Your Inav knowledge past and present is going to be key to many peoples flying success. You are to Winged model owners what Josh Bardwell is to multirotors. By the way both of you are awesome and thank you
Skål! Thanks for putting all of the effort into these videos, you have helped me access the hobby just as much if not more than any other single thing. Besides some expendable income of course.
About to take on iNAV and building my first "real" FPV - a ZOHD Dart 250G. My introduction to fixed wing thus far has been a Parrot Disco. This is like moving from Windows to Linux! Your videos are greatly helping my research toward getting my first TX/RX/FPV Setup ordered and setup though! Thanks!
I guess this is all down to personal preference really, I'm not a fan of Acro, I only fly in manual because I actually want to fly my planes myself without the AP interfering. Cheers
Thank you so much for your videos. I could make a successful quadcopter on F450 with pixhawk and test it in stabilize, alt hold , loiter and land modes. I owe the entire learning from your channel. Thank you so much !! Lidar has arrived and I wish to use the same sometime next week! Best wishes and God bless you
Here's the problem with inav= after correctly trimming the control surfaces using autotrim, the trim is sometime changed a little bit in the next time we fly the aircraft. In Acro mode this is not a big deal, but in manual mode this can be a problem as we should not use trim button on the TX.
Just had a successful flight with my Talon 250g and acro is the best way to fly it due to the tiny size of it. The size of the plane should also be considered.
Thank you for the explanation of Acro! So I recently finished setting up a new ZOHD Talon GT and I have maiden the bird. The Talon felt way to sensitive on manual mode to me so I proceeded to tame down the model mechanically by installing longer horns on control surfaces. But it still needs further adjustments, ti is still a bit too sensitive. Which setting in INAV could I use to further tune the plane to be more stable and docile on manual mode?
Hi, you should probably mention, that it is necessary to adjust the FF already on the bench, before you use any of the stabilised modes in flight or even for launch. I think it is dangerous to fly any fixed wing model with a wrong, or most likely waaay too low FF, because the model will have probably way too less movement and therefor no authority in the sky and crash into something or just fly away. I always recommend to setup FF on the bench before first chuck to something like 80% of surface throw like in manual mode. At least the FF, then get it in the air and perform Autotune. Another absolute must have before first throw is to setup your rates properly, otherwise Autotune will mess up as well
INav... pardon my ignorance, but what is it? I am very new to anything outside of your standard transmitter receiver system but I’m looking at getting a flight stabilizer and maybe even something like an auto pilot, is that what this is?
Painless, thanks for your informative videos. When in inav angle mode is it normal for a fly wing to lose altitude in an aileron-only turn? I'm confused as to why level pitch isn't maintained during a bank. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi Lee. I need a bit of help if you find a spare minute? I have just migrated from inav 2.4 to 3.2. However, on the bench test every time I switch between modes, the RTH mode is displayed as acro mode. When the model is connected to the PC it is showing that it goes into RTH, nevertheless in my goggles still showing that it is in acro mode. Please help me!!. Thanks in advance!
The GPS modes will not engage on the bench/when not in flight. See my INAV 3.0 fixed wing mini series on the channel for how I set it up. Lots of setup tips in the two videos in there at the moment..
After a few flights then do you simply delete manual mode? Or is it always worth having manual mode there as a back up? I’m thinking keep it simple and the less modes the better!
Hey, I’m setting up a wing right now! How can I set up trims in inav? Is it just recommended to just use normal transmitter trims or will it kinda mess with inav?
So basically to start with - you just need Manual and Acro modes selectable - together with a switch for trim and tuning. Its confusing as Inav wiki doesn't realy say this.

Thankbyou so much. Ive been so confused on acro mode. This video cleared my confusion right up
Once again, all the detailed questions I have lead right back to P360! Thanks for this video Lee!
Skål! Thanks for putting all of the effort into these videos, you have helped me access the hobby just as much if not more than any other single thing. Besides some expendable income of course.
Thank's for the info on INAV , I'm still learning it and your video's keep me flying.
Thanks for answering the question I had left about Inav. Keep up your great channel!

Nailed it. Thanks!
Thanks for the video! The more iNav info the better!! :)
I did not know there was a difference between acro and manual mode so thanks!
I guess this is all down to personal preference really, I'm not a fan of Acro, I only fly in manual because I actually want to fly my planes myself without the AP interfering. Cheers
Manual on drak for ever. Best flying wing to date
Really interesting! Thanks a lot, Lee! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
i love your video and the way you explain
Have been looking for this coming from Vector's "Gyro" mode. Thanks!

Loving ya planes now aint you lee.great work as allways my friend.take care and stay safe

Defintley. Most super lightweight planes and wings need a stabiliser to fly in anything but completley still air.. see my reviews. happy flying!

Just turn I off and use a high FF, acro becomes really good, with just the wind corrections.

Interesting. Thanks for the comment. See my iNav builds for how I do it. Works every time for me without that step. Happy flying!

Always pays to check out my playlists. The new iNav for beginners 2020 series will explain all.... Happy flying

Don't fly in angle - for a well trimmed plane - use Manual or ACRO. I don't fly in angle.. Best of luck!
I rarely use manual mode, Acro is my way to go
It can depend on the model - the Drak is a dream in Manual too..
Thank you sir! AGAiN :-)
so do we launch in manual or acro? Initial tuning done in manual or acro? Thanks for the video, certainly answered some questions
Check out my latest iNav for beginners video series. I cover my maiden process at the end of every iNav build.. Happy flying

@@Painless360 Fantastic, thanks for your help!! Very kind!
were is the video that you show us why p should be off?
Google 'p gain painless360' :)
After a few flights then do you simply delete manual mode? Or is it always worth having manual mode there as a back up? I’m thinking keep it simple and the less modes the better!
I replace manual with ACRO myself. It depends on the model and how I want to fly... Happy flying!
Doesn't turning off P gain, essentially turn of any stabilization.
Nope - see my video on that... Happy flying!
Hey, I’m setting up a wing right now! How can I set up trims in inav? Is it just recommended to just use normal transmitter trims or will it kinda mess with inav?
Check out my iINAV for beginners 2020 series. I cover every single one of the steps in there. Including the do's and don'ts.
So basically to start with - you just need Manual and Acro modes selectable - together with a switch for trim and tuning.
Its confusing as Inav wiki doesn't realy say this.
I wouldn't have both set on a model. I fly a lot of manual.. See my iNav series..
You should NOT recommend ACRO. AIRMODE is the best option on a wing. It keeps the PIFF loop active if you lower the throttle.
As AIRMODE is permanently enabled by default in INAV, maybe you & Lee mean the same thing.
