RESULTS of "WILL it FLY", Re-visited Part 2 2009

[taltigolt]

will it fly

that is the question

[bashardabst]

it would make a good drifter

[josh60943]

about the strawberries,you made me want to eat it

[ssonic116]

Where is the next segment?

[Me102288]

Hi bud, its because the propeller is above the center. would work if you put it at the 3/4 point and used similar to an airboat, with rudders + an an elevator..

then again it doesnt look like theres much of an airfoil ob those wings :-o

[hamstergangster196]

you need to upgrade the motor to fly the plane

[hamstergangster196]

its to heavy on the front thats why the plane cant fly

[kunsikl]

My daughter and I are enjoying so much of your experiment!! Thank you so much!!

[TheDarkClanVidz]

but will it blend? lol

[AmirTayelVEVO]

for sure it wont fly cuz it over weight and u need to put wheels to give it more power and try to put a less weight things and more power stuff well i see in 1:48 u did put wheels put if u saw when he was moving it it was falling from the head cuz that would make it fly u need put stuff in the wings maybe it will help and try to not put alot of stuff in the head and make it not heavy well in 3:50 u made the wings bigger and more heavier u need to get bigger body not wings anyway good luck dave

[improvised239]

u need rudder control screw the moving propeller and put a moter in the tail

[william44surf]

the CG is on the tail, you have to put it on the midle.

[weignerg]

ok... use some physics, and you'll definitely get it off of the ground. oh wait you cant. Not with it having more drag and weight than thrust and lift... its too bulky. Take it back to the drawing board...

[schroldgames]

It wont fly, But will it blend?

[ibetdougiecan3]

your fuckin retarded

[samljer]

Hollow out the body and cut down on the shit fukin with the airflow and you would have 1000x more stability

[abhinavapillai]

where did you get the reciver and transmeter from

[c43939]

its because the motors to far up over the plane

[toomyzoom4]

look like 911 to me.

[AljoProduction]

lol

[roijasonlagunzad]

fly a paper plane would be ok..

[AClarke2007]

How much time have you got left on this Planet?

[TheRoncopeel]

Hey look I made an RC glider!!

*throws it*

See i told you i could make a RC car!

[keithroche2]

The thrust line is too high; that it tends to bring the nose down. It wont take the aircraft up. If you do need it to go up; you'd need huge downforce from the tail; which wont happen again because the tail plane is small and I dont even know if it moves ?!

[BrickMyPSP]

ok carve out the spots where the componets are it will get rid of weight an help with the aerodynamics an also the wing is way to big but maybe if you moved the fuselage to thhe back part of the wing an hot glue it into place it will fly but dont make it to tale heavy eather or it will just stall out.........

[flanker271]

What happend to the Kyosho T-33? That's where the bigger wing came from, correct?

[flanker271]

No matter which angle you put the propeller at using the servos, there is always a huge induced pitch down moment near the CG. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it won't fly!

[GustavoRodrigo15]

0:35 hahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahah­ah

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkk

EPIC FAIL

[funzz1]

that looks heavy

[Thenonsilentninja]

needs wind because its A GLIDER

[il2sturmovikfb]

needs bigger wings

[walkandlookup]

IMFHO: the first version: no airfoil on wings will never fly. the one with big wings first check CG or U will waste Ur time

[chrismofer]

wow. you make this whole project and then "however that will work i dont know. hahahahaha.

[SuperHOTrains]

no

[Zvesda]

At least it makes a good car.

[linurd]

type gift before youtube and hit enter to win prices

[willsgotbeer]

he looks like hitler XD

[EPIKLolzer]

LOL!!!! HUGE WINGS!!

[youtship]

The engine is positioned too high on the plane, making it unstable, even if it could fly

I would redesign it to place the engine on the abdomen or the rear.

[TheAircraftmechanic]

put your motor at the CG location

[icu123abc]

It needs more electricity.. It took a whole lightining bolt for Frankensteins monster..

[Maxh0506]

he looks like hitler

[methos319]

The wings should have been over carriage.

