The airspeed would definitely be the way to go, i certainly want the wings to be producing lift prior to cutting the vtol function rather than when the wings deploy, at first i was thinking an endstop switch but if course that would end the vtol lift

New question, same project. When utilizing a dual flight function, will i need two separate flight controllers, or can i use the pixfalcon to operate both systems and if so, how do i get one system to switch off while in one flight mode, whether it be fixed wing or quadcopter

I've got a 3d printer capable of many different materials so it's been fun designing different things. I really want to make both systems equally of use, but I'm fairly certain that the fixed wing function will end up being the primary, i just would really like to be able to retract the wings in...

Wow, thank you so much. This was incredibly informative, my expertise is rotory wing aircraft and fixed wing. Most of my payload will be additional battery capacity. I was also thinking about derating motors, being able to produce the required thrust with less power. This craft isn't so much...

Thanx guys. I am a commercial helicopter pilot and am familiar with the latest FAR/AIM. My project is not so much for fun, but I'm sure once it's complete it will be quite a bit of fun, but more so for research, i am just not familiar with electronic drive and the thrust ratios for this type of...

I'm designing a new quad or hexcopter, Ive got my basic design and I know what autonomous flight controls I will be using. I'm having issues figuring out what motor, prop efficiency. Ive searched different discussions on the matter, but they way it is explained is as though they are speaking to...
