Scale V-22 RC model hover test

[blaknite1]

If it flew like the real aircraft I'd like it.

[7249xxl]

dude.... SCORE :D

[SuperHappySquid]

it sounded pretty fine good when it started up

[bigtruckseriesreview]

The real Osprey is extremely good...at getting US Marines KILLED.

[kuriatal]

@bigtruckseriesreview and what are you basing this claim on?

[bigtruckseriesreview]

@kuriatal

The fact it suffers from vertex ring state and GETS MARINES KILLED.

[Gisodee]

@bigtruckseriesreview It's called "vortex" ring state. And the error that causes it has been corrected. Pilots are also trained on exactly what nacelle angle and speed contributes to vortex ring state and how to get out of it. My information is based on facts, not a news article. R.I.P. to those Marines though.

[bigtruckseriesreview]

@Gisodee

Vortex ring state can happen to any helicopter that descends too quickly. They claim it's been fixed? I sincerely doubt that.

[Gisodee]

@bigtruckseriesreview

So you're saying its prone to being in vortex ring state based on a few accidents on 2 test aircraft. Try reading "The Dream Machine" by Richard Whittle. Talks all about it and about the changes to the program. Pilot's are not allowed to put the plane into a vortex ring state based on their NATOPS manual. If they ever find themselves in that situation, they are trained how to get out of it. Besides that, the flight control computers won't "magically" do that to the plane.

nice job

[samratdeb]

This is good, but looks like it is made of wood... why don't you use ply wood instead for less weight?

[MtnHerper13]

@samratdeb WOOD!!!! no, its made of foam LOADS LESS weightthan ply

[annie3204]

impressive!!

[tewkewl]

damng! that's awesome!

[Rotormast]

Just Go to the web site and check it out.

[Rotormast]

just go to rotormast web site

[DHubert777]

Amazing

[Jakes1233]

nice

[rcplanegy]

Love the vid. And @ harp: the wings are ALWAYS IN 'airplane' mode maybe you saw a little toy airhogs with tilted wings. This is a tiltROTOR not tilt wing!  Look at the real thing, only the naucelles move. Although studies have shown that the tilt wing would allow aprox. 10-20% better vtol performance... Hmmmm might be my next project XD. Nicely done again love it.

[ozial2007]

@rcplanegy Yep, you hit the nail right on the head :) ...... it's a good job - loved it.

[Rotormast]

go to rotormast web site

[7249xxl]

@Rotormast could you give a link

[TheRonaldy12]

yoo were did you get this airplane men ?

[biglhot75]

Love it, and the wind-up of them Rotors is inspirational...

[TheHariputtar]

The wing is supposed to be vertical during the VTOL mode

[Rotormast]

@TheHariputtar Who said? Or are you just making this up?

[TheHariputtar]

@Rotormast

if not then after the transition of the wings and the motors how will it fly like a plane?

[PSNdomgul58]

@Rotormast making it in my opinion, it would create very weak points i the aircraft's fuselage where the wings would rotate

[obliviousfafnir01]

@TheHariputtar only the nacelles tilt during vertical flight. You should look up some vids of the actual V-22, interesting stuff ~_^

[Ronniegodfrey]

@TheHariputtar No....the pods are vertical and transition for horizontal flight.

[MadDwarfProductions]

@TheHariputtar, maybe on the airhogs TOY, but not on the real thing. get your facts straight before posting!

[ThePhilip112111]

not true you may think this because of air hogs osprey but full scale does not

[DeadlyInertia]

@TheHariputtar Nope, not even close.

[Gisodee]

@TheHariputtar No it isnt. The wing stays in the same position the entire time. The flaperons are the only thing that change positions when in airplane mode, besides the nacelle of course.

[erude13]

@TheHariputtar actually, no...go look at a real one

[FighterxPilot]

@TheHariputtar

NO. the props are supposed to be vertical the wings supposed to be horizontal



[corsairf2g1]

@TheHariputtar The wing is not in fact vertical on an Osprey during vtol mode...see any video of the actual aircraft. Suggest you check your info before making a definitive statement such as that on the internet. Helps to not spread misinformation!

[brizzlewcu]

close to scale

[Rotormast]

@brizzlewcu like to see you do better

[brizzlewcu]

@Rotormast ill just stick with the full size

[1lionmurrill]

One of the best looking v22 ive seen

[Rotormast]

@1lionmurrill Thanks, check out detals on rotormast web site

[dodgedart74]

that looks fake

[Rotormast]

@dodgedart74 That would be harder than just making the model

[xxkil]

@dodgedart74 its a model you bell end

[WhyYouDoHere]

Somone should make a halo 3 peilican or hornet!

[Rotormast]

@WhyYouDoHere , buy a rotomast v-22 kit and then do the mod yourself,

[deo11]

that's got to be the coolest thing I've ever seen =)

[Rotormast]

@deo11 Thanks

[xxkil]

that was great you should try the fairy rotordyn as your next progect



[Rotormast]

@xxkil 

[floydturbo2]

Is it hard to fly??

[Rotormast]

@floydturbo2

No, easy, three axis gyro stabilized

[TheDarkone1111]

COOL ... i want one !!!

[Rotormast]

@TheDarkone1111 Its avalible for pre order on rotomast web site

[diewont]

let me guess, full collective pitch heads with cyclic? awesome work! I guess it was the only way to do it.

How does the full size regulate pitch control, or is that a secret??

[Rotormast]

Of corse the cyclic and CP was the answer. All the guys that are doing it with RPM are making it hard on themselves. It only has 6 servos in the entire ship. And it flys in full airplane mode. I dont know how many servos the guys that are not running cyclic use but it has to be close to 6. Not sure what you mean by regulate....ITs go a swash plate just like a helicopter.

[diewont]

Wow so full size has a swash - no wonder everyone else suffered! I had heard crazy stories about how the V22 managed pitch control, even shifting the distribution of fuel forward and aft - that seemed crazy!!

[cornybuddy]

@Rotormast whats a cyclic???

[boost918]

Hey, nice work. That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheAdonaiExpress]

THanks, Three years to figure it all out

[lesath82]

You've made it!! It's wonderful!! What have I to do to have one? I'd sell a kidney lol!!

[TheAdonaiExpress]

I am working on trying to kit this project

1st thing is to consolidate all the electronics into one control board that will work with a standard 7 channel helicopter radio. I have started this part and shoud be done in a few months. Then its to make kits. PS flew all the scale parts in full airplane mode yesterday. That test went perfect. Just need to get the wife out their wit a camera to film it. That will happen soon.

[mr33wmg]

Awesome job. I cant wait to see a video of a vertical tackoff, transition to full forward flight, then transition back for a vertical landing. Judging from your progress that wont be too much longer.

[Rotormast]

Thanks, It will be soon

[taoistflyer]

I've been following your v 22 project for a few years, I love it, you've come really far with it and it looks insanely stable now.

The scale body really makes it look great, I'm looking forward to some more good flight videos.

[Rotormast]

Thanks

[danilloshin]

Very stable!!!!
