Good evening,
Today i found some time and i have done 3 flights with the X5 wing.The weight of the plane was 1.15 kg and i used a 2200mah 3s battery.
For each battery i had 15 min of flight in autopilot mode- throttle 45% and when i have used around 1600-1700mah from each battery.
Since the last flights i have moved the CG with 2.5 cm in front of the 2 points marked on the wing and i have trimmed the elevons 5mm up. With these changes i can say that it is much more easy to fly it. I have used the last firmware version for Gluonpilot V2 - 10.4.
Even if in the picture you there are 2 batteries in the same time on the wing, i have used them in rotation , one at a time, the other one was used as dummy weight ( together with 100gr lead).
Some questions :
1. Below there is a survey flight ,it can be observed that due to the wind ,the wing is not getting very fast to the planned track, what i must change from the PID to be faster on the track - a faster correction (now i have the default values for PID)?
2. It can be adjusted somehow the trail lenght (the real pattern flown bythe plane)? Maybe it can be inserted an option under the File menu with the time to be selected ( 5 seconds..30 seconds), now it is around 4 minutes.
3. While building the survey flightplan it will be very interesting to know the area covered by the flightplan, total lenght of the flightplan ( this value could be written while building the survey polygon on the blurred surface, before build route sequence.
I have attached the logs, if you want i can upload also the KML files.
Next steps:
1. make more flights with the actual configuration- reconfirm the flight results from today;
2. add the Canon camera on the x5 wing.
Thank you,
Alex
