AR Wing Pro Special Edition - not bad... for a wing...

The wagging... looks like tail heavy?

whats the difference between this and the normal ar pro... just the colour??? @arxangelrc

wrong you don't know how to tune a plane on inav. you don't put trim on your plane if your using a flight controller

you do not trimm if you have a flight controller you will mess up the surfaces if you put trim on the plane with a controller. make sure the wings are flat and level the flight controller can tune them by itself in auto tune

put a MAGNET IN THE VIDEO WIRE FROM FC TO VTX SO THE VIDEO SIGNAL DOSE NOT GET BAD SIGNAL FROM OTHER COMPONETS

very detailed! thanks alot for this, i'm looking to get in to RC planes myself, (flying Quadcopters freestyle for a few years already) looking for a wing that can be heavy so I can use a DJI System. and Crossfire RC

Nice!

Nice informative video as usual. After watching "HOW-TO Matek F765 Wing /w ArduPlane" I decided to give a try to Arduplane on my AR-Wing pro. Can you give me some tips about auto take-off settings please? Regard

Hey should I use arduplane or inav for this build? I heard inav allows much better control of the sticks? I am going to be using an ELRS transmitter/receiver.

Do you rent a storage locker? What do you do with all these planes?

Как же режет твой английский! Без обид.

I got out to 4.72 miles same VTX , running a 5200 mAh lipo

What kind of weights did you use?? I need some.

Always hated this version since day one. Other then being white its pointless, and whats Eachine got to do with it?.. Ar wing or pro all day long. Great video though as always

Your accent sounds so familiar, what is your nationality?

I may give this one a try. I never liked the original AR wing but my Horizon Opterra has been a nice flying reliable perfomer

Great plane. I bought it this summer, but I had different experience compared to you in regards to tip stall. I was flying in guided mode, tried to adjust the altitude by pulling the elevator to go up, but then when I released it, ArduPilot corrected it a bit by pushing the nose down. At this point the plane has reached its guided point and started loitering. Those 2 combined threw the wing into an unrecoverable spin. I was at 350m altitude. Tried pretty much everything I could think of but the plane just kept on spinning to the ground. This total lack of control made me think maybe one of the wing screws fell off and and I lost a wing. Spoiler alert - nope, haven't lost a wing.

I spent hour and a half trying to get to my plane, because it crashed kilometer and a half away in a pretty unpleasent to cross terrain. Thankfully to my 4G telemetry, I kept getting signal on my iPad and I knew exactly where it was. The only lucky thing that happened this day is that the field it crash on had only one bush and the plane perfectly hit it. No damage at all, just a very minor scratch which I am not even going to repair.

I agree for the CG markings. Looks like Sonic Model decided to play it safe and put them a bit to the front. I moved the center of gravity 1-2cm back and it seems a bit better, but still dips the nose in manual. Not sure if this change contributed to the spin though. I had 10 flights before that (40 minutes each) and I didn't have any problems whatsoever.

i wonder about their thrust angle, it seems too varied between the same product...

Your video link is getting steadily worse...How come there's no "interference" when you're nearer home?...🤔🤔😳😳🇬🇧

Glad you released this video. I'm building my first wing right now. Subscribed because I've been watching a lot of your videos lately. Very helpful.

What about the death spiral this plane likes to do if you go too slow?

I run the CG in my AR Wing Pro about 10mm behind stock location to eliminate pitch bob, but then it's a bit more prone to tip stall to the left on launch (notice how yours rolled to the left after your throw) so I also replaced the stock foam winglets with much larger (longer, taller) coroplast winglets to restore yaw stability. Looking through some DJI FPV DVR footage I see a little yaw waggle in windy conditions, which is 100% eliminated with the Hero7's Hypersmooth. Maybe it's better than the Osmo's stabilization.

I found on this wing will fly well even on the back half of the CG marks, they are a little to forward. My AUW is 1290g's and it almost lost the majority of the reflex barring 1-2mm needed

TBH I kinda like the raw footage compared to stabilized. Raw does have imperfections but its real, the way stabilized works on averaging image frames to eliminate shake makes the motion look fake, almost a CG effect. Makes the motion in the frame look staged and choreographed almost to the point that you wouldn't believe you are on a wing, which kinda takes away from the experience. Again just my opinion. Thanks for the video

Check out Bonafide Pirate his AR Pro doesn't wag, it flies on rails!