[ghostman982]

the wings are to smal

[ciukcia98]

you can make everything fly. your a genius did you know that?

[NorwegianBoy94]

stop the PORN MUSIC!!

[superpowers1234]

u should put some wheels on and make it a rc place

[helicrashpro]

You need a larger wing area .Too much weight. The motor is positioned poorly for even thrust.

[helicrashpro]

You need a larger wing area .Too much weight

[3shacks1house]

Bert Rutan is rooting for you!!

[Kpilot786457]

i got a bigger glider 2ft winpan im modding it to look kindof like a 737.

[heberorozco]

wing is 2 small for those heavy electronics and the wing has not airflow

[0111649116]

the thing that the motor pulls is better

but remove the servos under the motor and put them for elevators and rudder or one for the aerliones and elevators at the same time and one for the rudder and place the servos no either sides of the fuselage on top of the wings to maintain balance and use the smalest brushless motor you can find and pack th components inside and a more powerfull battery pack and try toreduce weight

[tman120120]

@0111649116

Of course it would fly if he did that, thats basically turning it into NORMAL plane...... He knows what he's doing, he is one of the pioneers of rc flight and is just EXPERIMENTING with making something nobody has tried.

[sidman172]

the second flight dont take off on the ground XD

[gpette3]

I love these video-clips! Hilariously full of playfulness and humor - awesome!!!

[emmet011]

form follows function. if u make it look like it will fly the it should fly right?

[magicmike1122]

send me this plane and ill convert it to rc and make it fly and i wont give up. ill document it and put it up on youtube.

[doobedoo22]

I guess the centre of thrust is too far above the centre of drag, so it'll always tend to nose down when you apply the power.

[jackuserjack]

i laughed so much at 4:19 that my ass fell off .....litteraly

[lilgreg95]

A Canard Mt Herbet A Canard!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cakemanx3]

all board the fail plane.

[PLISKEN12]

i think the plane itself is in bad shape to fly. not the power.

[thechoosendude]

How much does it weigh? How big is the wing surface area? Find both and calculate the wing loading, and compare it to other foamies... see if it's even capable of flying first.

Then calculate the amount of thrust you have... compare it to gross weight and figure out power-to-weight and its correlation to your wing loading.

After that comes figuring out the air flow, aerodynamics, weight balance, etc.

[ubermarklar]

That is such a good idea but such a useless airframe! I doubt the second one will fly; it needs a longer fuselage. That would be awesome with a bigger airframe and the electronics sunk into it so they don't provide air resistance. I reckon it would be great on a depron delta airframe as a pusher.

[GeneDunno]

If you don't like your pet cat, this would be a good way to get him out of the house. :-)

[pakvanjdam]

change the position of the motor..

[jiuop]

lol fail

[Squog]

Your new wing is too heavy. Won't fly. :)

[fruitysqueezer]

u look like freakin adolf hitler

[NSchnatter190]

The center of thrust is way too high!!!

[PHeMoX]

That would make for a neat powerboat though. xD

[TheEdh13]

needs more lift

[EDCgearreviews]

Well at least it can slide across the floor!

[hazzelarator]

I could help you make this fly! strap a grenade to it and blow the fucker to kingdom come!

[SQUIRALBOY43]

@hazzelarator lol hell yeah

[chuchito0]

hahaha, rare and funny wait yo waste your time jajaja

[hocksinner]

cg wayyyyyyyyy out. not enough wing area for mass... drag... try the weed thing !)

[tongting123]

use a more powerfull motor at the back faceing backwoulds

[DimonVDA]

stady airodainamik!!!

[christiaan12nl]

why not steering with a servo ?

[TakinYoCup]

Lol dude u ruined a perfectly good 2$ foam plane you would get a better fly out of it with out all that extra junk

[asker412]

it´s very crazy

[trab1925]

hey at least you're not sitting on a couch smoking weed... or..?

[doldei]

maybe he should ...

