Development Log

  • 2022-06-14Jaynky drone plane camera mount
  • 2022-06-15Drone plane test flight 12.06.22 — the plane can only fly by stabilizer and doesn’t have dihedral , therefore it is inherently unstable such that wind or bad maneuvering may crash it. I think a problem is a too deep kfm step profile on which stalling occurs too easily and which is not efficient enough at the flightspeed also weak servos and small tail control surface cause unstable and sometimes unpredictable behaviour.
  • 2022-07-04DIY UAV FPV plane flight and crash 02.07.22 — after changing the Flightcontroller and improving wing airfoil, crash is still happening, probably the BEC of ESC has too few amperage to power flight controller + 4 control servos
  • 2022-07-26DIY UAV Plane flight in wind 26.07.21 — by strong wind the shaking issue of the plane got worse, but for the flight I managed to keep it up, however this plane crashes constantly due to oscillations. a reason may be the tail being too wobbly, cheap servos and lack of dihedral
