Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Skywalker airframe-file ala september 2012

[Helge Walle]

Hi Christophe,

 

I have just finished my Skywalker (v5 i believe) which hasn't flown yet. It was purchased in 2012 and has one single CF tube through the middle of the wing.

 

As a starting point I would like to use one of the existing airframe files on git. There has been some discussion on where to keep the Centre of Gravity on this plane.

Would you have a recommended CG point for the Skywalker with Paparazzi?

 

Thanks,

Helge.

Our Skywalker airframe (yapa2 + xsens) is our UAV with most flight-hours but the airframe.xml file did not change (functionally) for at the very least over a year. But there seem to be several versions arround in several branches/folders. So I do not know which version you refer to as of Sep2012.  

This is the one actually flying: https://github.com/tudelft/paparazzi/blob/tudelft4.2/conf/airframes/TUDelft/skywalker.xml which might still have unused defines, outdated stuff etc. 

PS: there is absolutely no guarantee that it will work like this for other SkyWalkers. It depends on your total weight, choice of engine, actual servo setup and deflections, wing-stiffness-reenforcements, ...

Hi,

I have been flying a skywalker with a yape2 for some ime, based on settings from the TUDelft examle airframe-file. I just noticed they have published  a newer airframe-file, dating sept. 2012.

I am thinking of updating according to the newer settings, but I hope to learn about experiences with the new settings before I do. Anyone who can tell ?

Cheers!

Jorn
