Hi guys,

I’m new to VTOL. And I’m interested in Heewing T1 VTOL.

Is there any suggested hardware configurations?

I’ve got the Matek F405-VTOL for mine. My build is only partly finished because life has got in the way, but seems like a good choice so far.

I’ve been using SpeedyBee F405Wing and BZGNSS BZ-251 GPS. Have over 50 flights already. Still learning and tweaking ardupilot tunes.

T1 Ranger PNP-VTOL Conversion Kit suggests MatekF405-Wing and SN Fast Controller.

Is there any modification needed for flight Speedybee F405Wing?

BTW, what version (ardupilot) are you using for flights?

You need to use the 2 ESCs from the PNP kit along with the 1 ESC from conversion kit. I had bare kits without any ESC so I bough them separately.

Speedywing power distribution board does not have 4 ESC power pads like the Matek F405VTOL. All I had to do was solder 2 ESCs to one pad which was not an issue. No modifications needed. Running Arduplane 4.5.0Dev.

I recently tried a DIY drone, HEQ SWAN K1 PRO PNP this drone has VTOL function, also provides flight control and GPS, and it only sells for $399. If you are interested, you can also check it out
