This is my first EDF plane, earned in tyhe MotionRC 2021 awards for this other video I edited while flying in formation with my friend Airguardian: youtube.com/watch?v=V-eLnSy-TSw&t=3s
Since Airguardian is an EDF expert, I got good adverts from him and I offered he will honour the first flight of the brand new Freewing Vulcan.
After his first flight, I went in for my maiden. This is how it went.
When I was recording Airguardian I tried to make technical comments for others to come and find in the same situation like I watched every available video of other Vulcan maidens before this day.
We used CHNL 6S 4000mAh batteries on each flight, and a secondary 2S 850 mAh for the UBEC, 2 TBS Tracer receivers and all the servos. The red cable from the ESC BEC was disconnected.
Blue box was removed.
CG was the marked by default.
Both flights were made on high rates, at maximum deflection. Expos were at 40% on each axis on Jandro's flight, and increased it to 55% on ailerons for my flight.
Flaps positions were made less wide than by default, and were tied to 3 flight modes for flaps up, flaps 1 and full flap. As stated on the manual, flap 1 position has a mix of 1mm elevator down and full flap a mix of 2mm elevator down.
It's my first flight ever in and EDF jet. My previous experience with propeller RC planes was about 30 flight hours in biplanes plus 6 hours on a glider, plus 1,5 hours on a fast Me-163 Komet. I need to build much more experience from now on. :9
Sorry for the blurry moments on the videos. Unfortunately the first drone flight had a recording problem, you know, it happens sometimes, but at least we have images of the end of the first flight.
