BiCopter / DualCopter - Just flying it 😎

Bicopter / Dualcopter running a modified version of my PlainFlight open source flight controller software. Modifications are... Bicopter servo/motor mixers, idle up throttle upon arming and low battery monitoring LEDs.

Brief details:
Emax 5g metal gear servos running at 300Hz
Super cheap AliExpress BL motors with 4" folding props
20A Littlebee BLHeli ESC's running Oneshot125 at 2KHz.
2s 1100mAh LiHv
Flight times of 16 minutes achieved, should get ~20 with new condition cells.

PlainFlight V1.1 will be released soon with some upgraded and additional features :-)

That looks like a great flying site, are you up on the plain there? I used to live near Pewsey and I rather thought it had that vibe. I am slightly cursing you as its more and more likely that I will have a go at building your controller. Great work, well done.

So cool. How different is the flight feel to a quad of same size?

Very nice. I checked manual for fc. Can I use serial receiver instead of sbus ?

[peerapongsudthikol]

I want to do too. Please share your bicopter code.

The default setting seems to be that the flat face of the rectangular body faces forward perhaps causing high drag. Can the firmware be modified such that it is the thin edge of the rectangle that faces forward? Would be interesting to see the top speed in that case.
