@@AerialWaviator I think I will build another one eventually like I said that bird was my first real iNav build and has many battle scars over the years. I was actually thinking of rebuilding it with a new body a few weeks ago. At least if I get another I know it will perform flawless from the maiden as I will always have the setup and configuration I used. I totally agree every flight your RTH and failsafe settings should be checked as per location flying. The smaller fx-84 plane is also a great bird!

I'd be interested to know too.

@@nellodude I never really tested it fully but best I did was just over 10km out with good signal on both 1.3 vtx and 915 elrs. I did just recently do a range test using the 5.8ghz alpha 10 watt vtx which I can’t upload due to legalities. It went out to 10km with good signal no breakup with stock aerials. I did a review on it while back called Akk Alpha Series. It’s a beast but not very efficient

@@stonesrcchannel Ok thanks I just thought the area might be bad for RF I have a spot in Vic where I have been out 70km but another that I struggle to get past 15 km (on 1.3 ghz with high gain antennas) I have never been past 11 km on 5.8 ghz and I was wanting to get Walksnail as well but am disappointed in your distance. I would recommend the TrueRC x2 air for the goggles but I really think you would get better range using a ground station receiver higher up than using goggles with the TrueRC X-Ray antenna but it depends on what you consider long range. The best advice I can give is to launch from a slightly higher location (even 3 meters higher than surrounds) Good luck mate.

@@nellodude I don’t think the area I fly is great for range as there is a quarry just behind the hill I fly from. I am now in need of a new spot as works have started where is fly. I do plan to get the x2 airs for the headset someday and I agree the ground station does have its benefits which I may even look into someday with antenna tracking. Thanks for the tips!

@@planet43 yes you know the area?

@@IanF-FPV yeah rth worked flawlessly it was the fact I had linear decent active and because of that RTH was on a gradual decent back home with the hill in between. It is a function in iNav I usually have turned off but in this case it was on.

@@Caroline_Tyler yeah I also use the backtrack 500m on all planes with linear decent switched off. This plane for some reason I missed that it was different from the others. Bad mistake on my behalf. Anyway time for a new build!! 🥳

@@PeterBrown-o4k It’s been a great setup for me. My only complaint is lack of range from the goggles which I have currently fixed using patch antennas. But other than that very happy with the Walksnail system. Thanks for watching.

@@ttucker2073 that's amazing awesome job! I'm not after record breaking speed just a craft that flies well and can do easy 200kph. But your Alpha is very impressive!

@@m3chanist sorry I’m not sure where your going with it, little confused 😕

@stonesrcchannel in the video, you talk about the byterate several times but what you are describing is the bitrate. They aren't the same thing. Bitrate, pronounced: bit rate. Byterate, pronounced: bite rate. You use the later while talking about the former.

@@m3chanist oh I see yeah mis pronunciation with the word my mistake but I’m sure people will understand what I’m taking about.

@@stonesrcchannel No worries, great flying by the way, looking forward to doing some myself when the weather improves here in NZ

@@landlocked4771 it's going HD system for its next upgrade. But yeah it's not a bad picture at all for analog.

@@sarangmixtv8757 I'm happy with it so far 176kph is still fast but next video hopefully faster close to my goal of 200kph

@@stonesrcchannel wow,,almost there brothe,,24kph more,,lettss gooowww..👍👍👍,,you can do it brother..

It lands very fast as well, doesn't the landing damage the model?

@@narenana the ground is pretty soft no damage. Alpha Strike gets unstable under about 50kph

@@narenana yes most definitely I have never set that up yet but I have thought about doing it on my long range planes.

I have been doing autolandings on my sky surfer last few weeks and not been able to get the absolute right parameters. The touch down gets missed by about 10-50 feet on each attempt. But thrilled to see your build. There is so much space to place all the electronics and you have done a very neat wiring job!

@@narenana thanks 👍

@@QuadographyAustralia1965 You only need to hold the boot button in when wishing to update the firmware. That puts the flight controller into DFU mode for updating FC. Just normal connect for setup or tuning etc only need the FC to be plugged in via USB. Thanks for the comment any help just ask.

@@stonesrcchannel Thanks for that and the quickest reply ever, that's what I thought, but confusion set in. I'm just waiting for a T1 Ranger Twin motors, I don't want differential thrust, so hopefully I set it up properly. Cheers mate.

@@QuadographyAustralia1965 Good luck that. Personally I would try the differential thrust just my opinion as it helps turning. I was planning on a twin motor build someday using differential thrust. Good luck hope all goes well with it.

@@iamsoulcandy Thanks for watching I will see what I can do regarding this. Obviously to just copy everything from cli is not really recommended unless you are using the exact same plane and all hardware included weight would also need to be very close just to copy all settings. Saying this copying OSD and other basic setup should not be a problem. Do you fly an fx61?

