ZOHD Kopilot Lite FPV Cub Test

A bit of information on the ZOHD Kopilot Lite and my test flight.

Get it from Banggood when it is on offer.

One year later, and still waiting on that take off and landing fpv flight sir ;o)

That's such a cool little plane for that! I bought an Eachine Razor, which has a model specific version of the ZOHD hardware in it. Flying a plane FPV is such a different experience from flying a quad. Very fun! I ended up buying two full Kopilot kits, I put one in a wing (Banggood Aggressor) and have another for a sailplane. Looking forward to seeing your FPV take-off and landing attempts!

Loved scale fpv!
Very nice setup and flight!

I have a couple of these ZOHD Kopilot units. Love their simplicity

i was only viewing this earlier on today... Then up pops your notification! Cheers fella for the insight

You have the perfect set up on that plane, that is exactly what I have been wanting to do, I just dont yet have the plane capable yet. I have the Kopilot and love it. As someone who is newer to the hobby is has helped me immensely. It was affordable which is really important, but it really helped me build up my confidence while learning, saved me many many times.

yet again another brill vid cheers Joh

Have been using copilot for a while great help with flying but you don't need the autolaunch with wheels... nice video

[cowboyfpv]

I've wanted to get one of these for my wing 💪💪💪✌️

[jeffreygalang]

nice i like to have this zohd coz i like flying fpv too

[PiDsPagePrototypes]

RTH, PLUS!! full throtle, then toss.
Can't seem to find a way to set the RTH altitude though.

Kudos for flying from inside the cockpit FPV.
Self level mode will definitely reduce pilot workload..I guess they made too many of these and are struggling to offload them.
Horse for courses, as we say down here in the

I love these ZOHD kopilots. I put them in wings like ARO PRO and Mini see how they fly before investing time and money in more expensive gear for flight controllers, vtxs, cameras, etc. Also tossed them gliders and Volantex Rangers. Not having so much luck with the volantex Trainstar Ascent. I wonder if I am getting the level calibration wrong on this plane. Level for these cub style planes with landing gear is done with the plane setting on the landing gear touching the ground or is done with the belly level with the ground?

Hi absolutely brilliant video .... your composition and content is first rate ... Love this subject ... not idea what I will do with it yet but have ordered a ZOHD You should also be in sales The onboard footage is totally off the scale brilliant ... just like being in the cockpit .. Can you give more details of the FPV gear you used please???? I want to understand how you could pan and move the camera please ???? Stunning video .. totally inspiring!!
Thanks ..Mike

Nice video. Can kopilot support flaps on a 4 channel fixed wing?

Hello, I am doing well with that controller, one question, when I raise the plane to 300 meters and I put RTH the plane returns but it lowers the programmed by the manufacturer a lot, what would happen if we put the elevator directly to the receiver without connecting it to the controller card? Do you think it maintains the height at which it was flying?

[theoztreecrasher]

These things work well but have a couple of "Gotchas!"
To ensure settings are retained if you want to remove the settings board, you MUST remove it BEFORE powering off! (Chinese sense of humour???)
The Kopilot is a SLOOOWW thinker and the long boot-up time is seen by some ESCs as a loss of signal and they shut down and require a power cycle to reactivate. If, after 20seconds, your unit just sits there beeping in Manual try a different ESC. (ZOHD ESCs are always good - others a crapshoot!)
The Kopilot controls the throttle level to maintain level flight in RTH, BUT!!! If the throttle is hard down when RTH is selected (as maybe a glider in a thermal might be) the motor WILL NOT kick off regardless of forward speed! Same as for Autolaunch - throttle must be above 0.
As with ALL STABILIZER UNITS, there is a finite limit to how much vibration under which the gyros/accelerometers will function correctly. If your prop/motor combo is buzzing, FIX IT - or watch your pride and joy (which may have flown perfectly many times previously) get stuffed into the ground! 😜🙄
Oh and 1 more. Failsafe RTH on signal loss DOES NOT latch in as on most quads. So as your plane heads back towards home and you regain signal the Kopilot will switch back to the Tx-selected Mode. If "Manual" be ready for it!
