That's really nice of you to offer

I'll check how it balances out with the batts in place and all finished and let you know.

thanks again.

Just order mfd autopilot. Is it work with arduplane like apm? And can configure parameters in arduplane or in osd screen? IPEE can you send me your PID gains? And what els i should know. Any advice?

It doesn't use APM code, it's proprietary firmware from MFD but it can take waypoints from mission planner, not config though. Everything is configured through the OSD with the joystick.

The default PIDs are better than taking anyone else's as servos, the position of the control horns and too many other variables make using someone else's PIDs not a good idea. Besides, my AP is not accessible at the moment:

I think I ran out of talent! It went down at Mad Dogs, along with half of my fleet:

I wonder if that's one downside of having the centre pods, the Venturi doesn't seem to handle unexpected landings as much as a solid foam wing?

I am on stage to glue fiber rod in to the wing. So i have question if you have crash and midle section need to be change. How you take out old rods to instal new. I would like to use gorilla white glue to make strong bond but that rod will stay for ever in that wing.

I went in at 60 MPH, pretty sure a foam wing wouldn't survive a front end impact like that.

Force = Mass x Acceleration or deceleration in this case.

FPV wings do suffer more than LOS wings as they tend to have higher wing loading, mainly due to the insane batteries we put in them and all the
other clobber.

All AP's should come with a G meter , would be interesting :-()

We can also provide all parts to our range , so the models are repairable.

Ipeel is the "Crash test Dummy" for Flyingwings

I only tack my tubes in with UHU por, you only need a bead of glue then twist the tube to smear it around.

The force is up and down not lateral, ie the wing is unlikely to slide off.

Agreed it will be a pain to get the tube spar out of the wing, but not impossible like this, it won't come out cleanly, but that does not matter.

Hope that helps
