The new module with multiwii flight controller.
The landing gear was modified to handle the weight better.
The setup was changed to make it suitable with the multiwii.
No flights so far, except a couple of hover tests. Waiting for a new ubec for better power feed to the board.
The controller has mag, baro, autolevel, headfree, etc…
Hoping to test it soon after finding the right calibration…

CrossWing module maiden test with Multiwii & 5S setup

• New carbon frame and setup,
• New 5S batteries
• Newly adapted Multiwii controller

After playing with PID a little bit this machine turned into a beauty. The video have several landings and takeoffs, to make sure the new 80A ESC is not overheating. It held pretty well, after frying the 60A on LLRV module last week.
Mag worked without any problems. I was comfortable enough to take a couple of small spins around the park towards the end of the test. Considering the flight time that I got with multiple takeoffs, the new setup with 5S batteries will probably provide over 5 minutes flight time in an uninterrupted flight.
Pretty happy with the results…

Very impressive design! Any improvements in flight time with foldable wings? Ever looked into AVID's EDF-8? Why 70 mm? What kind of rpm's are you getting in flight?
Which version are you designing now? Mono-Phan 5?

Thanks! there is no particular reason for using 70mm fan. I am probably getting up to 50-55K RPMs. There are other examples of VTOL edf other than AVID's EDF-8 using vanes for all 3 axis. They are nice and not in the same category as Mono-Phan. Mono-Phan 5 is on drawing board. I already increased the flight time with new battery, ESC combinations. After I complete the adaptation of Multiwii, I will revisit different different wing designs for a better performance.

Second test flight of the crosswing unit with multiwii...