Heres the OSD setup i use on it although now it runs a Walksnail Avatar HD FPV system now so these most probably will not work if your running any analog FPV system. I'll also do a video of the full setup on this plane and how its setup in INAV. # OSD [osd_layout] osd_layout 0 0 44 1 V osd_layout 0 1 1 10 H osd_layout 0 3 8 6 V osd_layout 0 6 1 4 H osd_layout 0 7 1 2 V osd_layout 0 8 24 1 V osd_layout 0 9 1 2 H osd_layout 0 11 1 16 V osd_layout 0 12 2 8 H osd_layout 0 13 48 8 V osd_layout 0 14 1 1 V osd_layout 0 15 47 7 V osd_layout 0 19 1 17 V osd_layout 0 20 42 17 V osd_layout 0 21 42 16 V osd_layout 0 22 26 3 V osd_layout 0 23 24 2 V osd_layout 0 25 51 10 H osd_layout 0 27 47 9 V osd_layout 0 28 1 4 V osd_layout 0 30 13 8 V osd_layout 0 31 1 2 H osd_layout 0 32 1 12 H osd_layout 0 33 47 4 V osd_layout 0 34 11 1 H osd_layout 0 35 1 11 V osd_layout 0 37 1 12 H osd_layout 0 38 1 9 V osd_layout 0 40 1 5 V osd_layout 0 48 1 6 H osd_layout 0 49 1 6 H osd_layout 0 54 1 10 V osd_layout 0 99 19 2 H osd_layout 0 108 9 2 H osd_layout 0 110 48 1 V osd_layout 0 124 25 7 H osd_layout 0 129 10 4 H osd_layout 1 0 26 1 V osd_layout 1 1 1 11 V osd_layout 1 3 8 6 V osd_layout 1 7 2 2 H osd_layout 1 11 1 13 V osd_layout 1 12 0 14 V osd_layout 1 13 25 3 V osd_layout 1 14 1 1 V osd_layout 1 15 25 5 V osd_layout 1 19 2 7 H osd_layout 1 20 19 14 V osd_layout 1 21 19 13 V osd_layout 1 22 12 1 V osd_layout 1 23 13 1 V osd_layout 1 27 24 4 V osd_layout 1 28 23 14 H osd_layout 1 30 1 7 V osd_layout 1 31 1 2 V osd_layout 1 32 1 10 V osd_layout 1 33 24 2 V osd_layout 1 34 11 1 H osd_layout 1 35 1 12 V osd_layout 1 37 1 8 H osd_layout 1 38 1 9 V osd_layout 1 40 24 6 V osd_layout 1 48 1 4 H osd_layout 1 49 1 3 H osd_layout 1 86 1 3 V osd_layout 1 87 1 4 V osd_layout 1 96 25 5 H osd_layout 1 106 2 3 H osd_layout 1 107 1 2 V osd_layout 2 1 2 12 H osd_layout 2 3 8 6 V osd_layout 2 7 25 1 V osd_layout 2 16 1 2 V osd_layout 2 17 1 3 V osd_layout 2 20 19 11 V osd_layout 2 21 19 12 V osd_layout 2 22 14 6 V osd_layout 2 30 1 9 V osd_layout 2 33 24 6 V osd_layout 2 56 1 4 V osd_layout 2 62 2 2 H osd_layout 2 63 2 3 H osd_layout 3 1 1 10 H osd_layout 3 3 8 6 V osd_layout 3 8 9 1 V osd_layout 3 11 25 5 V osd_layout 3 13 25 1 V osd_layout 3 14 1 1 V osd_layout 3 15 24 3 V osd_layout 3 19 25 6 V osd_layout 3 20 19 12 V osd_layout 3 21 1 12 V osd_layout 3 25 28 5 H osd_layout 3 27 24 2 V osd_layout 3 28 23 7 V osd_layout 3 30 1 10 V osd_layout 3 33 18 1 V osd_layout 3 37 1 11 H osd_layout 3 38 1 5 V osd_layout 3 40 1 3 V osd_layout 3 54 1 6 V osd_layout 3 129 10 3 V

Its important not to turn off the goggles while updating as it can brick the system. It sounds like what you have done. My best advise would be to try reinstall the firmware again using the step in the video and if that won't work you may need to contact caddx to see if there is a solution to unbricking it. You could also ask on the Walksnail or Caddx facebook page as they seem quite helpful too. Best of luck i hope you can get it resolved. Please let me know it reinstall fixes it or not.

I unplug the vtx during update then I just start update procedure again and everything works.

@@Indonesia01ian Hi I am not entirely sure exactly what the issue is but I would assume that what you are seeing is normal as long as you have made no modifications to the board. Have you tried to contact speedybee they might be more helpful.

@@Indonesia01ian Have you calibrated your esc? If throttle is working in iNav check the signal wire is correct on the esc. Issue may be somewhere there.

Yes that’s right I forgot about that page. I can open it but won’t let me download anything for some reason. I have tried everything on my devices to download but I have but never been able to download anything. So I’m not sure what’s going on there.

know

So sorry for late reply hopefully you have it worked out by now. Sounds like you may not have the wiring correct from the reciever to pixhawk. Make sure the tx is going the rx and rx to tx from reciever to pixhawk. Mine is setup on serial 4.

@@PiDsPagePrototypes I think the FC would work well on most planes but if going larger wingspan I would only recommend the 1s lite for tight builds like the drift. I would suggest the moonlight camera , avatar gt longer range or v2 pro best cameras although most expensive than the 1s lite.

