You should just suspend a break-away-weight to the bottom and have it knot release itself when it's a certain distance above ground , I would think a fishing line reverse tether would keep the craft taut until it reaches that more stable 10 foot boundary . Nice design .Either that or some veins downstream the thrust flow . It's cool to see how my design might work when built .
@stijnxd haha 'think before you say something!' why dont you take your own advice!
Have a look in the center of the fuse, you can clearly see the turbine engine which swivels round to provide verticle thrust and horizontal thrust. The small rotor blades are their to help stabalise the plane in pitch and roll.
So you think before you say something and your the dumbass. HAHA bet you feel real stupid now, dont you.
The video your showing is actually Eddie Weeks of Louisiana. He designed and built the VTOL all on his own at his home. search him (eddieweeks) on this site.
I bet the same giro that balances the props could instead be plugged right in to servos to balance some thrust though central ducts left and right (angled down) - and the rudder servo could - via flaps, vector some of the same thrust backward / forward (i.e. rudder turn) - boy was that easy to say - to eliminate the brushless motors left and right
The best thing is that on that very same principle, a fully funactional RC F-35 can be built. And that is why I love RC! Thanks to modelers like these, the full scale aviation world gets a lot of its innovations! Great job! Hope you keep going forward in leaps and bounds like you are!
1 electric prop near each wingtip for hover roll control, 2 tail electric props on tail for hovering pitch control (probably also assisting in roll input)? I'm assuming by size, turbine provides most of lifting thrust. But does it also divert thrust for forward flight???
you're correct. the props are just for stability. The turbine though rotates to progress to forward flight.
However, there is another vid in my vids of a brand new rc harrier prototype. Kit is done, they are just working out the VTOL, and yes, it is real VTOL turbine. No props and nothing hinky.
My brother used to work with the guy who designed this one, I t needs to be held in the air during take off because the hot gases from the jet would burn up the aircraft otherwise, I still think it's interesting that the guy who built it usually lets someone else fly it.
probably takes up a lot of power.

I remember this jet couldn't take off and go into a hover by it self, the down thrust was too close to ground.

Didnt even know what the rotors were called HAHA

does a vortex ground effect prevent it from taking off vertically (in a controllable fashion) - like the harrier?

Does the jet motor rotate or was that a prop on the back I saw?
Can it rotate left and right?
Either way still pretty cool!
