Building has been at a slow pace for me lately due to lack of inspiration.. Going to Dan's fly-in this year and seeing all of the amazing planes and ideas fly got me thinking again. My last VTOL attempt was a failure and a success at the same time. I got it hovering in a somewhat controlled state but never got the chance to transition. Crashes set me back before the whole dang thing …

Scott's latest plan looks similar to this product, which is suppose to be capable of VTOL. Maybe a thing or two can be learnt from it? 📷 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/RC ...

About the EDF: Let’s talk a little about the EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) itself. And EDF uses a higher KV motor, this means it does its work at a higher RPM. It takes longer for the motor to wind up, so it has a slower acceleration. The plane has to be built around the EDF, more so than the Prop motor combo. An EDF system is also harder to set up and it cost more. In front of the …

2010年12月22日 · Has anyone tried to make a prop driven version of the F35B method of tackling VTOL? I am wondering if this is possible...I drew up a very rough sketch of a variation on this theme. There is a top and a side view, with the nose direction on the left and the tail on the right. 📷 The F35 uses an additional fan at the front facing down (dead weight in forward flight) and the …

We have released MK2 versions of our planes for the past few months. Each Mk2 builds on the MK1 and adds performance and looks- mainly performance. A few months ago Jay and I began discussing how we could tweak the original Alpha Jet to be better than it already was in aerobatics and more importantly, high alpha and hover. Over the last 2 months have built and tested …

This project is crazy but it will happen trust meo_O

first vtols need to be set up like the f-35 it is the best platform that looks real the real f-35b is tail heavy have a 25oz plane a 8 oz lift fan and a mega jet on the back so that the nose is super lite easy to lift it.l gyros will be needed for forward and vertical flight the back motor needs to sivel up not down like the real one so the weight of the plane act like a wing on trainer plane ...
