Striver mini VTOL 4+1 QuadPlane

[Hugotoccoli (Hugo)]

Me fue de ayuda! Muchas gracias.
Me podría ayudar con otra duda? Necesito saber si los alerones se pueden conectar ambos a la misma salida de la controladora?

HI thanks for the informative discussion on this forum. I have been flying a Believer using a pixhawk 2.1 and cube Black with a Here 2 GPS. I am looking to switch over to a VTOL system and am currently looking into the MFE Striver as I can use the 6S system from the Believer. Will the Pixhawk Cube Black be suitable for this? Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi…It should work. I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t. The black’s F4 processor has tons of power to run a VTOL model.

[Nick_Davis (Nicholas Davis)]

@sidajili Thanks for your response. Good to know that the cube black is such a capable machine.

I thought others might like to see my airspeed install for Striver Mini:

key features:

• a bit further along wing than others, so doesn’t interfere with arm folding
• recessed into foam instead of through foam, so it can be further out from the leading edge for less positional error from accelerated air on static port
• tubes are run along channels cut in the foam, then whole thing held with tape
• using CAN sensor (new Hitec DLVR airspeed sensor in this case)

The MFE team released a FMU v3 flight controller, you can learn more through the link below.

Lo normal es que así sea; los alerones van a la misma salida. Eventualmente pueden ir a canales indepedientes si se quere tener un control muy fino del alabelo.

Hi udamudam
I have fighter VTOL 4+1 Quadplane , and i have faced many issues about wiring diagram CUAV v5+ and parameters…
Please can you send me your wiring setup and parameters…

Still flying the Striver…
Changed radios and put a camera out near the wingtip to get a clear forward view.
Did a flight test today and forgot to turn the cameras on

Otherwise, stills fly solid. Maybe tomorrow get a camera check…

[mike_E (mike Eydenberg)]

Remembered to turn the wingcam on today!
Looks like it bounces a bit so next flight I’ll turn on the stabilization and see if it helps the video.
Uploaded a short video that shows the prop visible in quad mode. But after transition, it streamlined and stays out of the camera’s view (about 32 sec in you can see it disappear on the left side. Also left a minute of the landing transition to see it reappear into view.

took another flight w/the camera stabilization on … think it will be fine for watching the flight progression…

Tried to get a quick flight in this AM before the rain … didn’t make it …
Hit RTL. During the rough descent, you can see little streaks as if the camera was failing. Those are the rain drops that just became a downpour at touchdown.

I recommend one suitable for monitoring 4+1VTOL.

Hero VTOL 4+1 Fixed wing

Hi, guys This time, the MFE team brought you our new aerial test drone, the Hero VTOL. Here are some detailed information about the Hero. Hero VTOL Fixed wing Aircraft [1] The Hero VTOL is a multi-purpose vertical take-off and landing fixed wing. The unique design of the UAV nose can be replaced, which can be equipped with an orthophoto camera or a tilt camera when used in the field of surveying and mapping, and can be equipped with an optoelectronic pod in the field of monitoring. The mul…

Hi guys
I’m building a striver with a zr10 camera from siyi,
And the support for this camera is just present in the latest version of arduplane, can I use the param from @tridge for the pids or I should start from scratch ?

Thanks

[mike_E (mike Eydenberg)]

The Striver’s been a steady workhorse the last two years …
Did a test flight to check new battery configuration. Put a camera on top to see how it did. I think it’s still quite smooth in flight and transitions well. It helps to see the smoothness when the horizon is visible with the fuselage. Only nit I have is it always overshoots the landing zone a bit and reverses back to it during descent. But, as long it lands within 1/2 a meter from launch (which it does), that’s just fine.

Hello everyone

I have jsut received my strivermini 4+1 mode

Going to start building it

Had few questions
1- can I use 22000mah tattu battery instead of 16000mah because our payload is going to be A8 mini camera only

2- and is an airspeed sensor important ? I will be using two here3+ gps , I do have a digital airspeed sensor with me but the issue is the striver will be used at different temps ranging from 30c to -10C and then due to change in temp the airspeed sensor calibration would be required, so since I will be using dual gps can I avoid the airspeed sensor ??

Waiting for feedback’s thanks

[sauravhobyy (AirBus Pilot)]

Hi

So did you use the pids by @tridge or did you tune it ??

[juvinski]

I used the mfe parameters last file - But rith now is with error 404.
@makeflyeasy could you please check your website/doc site ?

[sauravhobyy (AirBus Pilot)]

Also did you use airspeed sensor ?

[juvinski]

Yes.
The airspeed in my case is very important once the vtol is used for a surveillance.
flying around 20 m/s speed.