If you add extra vertical surfaces to the top and bottom like the ritewing ritesepec ships with it will help with wag and make it pretty much stop. Just works better with a vertical surface below the wing as well as the top.

They telefly products do not like anything near the 915 band. It will cause interference if its anywhere near the receiver wires.

Set your Ardu COMPASS_ENABLE to 0 along with the COMPASSx_USE to 0. This will get rid of the compass warning in Mission Planner. Of course I also disable the COMPASS from the pre-arm checks

Hi there... on my Reptile S1100 and AR900 I fly with Sunnysky X2212 low KV and a 10x6 prop, it has plenty of power but as ecenomical to a point where I get bored to fly and land it before I empty the battery, on my Reptile I am using a 4S2P 21700 and I have put it on the ground with the bat at 47% 73 minutes after I toke off... I expect to get an AR Pro somewhere soon and this will be its power train setup for sure... try it yourself. Cheers

Well the solution for the waggle is "simple" - and not feasible on this foam thingie.
You need a flying wing with bell shaped lift distribution (instead of elliptic), aka. flying wing with a twist in it as you go from the middle to the wingtip, with the twist leading to less and less angle of attack as you come closer to the tip.
You need either that of a vertical control surface to not get dutch roll.

I put my air unit in the left bay and had to cut foam to get the coax cable back out on my arwing pro. when I wanted to remove it. It was easy to push the coax with it's grommet through, coming back out...not so easy.

What about damage to the prop or motor mount at landing?

Least you use real autopilot and not inav

Hated mine. Like the original better. Way easier to launch.

Thanks for the review. I just ordered one as my first wing build coming from multi-rotors mostly for mountain surfing.

I'm guessing my Crossfire/DJI system will be limiting but a good start. Is there a good introduction video for Dragonlink and/or the LR analog video setups people commonly run?

You need to put a little drag to the wings or maybe vortex generator fin..

@arxangelRC man can you make a full tutorial to start w/ autonomous flying

My AR Pro has its FC in the rear compartment. The yaw wiggle is caused by external drag. The airframe is very sensitive to external drag. My first one crashed a few times due to big external antennas (vas bluebeam 1.3ghz). TrueRC Singularity is good as it can be mounted inside the wing. Also consider mounting the dragonlink antenna with one half sticking out the bottom. This also increases efficiency a fair bit (100mah/km vs 120mah/km). The plane seems to be very reliable even compared to talon and skyhunter type of planes. Happy flying!

I didn't managed to make it fly, yet.
Can you please share your PID settings? :)
Thank you.

Very nice setup. Hope you get the video snow figured out. 

BonafidePirate has been flying and testing his AR Wing lately (also Ardupilot, recently adding airspeed sensor). His seems very stable and smooth. May be worth comparing notes, CoG, setup, PIDs, etc. Think his is lighter, which might make difference in handling.

About the black color. When i got my first AR Wing. I didn't like that it's black due to the heat concern BUT NO. It didn't get hot surprisingly. It's cold. At the same time, the black decal on my skyhunter is fking hot exposed to sun. So i wonder if the AR Wing got some special black on the surface

Hey there, mighty fine video! For this model and as heavy as you have it, would there be any advantages having a feathering prop? Thanks!

AutoTrim is amazing you just turn it on and leave it on. When you flick out of Crus - nothing - it'll be dead perfect trim.

Another great video! I'll fly wings and V-tail, but I prefer a traditional tail on my RC planes.

with regards tot he yaw wag, do you have any part of your elevons protruding down below the bottom of the air foil? this is a known issue with wings, one way around it would be to have a plastic sheet that is flexible enough to bend for down elevon but long enough that it stays flat on "up"

Great review. I'm not a fan of launching overhead(aka Prop-in-Face Method) like that. I have a TBS C2 and if you don't already have auto-launch programmed in, it's a real bear to launch anyway but the PIFM, which is odd b/c I don't ever remember seeing the Wipeout guys having to work very hard for their launches.
