- There's now a Facebook group to discuss builds, successes and problems. Come join at / vtolhangout
Resolved a few issues and wanted to give an update. Find the new param file uploaded to thingiverse page.
1) moved tail motor ESC outside for better cooling
2) added capacitors to all ESCs
3) soft-mounted FC to reduce effect of vibrations
4) re-tuned PIDs and other settings
5) resolved a problem with prop striking nacelle during yaw

To calibrate ESCs use Q_ESC_CAL = 1 over USB and connect power with throttle set to maximum then drop throttle to zero. Reset Q_ESC_CAL = 0.

- note the Q_tilt_yaw_angle.. I have mine set 10 degrees past vertical
Great update. Sounds like you making progress and gaining confidence in your T1 VTOL build.
At 00:05:30 , glad to learn that there is a scraping issue, I'll keep this in mind for the next design revision on the nacelle.
Looking at that interior, wiring everything up is going to be fun :( Still need to order a few more parts to complete my build.
Yes it’s a tight space. If you can crimp your own connectors that would be ideal to keep it more clean. I didn’t. Note the tip I give on my walkthrough video about unscrewing the wing connectors and pulling everything out of the plane to wire up and test before re-installing in the fuse. It helps a lot. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Thank you for a great video. Please share latest params. I think it would be very helpful for many people. Thank you.

Woah, there is another one!
Thanks for the update!
Very cool! Now I want one.
Thank you!
for the black/red power wires on the rear ESC, does that get connected to one of the existing ESC inputs on the flight controller so that three ESC's (the two on the wings plus the rear motor esc) are all combined into two ESC inputs on the FC?
Thenks
Thank you for the update. Nice work. Question, on the H743-wing FC how did you connect 3 motors to the PCB? Reading through the Matek documentation and I only see 2 places to wire in 2 ESC's with S1 and S2 being the signal locations. Would love to see a simple wire diagram.
Hi cuflyn, actually motors can connect to any of the pwm outputs, not just S1 and S2. If you watch my other video on the settings, you’ll see how I set up my motors and to what pins. I have them on s3, s4, and s5.
Thank you👍🏻

Nice!
Following this and your other video but I don't understand q titlt yaw angle, setting to zero and then 'fixing' it?
You’re just checking that at zero the props don’t hit the nacelle. If they do then you need adjust the endpoints so they don’t hit or make mechanical adjustments. Then set the tilt yaw angle back to 12 or so and adjust endpoints for vertical. Then again double check that at zero tilt yaw angle the props won’t hit the nacelle.
This is my dream setup, not in the least because it costs a minimum of $1K for a pre-assembled VTOL plane. Am I right in assuming you are using the VTOL kit sold for $159 by Hee Wing? In terms of this plane's performance, how far away from the launch point can this plane fly before you start to see video glitches?
Also, how fast doe it cruise at the most economical battery consumption speed? Finally how many minutes of flight time are you getting per full battery charge? Thanks for any responses you can offer.
Its a great setup. No this is a 3d printed version I designed (based on someone else's work as well) and it was available before Heewing came out with theirs (probably gave them the idea!). So the 3d print files are free and on thingiverse (see link in description). Video distance depends on the type of video transmission. I use DJI digital and can go 3-4 miles without glitches. Others have gone further. I cruse about 30 mph for good efficiency and can fly about 15 minutes.
HOw did you get the wiring through the nacelle so that the tilt rotor functions without causing issues with the wiring? I can't seem to get mine routed through. The wires from the motor cause all sorts of issues.
Am surprised you are having such trouble. Perhaps your motors have a very stiff wires coming out the side. You may need to bend them hard to get them to stay at that necessary 90 degrees behind the motor. If they are so stiff that they won’t stay perhaps gently apply heat while holding the wires that way and hold them that way while they cool.
@@Appelm1 It was the wire on the motors (too thick). Replaced it with thinner silicon wire and it works fine now. Thanks
i like this vtol but its a little too small , is there a bigger version ?

Did you need to calibrate those Cyclone ESC's?
Not if you use dshot
@@Appelm1 Thanks for answering my questions so far. I'm really close to getting this to work. The ESC's seem to work fine now, but my issue is that the motors seem to be out of order (I am using your param file from facebook and setup the wiring to the Matek 743 to match your file, regarding Motor 1, 2 and 4). The problem I have is that when the switch is in drone mode, only the front two motors spin, and when I switch to plane mode, all three motors spin. How do I fix this? I have tried changing the motor layout in the 'servo output' section, but that doesn't seem to reverse the modes.
@@AllAroundTube50 hard to say but sounds like your modes are backwards. Join the Facebook group and we can help you debug.
also is there a way that i can controll it with the dji fpv remote
?
I’ve never used a dji remote so I’m not sure. I think it would work. Dji sends sbus I think to the flight controller. So it’s like a good other. The only question is mapping your flight modes to switches. I’m not sure how many flight modes you can set up this way.
Thanks
Why not use mode 6 pos switches
Hard to find the right buttons when under the goggles.
We're to order parts??
lots of places: racedayquads or amazon for the motors and ESCs and props and FC. Servos on Amazon or readymaderc or hobbyking. Linkage from dubro. The 3d printed parts you need to print/order.
Can we order the 3D parts through you?
@@othnealhaynes2194 no but you can download the STLs and send them to a 3d printing service to have them printed.
Ok