@@stonesrcchannel The Opterra does have enough room for the larger version of the SpeedyBee F405 Wing, the Moonlight kit is on my list - I absolutely want clean onboard 4K recording to SD card. I have HD02's already, and the Walksnail VRx will clip on those, I don't need the high frame rate for what I want, duration and a quiet prop are more useful for me. Looks like a lot of retailers don't have the VRx + Moonlight kit in stock at the moment, but do have the VRx + 1s Lite, so I might end up with the 1s in the nose, and a Moonlight in a belly-turret style gimbal housing. Do you know if there a way to set one of the spare switches on the controller to adjust the video transmitters output level? 25mW is perfect for the local club flights, but there's some areas where the signal drops out, and it'd be great to be able to flick a switch and get higher power when needed.

@@PiDsPagePrototypes I have thought about that exact same setup for the VTX power but have not found anything just yet that suggests it can be done just yet. I don't see why it can't be setup to a switch or even set as dynamic power, a bit like elrs dynamic power works, that would be great.

@@PiDsPagePrototypes I have heard this too although when I check the CG it definitely flies best a little nose heavy indeed.

@@QuadographyAustralia1965 it's tight but works well. Thanks for watching ,👍

The Kopilot just fits, works as advertised. BNF version inc camera is good 'My First Wing'

@@meareAaron Are you holding in the boot button on the USB extender while connecting it? If you are it sounds like a driver issue. Download the latest STM driver and see if it fixes it.

@@stonesrcchannel yep i was holding it before connecting usb but all it would do was just change to a different wireless mode and the led changes colors instead of connecting to inav thanks ill try the stm driver when i do find it

@@meareAaron or try using “impulse rc driver fixer” that has helped me quite a few times to get them into dfu mode to flash.

@@stonesrcchannel ok thankyou 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@m14srv yes indeed!

@@Gowieee cheers mate thank for the comment. I'm currently looking at the true RC X2 patches for it. I will retest when I get them to show the difference.

@@stonesrcchannel that’ll be interesting for sure. We need more Goggle X content. I see Caddx have “solved” all issues in their most recent post. I wonder what that will look like.

@@Gowieee also I'm keen to get this new Avatar gt 2watts VTX they just released.

Awesome thanks for your input that’s great to hear. I’m certainly going to upgrade the RX antennas soon, then I will do another test.

I have a couple of True RC X2 aerials coming I heard they go into the bottom connectors? I’m not sure regarding the retransmits though as to which one that is. I should use another patch antenna on this one to? Thanks for the help.

@@stonesrcchannel on the goggle x the transmit antenna is top left (on your head for reference). Both WS and DJI will ask to have packets retransmitted if the packet is lost or interrupted. If you only use an omni and are try to fly far your re-trasmit antenna will limit you if it needs to ask to rebroad cast packets. A patch that focus the signal will be helpful. Mad's vid explains some of this ruclips.net/video/8Wa_XjQBKqs/видео.html

@ShermanKenB awesome thanks for the help

Hi and thanks for the comment, I do hope once i upgrade the aerials it will improve considerably although i can't see it being as good as my 1.3g systems. I did originally buy the GoggleX for the analog and to keep the long range 1.3g setup, but now flying HD, i think all my planes will be eventually upgraded to HD.

@@stonesrcchannel Hmmm, I was going to purchase the exact same camera/VTX combo that you're using, but now I'll just get the goggles and wait for the new range to be released in a couple of months. It's supposed to have 4 times the range, but we are at the pre-product release hype stage so we'll see how that all goes when released. Thanks again, you really helped me with my purchase decision.

@@FixedWing Oh thats good to hear i haven't heard anything regarding range increase as yet so fingers crossed for that. I feel the walksnail system has heaps to improve i hope they keep going the way they have been so far although i it has been a shame they seemed to release the goggle x a bit soon which is why they have copped a bit of bad reports. In saying that i have had nothing to complain about i ungraded the heatsink and run the latest firmware and everything works well. Like i said in the video my only disappointment is the range but i'm sure that will improve as i upgrade the aerials and better products are released in the future.

By the way i have just tested a long range analog vtx from AKK Tech which was sent to me. Its the alpha 10 watt vtx and i just did a range test with that on stock aerials it reach 8.3km with no drop out, unreal vtx shame its not HD. I did a review on it a few videos ago.

Some wind when the plane shakes

Yes bro its a good plane and even better now it has HD camera. The new camera makes it much clearer to fly with.

I was surprised it did 155 kph

I’ve had 211mph out mine. It’s on my channel. 6s lipo

I also do a vertical launch. Directly strait up. 👊🏻

@@ttucker2073 wow that's amazing

Yes I now have it setup on 3s. Seemed a little unclear to me regarding the v1 and v2 as It seemed the v2 could run more than 5v but to avoid risking it I set it up on 5v to begin with which I have now changed. Thanks for confirming!

my 2nd flite she caught fire on 3s

It does overheat if left too long without airflow but once in the air it’s fine. I have flown many flights 20-30 mins without any issues so far. I was thinking overheating issues would be a thing during the build but so far have had none.
