Now that I have had several good flights on my Volantex Ranger EX and have successfully trimmed it out and flown it using APM Plane v3.6.0 with a Pixhawk, I am ready for my QuadPlane conversion. By first flying the plane manually, and then with APM Plane, it eliminates much of the initial complexity of converting it to a QuadPlane. Further, when I assembled the Ranger EX for APM, I made the wiring "QuadPlane ready".
Here are my initial build images and findings from the Ranger EX thread on RCG. The plane needed some larger wheels and the gear mains swept forward a bit to prevent tip overs on ROG take-offs. The thrust angle was incorrect and the supplied tractor prop wrong for the built-in thrust offset of the stock motor mount. Once correctly, the Ranger EX flies like a dream!
