Got some issues with the Bixler but after analysis... the crash was not related to the product. The crash was related to obstruction of a aileron servo. See the great short vids regarding linkages by Chad and David and I left a comment
My 2nd Bixler is almost ready to be maiden.
The config:
- Bixler stock motor with(Master Air Screw 3 blades 6x4 pusher prop)
- 35 Amps ESC (2Amps BEC)
- Turnigy 2.6 (will be located closely under the wing for CG)
- 3DR Bixler chassis (for APM, Radio Tx, AirSpeed sensor)
- Go Pro (located just fwd the canopy, othewise blocking GPS antenna). CG corrected by pushing back Lipos far back... uneder the wing.
- APM2 (3DR AutoPilot)
- 3DR XBee Telemetry (APM2 Mavelink) Tx 900Mhz
- Immersion RC 5.8 Ghz 600 mw Audio/VideoTx
- 3DR MinimOSD (display MaveLink)
- Radio gear Spektrum DX8/AR8000 receiver.
Ground Station:
- Fatshark Dominator (5.8 audio/video Rx) connected to Sony DRV-38 tape DVR... I'm not doing real FPV at this time... using the OSD+Vids infos for flight analysis.
- Xbee USB 900Mhz adapter (Telemetry)
- Ground station Software: Michael Oborne's master piece: Mission Planner.
And of course I ordered and receive by HK, 2 Bicler kits so I can break some bones during this summer... Summer is quite short in Canada.
