guys i have an old 4-channel twin blade heli collecting dust(long time no play, the heli itself is not balance anymore) thinking of converting it to delta plane diy. any advice? i watched youtube videos seems rike simple, just not sure how the servo configuration goes tho..any consideration before i start

how to convert heli to plane ?
maybe u can use some part on your heli like servo, ESC, motor and battery.
but it totally different la from heli

delta wing (i guess this what u want to build) use 2 servo (u need use same model servo), esc and motor.
depend on your motor KV, u have to choose small propeller

basically, 2 servo as elevon.. aileron + elevator.. but den i need v-tail mixer for the configuration. as for receiver..i think any 3 channel receiver would do. my 4 in 1 receiver has esc for 2 motors..another 2 for for aileron and rudder rclxms.gif

I dont think u can use v-tail mix because vtail is elevator + rudder mix while elevon is aileron + elevator mix
In tx also rudder, elevator and aileron use different channel
3 channel is enough
What tx u use?
Im use futaba 8fg, my tx have preset for elevon mix

li-ion is 3.7v nominal. alkaline is 1.5v nominal. they are not the same. depends on what the transmitter required. general rule, more voltage than required = boom!. shocking.gif

the reason i got this idea is because the controller got 1 usb port which able to charge up the helicopter..

im thinking if im using bigger mah battery on the controller, then im able to charge the helicopter more...

but, dono isit workable.. laugh.gif

that would mean it needs 3.7v(4.2v max). the controller is probably using a 1 cell lipo. li-ion(any size) works as well. you can get either lipo or li-ion as long as you can figure out how to connect it. please note the discharge current output from the controller though. your new batt must be able to provide the same or more. else, the charging cycle will be slower. shouldn't be a problem with cheap lipos, but cheap li-ion can really be wonky. rclxub.gif

so your phantom actually have video feed in dji-vision? not like many others who were screwed by dji updates?

i've tried litchi, it doesn't allow you to control the gimbal. at least i can find that function rclxub.gif . also, i think litchi consumes more battery.

Anyone still flying their planes?
Back to enjoying traditional line of sight flying. Relax from drone flying a bit. Just flipping ninja around the beach with my favorite KATANA.
