Just a quick note: when I'm talking about CIRCLE mode at the end I mean LOITER mode. That's the one that uses the GPS.. Thanks to those who spotted that..

Video still very handy. I don't know about you, but air reckon I have built around 15 planes and copters over the years with ardupilot, I still run into things I can't work out and videos like yours save the day (like it did today). Thanks.

[smittythedevildog]

Lee you are a true champion! Thank you!

[pathmanathanmohanathas]

Learned quite a lot. Love from toronto

[Rhoedision]

Very nice..looks great and most def...looks great

[SamStack]

Auto trim tip is awesome. I haven't played with that yet.

[glikar]

Great video series, thanks. The Nano Talon sure has a short tail coupling to the wing. Guess it doesn't matter much on something so lite weight.

[brianmurima]

Great Video. I'm following the whole series. Can you kindly provide the link to the video of "mechanically setting up the frame"

[AndreiGuevorkian]

Do you have a video on how you get/make the body of the plane?

[ytchannel]

hey plz help me out,
i need to reverse the alierons and rudder on my plane but in this page at 8:10 (servo output), i am not able to change any values or reverse them..the alierons and rudder r moving in the wrong direction

[BestGorony]

Can you tell me please about aileron servo connection to the autopilot ? Must I connect both aileron servos to one channel? At this situation both ailerons have same direction.

[vincentpunabantu]

Thank you for the great video, quick question for the aileron and tail servos, when testing if they work does the cube have to be armed?

[karthikprakashsivakumar]

Everything works in my mission planner till 9:03, it recognizes my Transmitter movement on laptop. But zero response on motor and servo as ESC keeps on beeping. Any suggestions?

[skyhighperceptions]

Hello painless great video as always. Your knowledge is amazing. I am building a bixler with VTOL and I was wondering if you have the set up for a tri vtol? I got all motors and servos in place and I am on the installing the pixhawk on the aircraft and I haven't don't this in a while. Thanks H

[sujoyan]

Thanks for the awesome videos! I have got into this for two weeks and am super excited about all the new knowledge that I am gaining here. I am planning to incorporate this knowledge with my programming skills and build real-life problem-solving builds. Although the general steps are clear, can you please give the list of all the equipment used for this build, including the battery used? This is going to be my first build and I would have to wait a long time for all the parts to arrive, so I want to be as accurate as possible. Thank you very much!

[ShubhamThakur-lquc]

I just love your work. Where can I find link for the video to make plane mechanically correct? Thank you very much

what battery do i need for the pixhawk px4 with a 950kv brushless motor?

[ameto]

9:05 : when I connect battery to my nano talon for the first time, the motor beeps continuously with a 1 sec interval.

All RC input responses are seen in mission planner but no motor or servo is moving. Just beep sounds in motor.

Any suggestions