[jesusfreak900x]

put the motor in FRONT, if you put it on TOP it will create a push that will push the plane FORWARD and DOWN, if you put it on bottom it will push UP, then you will have a problem controlling it as it will be very prone to flips. my suggestion is to put the motor in front, there might be a bit of corkscrew twist, but you can calibrate the aeriloins to compensate.

[jackuserjack]

maybe if you use a more powerful motor and put the motor in the front it will work

[redgaridose]

try the engine under neath

[nunvikingsofthesea]

put a even bigger motor on it!

[workers99]

course it wont fly....have you actually looked at it????

[marinerheart]

and now lets find out:

Will it blend , or won't it!

on blendtec!

[Ispintechno1]

needs way more motor. I predict a tip stall nose dive from the get-go.

[aboogie123456]

too heavy

[maurpine]

i love it!

[Isuckatpaintball2]

SUBED

[ProductionDesignrMAX]

@ 2:20 "i think it wanted to take off..." LMFAO oh damn that was funny

[jman5630]

I have recently decided to do about the same thing, but with a foamy from Hobby Lobby that has a 4.5 foot wingspan. It is extra floaty on its own, so weight in the front for pure gliding was a must. I would try something that size, as the large wing area seems perfect for supporting the gear that you have installed on this one. Ill try to make a video of mine and post it.

[0MoTheG]

everything but the motor is to small and not streamlined enough.

also the wings need to be sanded into a profile.

jasmine2501 and RCSonicjet are right about motor placement.

[hasanjohnh]

the wings are to small for the body to lift!!!!!SIMPLE

[derderpaintballguy]

its too heavy.....

[100randomthings]

you should put wheels on it and i will be a plane car

[LILPICKUPMAN]

have your tried tiling the motor down instead of up? the plane itself is already made to be on plane,, so shouldnt you tild it down? just an opinion

[mlthomp1981]

Have I missed the follow up to this one? I haven't seen it posted unless I've missed it! I've been waiting to see if the new design works or not.

I hope Dave hasn't forgotten about this one! lol

[dubspins]

needs more rudder!

[smartguy13v]

cut a strip out of it so the air goes through the plane not around it

[nunvikingsofthesea]

when is part 3 coming out?

[taofledermaus]

Not enought tail surface and cg looks all out of whack.

[splotman114]

put some wheels on it when its on the ground(make a car)

[Geovanniv]

Totally out of balance due to location of the prop/motor, which cause excessive in-plane rotation. This should be located in-line with the center of wings an fuselage.

[DG121480]

Anyone ever try and check for CG??? I guess, if you have nothing better to waste your time on...why not do this! No need to see if the new one flys....I think I know the outcome.

[wowpaladin10]

lol there is a good reason why we dont put the engines in top of the cockpit

[RAJKUMAR1609]

put more power and put weight on the back

[1a2d3a4m34]

youll get good results for "crash landing"

[JRBeaman]

A little better airfoiling might help....

[1a2d3a4m34]

i think he needs more lift at the back...

[bbrmotosports]

lol, nice try any way.

[jomo35davas]

you need a wayyyyyy larger vertical stabelizer

[QuiglysMom]

Also... stick with the smaller wing and try increasing the dihedral, and/or the length of the wing without increasing the width. Getting the dihedral and wing length right can be a tricky business even if you have the proper formulas to calculate it with, so don't expect any record-breaking or stable flights. Also keep in mind that vectered thrust isn't going to be as efficient using a prop, and also that with your wing shape you will get stalls rather easily. --KP, Boeing Aircraft Corp.

[QuiglysMom]

Your main problem is that you have too much kit disrupting the airflow over vertical and horizontile stabilizer. If you put it all underneath the aircraft and perhaps place landing gear on the front so that the prop will clear, you'll get it off the ground without a problem.

[luciferq7]

It looks way too heavy, and those tiny gliders barely fly as gliders. nice vid though.

[0n3m1s1s0]

please read my post on part 1 to see why this plane doesnt fly if you want to make a plane for yourself peops :D as i think the pointers i give are essentials!

