A complete step by step tutorial showing how to build a Heewing T1 VTOL RC plane. This tutorial also shows how to do all the programming in Ardupilot so that you can get the aircraft in the air with ease :)
For this build you will need:
A Heewing T1 PNP kit
A Heewing VTOL conversion kit
A Matek F405 VTOL flight controller
A Runcam Phoenix 2 Nano camera
A TBS Unify Pro Race 2 video transmitter
A TRUERC Singularity antenna
A TBS Crossfire Nano SE reciever
A Matek M8Q-5883 GPS/Compass
x2 30cm 20awg wire (one red, one black)
A 25x25cm heatsink
A 10cm XT60 lead
3D printed parts (link below)
You'll also need:
Thermal adhesive tape
Dupont crimps and connectors (various sizes)
Heatshrink
Gorilla heavy duty mounting tape
Uhu Por glue
Sticky backed velcro
Total build cost was around £500/$615
To do the programming you'll need the following free software:
Inav Configurator
Mission Planner
Blheli Suite
The 3d printed part files can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5683306
If you're wondering why the GPS module (and GPS mount) changed part way through the video, that's because I originally installed the wrong module by mistake lol.
Shoutout to Windfpv for his Arduplane tutorial video. Without it I would have been lost lol
