V-22 Osprey Project - First Flight Pre-Checks
I had to take a few weeks away from this project while we moved to a new house, but I'm back at it and nearing first flight of the prototype. I've built a little power distribution board to connect the power for servos, Arduino, and flight controller. All of the electronic components I'm using are stuff I had lying around and are definitely not what I'll use on the final aircraft. For now, I'm using: FLIP32 + AIO flight controller running iNAV and NAZE firmware Arduino Mega 12 Amp ESC The all-up weight at this time is 418 grams. For comparison, the original Blade MCPx BL (without battery) weighed in at 48 grams. I have serious doubts this will actually fly at all in the current configuration. Before any first flight, I need to verify the throws on all the cyclic servos so they match positive and negative travel. The flight controller should take care of small differences, but it's best to start off as neutral as possible. I'm alr