[boman4444]

definitely need a bigger vertical stabilizer/elevator with all that drag

[RacerLamboMurcie18]

i think it would have a better chance of flying if the wings were on the top, because i think that when the wings are on the top the plane would be more flotier, not sure about that but if it doesnt fly wit wings on bottom, try top

[crazycool25]

i tried this with a rc car guts and used a 9 volt for power it didnt have enough power so i got four small motors from those tiny air hogs planes spliced the wires and it had enough trust to make it fly but the cicut board fried befire i got it up in the air i had a ruder and everything to bad i cut out the middle part of the wings and all the components were inside the plane so it almost looked right out of the plastic

[cutter043]

im sorry to say professor herbert that the drag coefficient along with the wing area will not allow that airplane to take to the sky,,, OH LORD WHERE DID MY MOTUH COME FROM .. LOL

[superfish99]

hey i was about to say bigger wingspan when u said it on the video... lol i say a nicer brushless and maybe cut the throws down for control on the motor!.... cool though... i cant wait to see if it will fly...

[BigRickSharpe]

Ha, ha gonna leave us hangin a bit!

[moolikeacow2]

Infinitely Variable Vectored Thrust. I love it! I definitely think the third one will have the best chance. Looks like it might glide at least a bit. We'll see!

[dodykid4ever]

face it, it was doomed from the begining...

lol

[macrumpton]

With the prop so far above the wing and the tail boom being so short it has no choice but to dive. The second version would have had a better chance if you had made the wings sweep back and junked the fuselage and mounted the prop directly on the wing.

[TylerReifenberger5]

what so that we can get a flying wing instead of an airplane.

[scienceguy22]

Remember folks, this is the man who successfully subbed a pie dish for a heli tail rotor!

This contraption will fly.

[outlaw662sr]

all that and didnt get to see it 1 star lol no 5/5

[huntcampfishMN]

that would be cool if it could fly!!!

[bendover90]

u put a battery on the back that weighs a fucking ton of course it would crash

[NightFlyyer]

It was balanced perfectly on the CG, hence the reason it was back there. It was no accident.

[PHeMoX]

@NightFlyyer Its odd though, it doesn't look balanced to me. The last design shown looked a lot better, but you'll have to take into account the vertical balance too. Anything top heavy will roll over quite easily and might become unflyable even though it might 'soar'. At least... that's in theory.

Interesting videos nonetheless!!

[Scooty9794]

When i watch this it seems to me like you have no experience with Airplanes but you have

[NightFlyyer]

I like to play and experiment personally. And remember, if you try everything logical, and still fail...the only possible answer is illogical. I live by that rule.

[heavnhel]

@NightFlyyer so if i cant make a plane fly, i wrap it in duct tape and it will fly?

[undertake782]

Nice! That is so cool! Don't give up! Make it fly! xD By the way, do you have a video on how to make your own RC plane? I would like to do that. It's just that I don't know what I need to make an RC plane. I hope it flys next video! I'd love to see it fly.

[DarkTuga96]

try a stronger engine and put the center of gravity bewind the wings

[nunvikingsofthesea]

put a bigger engine on that thing

[AirForcef18]

Heck..just put a new fuse on there and install the motor on the inside like a normal airplane...yah it takes the fun out of it, but thats the only way its going to fly normaly I think...but will see

[EduBrasil2007]

what uggly thing is this? you need a plane to make it flies... sorry, but I think you don´t need to try new experiments... you have a lot of planes to fly... lol..

[Criptografo]

i think you must read bernoulli hydrodinamics cool stuffs great experiment ! i hope can fly

[305abnormal]

Dave what are you doing? is too heavy and with all those controls in the to the aerodinamid is just not worcking look at the airplane it self the wings are too short to suport the airchraft weight and it wount flie

[RockinRobbins13]

Yup. Too much down thrust and not enough power. But it is better than before.

[scolen3]

Hey Dave, no cheating with the wing. =P

jk, keep it up!

[tomterahedrob]

thats a brilliant idea for a motor mounting.

[allgunzsblazen]

dave keep it up lets get a flight out of this?

