FreeWing F-14 64mm V2 + ArduPlane 4.6.3

ArduPlane Plane 4.6

Hi all!

I got FreeWing F-14 64mm V2.
I set Pixhawk6C mini + M8N and Plane 4.6.3.
The GPS was touching a small part of the underside of the canopy, so I shaved off a little bit of that area. No other modifications were needed for mounting the FC or similar.

It can fly for about 4 minutes with a 6-cell 5200mAh battery.
Attitude control works well by default setting.
I’ve set the roll angle limit in FBWA to 60 degrees.

I’ll try the autopilot from takeoff to landing sometime soon.
For landing, if you don’t keep the descent rate low, it bounces around.

I think it’s a fairly easy-to-fly ducted airplane.

Very nice!

It looks great, you could probably even implement wing sweep program :smiley: if the actuator isn’t limited to two positions.

Looks like standard servos for the wing sweep. That would be cool.

Next, I’ll install an airspeed sensor and try to make it sweep according to the speed.

Yes, they are regular servos.

There was an example where it was linked to the throttle in the mixing of a radio control transmitter.

I set the roll angle limit to 60 degrees.
I haven’t changed any other parameters.

Flight1 : Sweep wing

Flight2 : Full Flap Landing

The aircraft sometimes tilts to the side while flying.
Do I need to adjust the attitude control parameters?

In the current setup, when the stick is in the neutral position and the aircraft is in level flight, it may suddenly tilt around the roll axis.
