X8 wing - Lots of redundancy :)

[Miles]

So I've been building an X8 wing for a little while now, tried to make everything redundant where possible, as I want to send this up with a Fuel Cell at some point.

Initially, it will be fitted with:
2 9KG Etronix ET092 metal gear servos
80A Turnigy AE ESC
8A Redundant BEC
Eagle tree OSD Pro, Elogger V4, GPS
OpenLRS RX
2 3300MAH 4s Lipo
3000MAH 2s Lipo (BEC)
GoPro and KX171
660KV Turnigy SK3 5045 motor (Overkill, but nice motor :) )
14X8 folding prop
Alloy horns etc used wherever possible
2.4ghz VTX

Planning to install:
ETS Airspeed, altimeter and guardian IMU
Ardupilot
Second RX

Have built a massive slingshot to launch it, but also want to be able to bungee, so am fitting a hook below.

Finished:

Also maidened it, flew great until brown out and hit the deck

Well it did look nice :) But it will again after a bit of TLC

[Miles]

It will. winglet back on, and removed the front section. Going to vac form it for an internal GoPro :)





Also pulled the data from the Elogger, so cruise at around 9 A :)

I feel your pain, having just been there myself...

That`s a funny graphical representation of events :)

As a beginner in all this, I have to say this is an impressive array of gear! I think this will have to remain aspirational for me for quite a long time:

2 9KG Etronix ET092 metal gear servos
80A Turnigy AE ESC
8A Redundant BEC
Eagle tree OSD Pro, Elogger V4, GPS
OpenLRS RX
2 3300MAH 4s Lipo
3000MAH 2s Lipo (BEC)
GoPro and KX171
660KV Turnigy SK3 5045 motor (Overkill, but nice motor )
14X8 folding prop
Alloy horns etc used wherever possible
2.4ghz VTX

Planning to install:
ETS Airspeed, altimeter and guardian IMU
Ardupilot

Yup steve, that glides a lot better than my old Ez* :P Made me feel a lot better drawing it hehe.

And cheers paul, several years of accumulation and nicking bits from various aircraft :P And getting it all to work will be, interesting... :) But OpenLRSNG now supports diversity, so will be taking a look at that at some point :)
