  • Chill and watch as I build and then fly a HeeWing F-01 high speed wing!
    This video took over a month to create, so if you enjoyed it please give it a like :)
    I technically built this wing for free. I used TH-cam revenue to buy the wing itself, and then kitted it out with spare electronics I had lying around. I also used a BETAFPV ELRS kit that they kindly sent me for free. You can get the kit from here:

    I made a small mistake in the video at 8:38 I used the 5" prop for flying at high speed. The 6" prop was for endurance flying. Also used the 6" prop for the VTOL

      This a cool and way more than a toy if used for surveillance of one’s property.
      Tell me what kind of range are you getting? …and for a recon mission? …how about in areas with partially heavy forestation?…any options with thermal cameras and or starlight cams?
      I would like to invest in a First person perspective drone for both the fun of flying as well as as sweep of my property. It is mostly flat land (45 miles west of the Chicago limits… with a large clear space that is about one mile by 3 miles roughly oval and a few more heavily forested. I would also really like to fly a pattern manually and be able to send it off to repeat that recon sweep autonomously.
      What do you suggest?

    • @gizfpv
      @gizfpv  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@robertwalsh5461 You could do all that with this wing, although there's definitely better options. A mini Skyhunter would be my suggestion. You can get very long flight times with that (over and hour with the right batteries), and it would easily be able to carry things such as a thermal camera. As for your last question, any drone that's equipped with a GPS unit and a flight controller running INAV firmware would be able to do autonomous flights/fly a pre-determined pattern.

      @@OGDragonflare Also less air for a jet engine to burn its fuel with, resulting in less thrust. Jets are not flying with rocket engines.
      The gain in speed is higher than the loss of thrust the props can provide, even if its just a litlle, the difference decrease with altitude so above a certain altitude the maximum airspeed will decrease but the maximum ground speed won't deacrease as fast and not from the same altitude. He should also fly in the same heading as the wind is going to fly faster (not relative to the air tho), that's even more true with those small planes as they are very light so the wind has a huge effect on them, compared to heavier and bigger planes.

  • @AerialWaviator
    @AerialWaviator 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Love how the GPS drops nicely into the FC mount at 4:55. 😉 Assume you did one massive raid on the spares box, then came up with a strategy. Always learn a few tidbits from watching your well edited content. The use of 3d-printed camera mount (5:18) that glues in vs. gluing in the camera is really thinking outside the spares box. Makes for easy recovery, or swap-out in future. ♥😎
    Regarding the speed and weight (12:31), generally heavier planes will achieve better performance at higher speeds. I'd suggest checking propeller speed (RPM vs. pitch). Beside propeller, you might check speed claim to see what battery was used. A higher voltage would provide more power (provided ESC and electronics support).
    A coat of turtle wax (🐢) could make it a be more slick (just kidding). BTW: one thing I noticed is the 3d-prints for VTx and Rx appears to have a lip, which could act like a spoiler; particularly as close to leading edge of wing. If had be placed further back, they'd be behind laminar separation point and have less effect (but would be in area where foam not as thinks. Tradeoffs)
    One extra you could try is printing servo covers that add an aero shroud to cover elevon pushrods and horn). Know would not be stock, but it might enable getting the most Hee out of that Wing. Alternatively trying high speed passes inverted might have an alternate limiting speed. (never know, that fine print in claims, etc).

    • @gizfpv
      @gizfpv  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Owning a 3d printer is invaluable when it comes to building aircraft. I pretty much always design and print parts for each build I do, as it just makes them much cleaner builds :) On that note though, you may be right about the VTX and RX mounts having a slight lip that may have interrupted the airflow and induced drag. Although as someone else commented, the VTX antenna probably produced the most drag. Ideally a embedded antenna should be used I reckon. Servo covers might not be a bad idea though. As for trying high speed passes inverted.....that sounds like a recipe for foam snow and tears 😂

    I've been building & flying quad for years, but now its time to head over to the dark side and build some FPV wings. HeeWing is my first build.
    Never built with foam before, and have lots of questions about glue selection [hot or thick CA], laminate or not, etc. Is there a good source for basic stuff like this?

    • @gizfpv
      @gizfpv  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, my channel 😂 But there's several other good channels out there. Off the top of my head there's Andrew Newton, Arxanglerc, adamgdoesfpv, bonefidepirate, rcmodelreviews, flitetest and painless360. You'll also find there's various good Facebook groups worth looking at, such as the inav fixed wing group, long range hooligans and the HeeWing official fpv community.
      As for your specific questions, in my opinion the best glue to use is Uhu Por as it's strong and flexible (and cheap) although hotglue and CA also work (however CA will melt some kinds of foam). And as for laminate that's really down to personal preference. It does add a bit of strength to a aircraft and does look nicer, however if you're a careful pilot and not likely to crash often it's probably not something you'll want to waste time doing

    Glad to see your still building analogue instead of going dji like most others, cant afford to buy a new set up of goggles then air units for my builds! Also that music you use on your vids is great,lol!
    Hopefully heewing might send you a ranger now you did them proud with alternative build for this kit,makes sense for them buisness wise to have us all catered for in these builds and yours is only one i saw going analog so far.

    • @gizfpv
      @gizfpv  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For sure man! I have tried the DJI fpv system, and it is cool, but it's way overpriced. I don't mind paying a 1 off expense for goggles, but I don't wanna be spending a fortune on air units for each build I do too. If a cheaper alternative (possibly Orqa) comes on the market I may get involved with HD fpv, but for the time being i'm happy with good old fashioned analogue.
      And funny enough, Heewing have sent me a Ranger! I haven't built it yet though, it's my next project....after I finish my current one :p

    @Giz FPV Thanks for the tutorial. What would you recommend for a flying wing for novices?

    • @gizfpv
      @gizfpv  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you're a complete novice, get a Zohd Dart PNP kit. It's a nice small low power wing that requires minimal assembly. If you have a little building experience however go for a S800. Bit of a bigger wing, and requires some assembly, but its almost indestructible so very forgiving if you're likely to crash a lot :)

      I didn't realise that, that's a shame. Should really come with the full size antenna. The mini antenna was ok, although I did have a failsafe whilst within LOS distance whilst using it. It's 'ok' for fixed wing if you're flying close by, but not really ideal

    @jayp.8360 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm super new and was wondering what a good resource is for determining which parts to use and how to program them. Are kit fixed wing drones like this decent for long distance flights that might take a longer time? And can they be programmed to be semi-autonomous (using the gps, etc)?

    • @gizfpv
      @gizfpv  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      As a general rule of thumb, fixed wing drones can fly much longer and further than multirotor drones. And any fixed wing drone running Inav firmware can be programmed to fly autonomous way point missions. As for parts, the easiest way to know what is good is to check out what other people are using. But in general for fixed wing you'll want a Matek flight controller and a TBS receiver and video transmitter. For camera either Runcam or Caddx are good brands, and for antennas TrueRC is decent.

    Whats the motor kv also the 1330mah is a good bat have you tried the 1550 without the extra nose weight and maybe swapping to a 40amp with a 2207 2700kv motor swinging a 5x5 prop. Ive gotten a mini ar wing with that kinda spec to around 120-150mph.
