Top Flite Taurus update.
First four flights went very well after installing the electronics for cruise control, only did replace the glow plug.
Important now is fine tuning of parameters of the controller(s) and measurement of results. Most interesting part of research and development. I use also sound recordings and different rules to find most effective controller parameters.
Without the right parameters the system is useless and even dangerous.
With the bigger, 13 “ propeller (was 12) finding the new adjustments takes some time.
Picture 1 made this afternoon after the successful flights.
Inside isn’t much changed, a picture to archive (2)
More changes visible on outside after 6 years and 5 months picture 3.
