"Final" version of this 3D Printed V-Tail FPV wing
Finally happy with how my new plane, the VENOM, flies so I'm ready to share some pictures of the validated prototype.
This aircraft has been through several different aerodynamic configurations, and with so many systems interacting with each other, it's been a real challenge to isolate and understand the effects of each one.
After several iterations, I've finally arrived at a configuration that delivers what I originally wanted from this project. I'm really starting to see the potential of this airframe emerge, and I'm excited to keep pushing its development as I continue flying it.
Current configuration:
Twin 1103 motors with HQ T3×2 props
2S 1000mAh Flywoo LiHV battery
DJI O4 Wide
Matek F405-Wing WMO flight controller
Four 4.3g servos controlling elevons and V-tail ruddervators
249g
Approximately 7 minutes of mixed flight time
The flight characteristics are now really promising. Coordinated turns are easy to achieve, control authority feels good, and the aircraft is finally behaving the way I'd hoped.
There's still plenty to explore and refine, but I'm now at a point where I'm happy to start preparing VENOM for release.
Looking forward to sharing it with you guys soon, along with more flight footage over the coming weeks!
