Adventures In Tailsitting
Published 2024-01-26
There were no plans as such but with the clue in the video that he made it from a single sheet of foamboard I tried to deduce the basic dimensions.
Here's the story so far...
(Hatcam decided not to work)
First challenge was to build the stabilizer from a Teensy 4.0 board and a IMU sensing board (bought 3 of these on amazon and the 1st two were faulty which was a bit of a head scratcher.)

Congratulations Caroline! It flies!! 🙂

Quite a handful but pretty cool project. The thing is with those is it feels that when hovering and maybe transitioning you want the wind side on so it doesn’t turn into a sail, but obviously that’s not where you want the wind for a wing. Look forward to you next flights

I struggled with the wiggling on the ground in the grass too haha. It’ll get into a bit of a resonance with the servos/IMU. Maybe some verticals that extend a few cm past the trailing edge would help

That’s great Caroline, hope to see more videos of that. 👍🏻

I've been wanting to do this for years. Will probably do one with Ardupilot one of these days. I've done single and dualcopters.

pretty awesome :)

Nice! When's the fpv system going in? :)
