hi,
i'm a new RC learner now taking over a project of making a ducted fan liked flying craft. however i can't make it fly in a controllable manner and would like to seek for advice.
below are the descriptions about the flying craft
fuselage:
1. material: plywood
2. control surface: 4 pairs (8 pieces) below the fuselage body
3. weight: 750g (body+electronics)
4. shape: doughnut shaped (diameter 30cm), with one propeller (13 inches, pitch 7) on top, 4 pairs of flaps below
electronics:
1. 4 JR DS 3301 servo motors to control the 4 pairs of flaps
2. 1 Futaba GYA 350 gyro
3. 1 Hacker B40 12L+4.4:1 brushless motor
4. 1 Hacker Master 40-3P controller
5. 1 Sanwa RX-611 40MHz 6 channel receiver
6. 1 Basic Stamps 2 (mix the gyro ouput and receiver output to control the 4 pairs of flaps)
The motor is able to lift the flying craft up and my task is to make it stable during the flight. however i need to clear some doubts before i can move on.
1. the flying craft is powered by a big power supply device at 13V 14A, is the motor being over driven? if i want to change to battery power supply, how to choose a suitable battery?
2. when it flies, it always tilt forward or sideward, what's wrong actually? how to stablilised it? i don't have pitch control, the 4 pairs of flap below are the only control surface i have.
3. should i change a lower pitch propeller instead? my primary goal is make it hover with counter torque balanced by the 4 pairs of flaps, is there any tecnique that can help to achieve this?
4. the gyro is used to sense any rate changes about the vertical axis, my control algorithm incooperate with BS2 works well when the craft is moved manually, but still haven't test for actual flight. any comment on this?
hope to get the reply asap as i need these info and advice urgetly, u can either reply me in this post or email me at kakiawee@hotmail.com. your kindly helping is appreciated. thanks
