Awesome series, I decided to purchase all the hardware and AR Mini Wing to give it a go.
I only had one issue and that was inability to connect to Mission Planner via the radio telemetry module, I would get the following error "no heartbeat packets received".
- Connecting to Mission Planner with an USB was no problem.
- The board in use in the Omnibus F4 Pro (v3) with the Omnibus 4.0.6 31-08-2019 selected and arduplane_with_bl.hex firmware flashed.
- The radio telemetry module load settings checkout which indicates they are communicating
- I triple checked the comm ports and baud rate setting,
After doing some digging around, it turns out some telemetry module Tx and Rx pins are not marked correctly, so I switched my configuration and everything now works as advertised.
Appreciate all the valuable content keep posting!

Really fantastic what Arduplane can do, Lee! And it's not something new, which is even more impressive!
Thanks a lot for the series! 😃

If your plane still show strong oscillations on the pitch axis try lowering the D term back to the original value of 0.04 or even lower. Autotune sometimes give nonconservative values of Pitch-D, which causes the oscillations that you show. On my wings (z84 and S800) I use 0.02 with good results. Awesome series of videos, congrats!

@5;30 was exactly the thing i have been dealing with I started to manually adjust to fix it but i think I have something else going on. Probable something basic I have overlooked, because the software was not able to correct it.
Love this series Thanks again.

I’m excited to see AutoLaunch come as a dedicated flight mode. It’s one of the things that keeps iNav on top of Ardu for me.

Fantastic video as always, quick one here, Please can you share GPS link the one you are using

I have this little beauty and nothing but problems on launch specifically pitch oscillations at pre cruise speeds. No dought the ARDU boys have this figured out.. All I can say is goodbye INAV although thank you so much for INAVS contribution

Hi, Great info buddy but to go of topic I wanted to ask about the Paramotor. I have been watching them video you did but you have not done a flight test yet ( How come ) I have been told it's a pig to fly and I wanted to know your thoughts before I picked one up.

What are those little clips you use to keep the canopy on?
Those would be great to keep the cover on mine from breaking the foam tabs that hold the front on during hard landings

Can the Mission Planner hidden menus, such as found by pressing "Ctrl f " be used with such a FC?

[muhammedbayram]

What if we try to fly plane with automode without making autotune, is this big problem ? (We dont have a pilot for autotune)

When performing AUTOTUNE, do you take off in FBWA mode, then switch to AUTOTUNE mode, perform pitch and roll operations 20 times or more, and land in AUTOTUNE mode as it is? Or do you want to switch to FBWA before landing?
