my little Ranger G2, then using the Rudder stick to pan with....🤔😳😳
Very neat set up as usual, puts my stuff to shame! I built mine for long range so not for speed. It's carrying 10,000mah 2s 21700 but it's too inefficient . Only returns around 130mah/km so not gonna be my PB breaker:(
Did you have to change the servo range settings to get the 270deg? I picked up some 180deg servos but they require 500-2500 range, my boxer isn’t able to go that far from what I can tell. Wondering how you got this to work at full servo range.
If you're using Inav or Ardupilot you can set the servo endpoints in there and get the max range. With the normal 1000-2000 range you'll only get about 180 degrees.
Look in the "Full Parameter List" in Mission Planner and set them there, it will still warn you that it's out of range, but you can set them from 500-2500 and it will take them. The parameters are SERVOx_MIN and SERVOx_MAX, where "x" is the servo output your pan servo is plugged into.
@@bonafidepirate I have the same pan servo as you but cant get 300 degree movement. Set yaw mixer to 1000 and tx16 to 500% but only get about 40 degrees each way. Any ideas?
Excellent video, Keith! Thanks a bunch! 😃 Believe or not, I didn't build an airplane yet... Because I was afraid of flying alone and so on. But now I've found a group of people that flies every weekend near here! 😃 So I think I'm going to build a Axon, experimental airlines style... Should be great to learn to fly! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I thought you were a seasoned pilot by now... lol I know I've seen you around the community for years. Scratch building with foam board is quite fun! I miss Ed and his builds.
@@bonafidepirate Me too! And I've been flying quads, mostly micros... You know? But now I've found those lads... Well, I just ordered some nylon screws for building it. 😂
How far back is it in the fuselage? I'm guessing everything is pushed to the back... lol Mine is a bit under 600g all up, 580-something I think. I'd have to check it again. It seems to fly good at that weight.
@bonafidepirate it's right against the wing spar , mine comes in at 1050g and it still flies awsome , cut some of the foam out the nose to get it to fit

I really like this setup and just gone digital with walksnail. Did you cut more foam out on the rear vent and how have you secured the pan servo
Thanks. Informative video. Perhaps make your own antenna with a floppy wire ground element and keep it mounted vertical or switch to 2.4Ghz ELRS as I did with a diversity receiver.
What's your thought on vtx in the back (if cable length wasn't an issue), then use batteries as your balance adjustment?
Have you ever had issues with moisture/humidity when flying through or near clouds? Do you do anything to protect electronics from this?
Awesome build buddy! Love clean builds. Been watching videos on setups since the Vtol version comes today.
I’m running CF with the ImmortalT also. Have you noticed and big difference with mounting it horizontally vs vertically?
Nice detailed video,can you upload the stl file for that thing on which the pan servo is screwed onto
Very clean build, impressive!

Did you try the new VTOL fimi Manta, should be better than this one according to my test.
Nice mods. I maybe going over to hd, possibly walksnail soon. Only issue I get is wings usually pop off on landing.
Great video!!
Nice overview, I see now it has no Rudder, so you Pan the camera using the Rudder stick for self centering....😏😏🇬🇧

do you have problems with the gps mounted inside the t-1?

If you're using Inav or Ardupilot you can set the servo endpoints in there and get the max range. With the normal 1000-2000 range you'll only get about 180 degrees.
Ardupilot range only goes to 800-2200, anything more it will let me set but says it’s out of range. Servo still doesn’t increase range from 90deg.
Look in the "Full Parameter List" in Mission Planner and set them there, it will still warn you that it's out of range, but you can set them from 500-2500 and it will take them. The parameters are SERVOx_MIN and SERVOx_MAX, where "x" is the servo output your pan servo is plugged into.
Loads of info! Thanks!
Hope it helps! lol
Neat, neat, neat!
Thanks!
Just moving over to HD with Walksnail. How do you operate the pan servo. Slider or switch?
Slider on the TX16S. I hope you enjoy HD as much as I have! lol I've rarely flown analog since moving to Walksnail.
@@bonafidepirate I've flown a friend's drak on DJI which was great but walksnail seems a better option for me. Gyroflow support is one plus

What flight controller do you use in the T1 ranger ?
I have a Matek F405-WSE in it
Nice build.
Thanks Vernon!
What model of fc are you using?
Matek F405-WSE
I'm running mine with a 4s 5200mah lipo lol
How far back is it in the fuselage? I'm guessing everything is pushed to the back... lol Mine is a bit under 600g all up, 580-something I think. I'd have to check it again. It seems to fly good at that weight.
@bonafidepirate it's right against the wing spar , mine comes in at 1050g and it still flies awsome , cut some of the foam out the nose to get it to fit
Did you limit the throttle top end somehow or did you switch to lower kv motors?
@Winston Smith no , I'm running the motors that came with the vtol conversion kit
