I have watched so many of these set up vids trying to figure out what to do to set up and fly my first plane. This is the first vid that has left me with a sense of hope that I may be able to make more then a first and last flight all in the same moment. Everyone wish my dart sub250 good luck. Thank you Mr. Newton. 62 years old and ready for my new adventure.

Several videos on the kopilot but until I came across yours could not succeed. Now working /flying GREAT.
GREAT WORK and thumbs thumbs thumbs UP!!!

Prob the best money spent on a stabiliser. RECOMMEND. Went from crashing every 5 mins to not crashing at all. Can't learn to fly if you break something every 5 mins. Get a bit loose just flick the switch and go again. Brilliant

That launch assist would do wonders for my ego. I'd look like I know what I'm doing !

[igeekwu]

finally someone who does not assume anything for his viewers and takes it step by step! i have been flying drones for years but have had so much trouble setting this kopilot system correct! thanks so much andrew! nice video good info!!

[amazingvidguyz]

great to see the launch mode, was wondering if throttle was needed, im glad you tried it . thanks for all the videos ! a real help to anyone trying to build a model

[socalives]

I like this autopilot system, especially the RTH launch and auto throttle power up when, throwing the plane on take off . Another very helpful review ! Thank you Andrew !

[papamidnightfpv]

Oh boy you're braver than me. Everything works with my kopilot but I haven't done fence mode yet and I haven't turned off my radio. It has saved my butt so many times. I just did my first rolls today with no assist. And loops. I lose video when I'm upside down.

[JJZorro]

I am about to install the kopilot in my ZOHD Dart Extreme. I had a few questions after reading the manual and you have answered all of them. Thanks.

[QuadographyAustralia]

Of course you have done a set up video for this! Excellent as well! Cheers Andrew.

I'm using Radix Brain Flight Controller and Black Sheep GPS if I knew this was out I would have bought it before my flight controller,
This looks much easier than my setup !
But now tempted to buy this on another Wing build.

Hi Andrew,
Great videos on the Kopilot. I have one successful model using it. By accident I learned my “lowly” Orange R615X receiver’s default Failsafe setting is the “Preset” mode..! Thus, when setting up the Rx failsafe to RTH mode, the low cost 615X handles the return to home perfectly. Cheers....

Awesome tutorial Andrew. Thanks for taking the time to explain this so clearly. Much appreciated

[jjutube]

Andrew, very nice review indeed. Couple of points that are worth noting. 1) As with most stabs of this kind you do not need to use a Y lead on the ailerons. You can use (say) channel 5 or 6 direct from the receiver for the second aileron. The KoPilot will only stabilise one aileron but this is perfectly adequate for most models. I have used it with other stabs which do not have internal mixing for dual ailerons. It also works with my Kopilot. 2) I'm sure the 70ft RTH height is not AGL but Above launch point height. There is no way the Kopilot can allow for changes in ground level without a radio altimeter or internal terrain map so you might run into trouble if you expect it to work in hilly terrain. John

Greetings from Shetland again Andrew, thanks for that video. Sorely tempted to get a fixed wing again. I used to have an ardupilot setup but this is soo much simpler, cheaper and smaller. Really appreciate the walkthrough.

[AndrewSmith-ydvy]

Hi Andrew, I have a kopilot and was having trouble working it out, so thanks again for taking the time to do the video as it has helped me to get it sorted, good one mate, Andy Smith...

[joenaylor]

I wound up setting the gain for the elevator at the maximum and the aileron gain about half and the stabilizer works perfectly.

Great Video!!! I have just installed this in my FPV Scout Plane and am Excited about getting it in the air. This video Inspired even more.!!!!
