Electric sport plane v2 (2 servo wing)

Post by MattyB »

v2 added 12th Dec 13

EDIT - Have moved the zip file to the template library when I found that shortly after making my original post; apologies for any confusion caused. :oops:

Here is my very first model setup for the Taranis, which I’m using on balsa Zlin 50 from Hobbyking. This setup should work great on any aerobatic electric model with a two servo wing (i.e Wot 4-e, Acrowot Foam-e, Max Thrust Riot, ST Models MX2 etc).

Features (v2 additions in bold):
  • Simplified mixer schema (flap and snapflap fns moved to high mixes; extensive use of GVARs).
  • 3 flight modes on switch SE (Acro, Takeoff and Landing).
  • Partial flap deployed for Takeoff; full flap for Landing. Transitions slowed over 2 seconds.
  • Triple rates on switch SA, active only in Acro mode (Takeoff and Landing use medium rates).
  • Snapflap (elevator to flap) mixing by default in Acro and Takeoff flight phases.
  • Snapflap volume adjustment on pot S1.
  • Snapflap suppression on switch SG.
  • Throttle kill on switch SF with optional visual confirmation (deflects elevator 45 degrees when throttle deactivated) and pre-flight check reminder; now implemented via mixers rather than a custom function.
  • Custom throttle curve to remove non-linear ESC response (will need to be tuned for each model).
  • “Nagging Nora” gives power-up announcement in Takeoff and Landing modes at low throttle settings (reminder to avoid throttle shut landings; I am mainly a glider pilot!)
  • Eagletree Guardian gyro control on switch SD (2D mode, 3D mode and off)
  • Flight countdown timer (reset by throttle kill on switch SF) and total model time timer.
  • Flight time remaining called out by short press of switch SH.
  • RSSI value called out by long press of switch SH.
  • Volume adjustable via pot S2.
  • Model name announcement on start-up/selection.
All changes are confirmed verbally when activated, and the sound files used are attached with the EEPE – simply paste them into the Sounds folder on your Taranis. Happy flying! :)