[cybersurg]

Have you tried using blades instead of wings to make a lawn mower?

only joking..

Remember if it can glide without power it will fly with power. Try making a glider first.

[epilogue777]

you need to get the wind from the prop acting on the wings. lift is created from a pressure difference along the wings which is based on the lift coefficient and the speed of the air getting full contact with the wings, having the prop that far above the wings gets no wind contact on the wing span itself. without the air speed from the prop the best you can hope for is an extended glider.

[billgetsmail1]

your like orvill and wilber wright of the rc world. how about trying a pusher prop from the back . they say if you throw enough ---- aginst the wall somethings bound to stick. I AM NOT SAYING YOUR THROWING ---- but you get the idea . . love your vids thanks.

[joehandsome99]

I liked the second version. It looked as though it was paddling around the ground trying to get up. I look forward to the next trial Dave.

5 Stars ~ Eric

[locoleroco]

if it would work that would be tight but for now it's just an idea

[flyingfutaba]

I still dont think you'll get off the ground. the idea is right but things like the height of the motor the over sized wing underpowered motor...keeping Dave

[Styreta]

rotate the motor up 90 degrees, then put the entire pitching motor system on the back. Nice thrust vectoring unit :P

[beverke7]

haha, sure was a nice 'ground glider', don't give up Dave, I'm pretty sure you will succeed somehow with this experiment !

[mauersegler79]

It think there's a real chance it will fly...it has a profiled wing now, i guess dave will watch out for balance to be alright. It wont fly perfectly, it'll be veeery twitchy -but it will certainly stay in the air sufficiently long enough to call it "flying".

[bladeflyer7]

i don't think the second version will fly

[konohasblackjet]

they look like p-51 wings

, i think it need more power and plus i think it may need to be balanced

[RCSonicjet]

It will not fly because the motors thrust line is way to high and is pushing the nose down.

If the motor was on the nose it would fly.

[airlinerdude12]

your correct my friend :)

[SoCalsandman780]

I think as long as you heed the warning on those "No Step" decals (ha! ha!) it will fly! I want to see you put a set of wings and a motor on an empty Kleenex box and get that up in the air. Now there's a challenge! =)

[startazz]

I was wrong then as i thought the first one was going to fly lol,will this fly?? you got me there but i would say not enough power as the wings look heavy to me but who knows,a man with your background can get just about anything to fly in my book so good luck and i can't wait till the next video know lol,5*

[stot2614]

I have to wait even longer to see the results than watching the normal 6-8 commercials like on TV... Yeah, the suspense is killing me too, Dave! I hope you make Part 3 very soon!

[dangerousprimate]

damn the suspense is killing me! im really no expert but the tail looks a bit short. great vid.

[azh01e]

What if you were able to put a whole new motor and prop on the nose of the plane to pull it along and get it to fly and add your contraption to the rear of the plane and let it become your rudder and elevator and such.... hmmmm.......

[omendesign]

all i can say is that you need the big foamy wings. it'll fly then. 1 50A GWS EDF w/3s 500mah makes a 4' wal-mart foamy fly off of 2 5g servos and 1 corona 6ch rx and ics100 esc.

[dnutt1985]

dave i dont watch soaps for the same reason i dont like the suspence plz make the vid soon and maby try two of those servo set ups one on each wing

[girrocks12345]

I doubt the final plane will fly. The wings are gonna be waayyyy too heavy. Maybe if you figured out a way to mill out pockets in the wing, it would work. We shall see, now wont we!

[puggster]

a very interesting concept indeed

however me thinks it will nee more power to pull it

i think if you had a motor or even 2 motors for thrust and that pivoting motor for steering it would fly

 i do belive it will fly but as you said its a case of experimenting with difrent ideas

i would stick with the puller prop as the pusher migh want to bring the nose down

the puller prop should pull it up

anyhoos good luck with that :)

[bugijs123]

i think it has to short tail

[Nuetron9]

I put a good effort into trying to RC one of those planes and I didnt have much luck either, but I did do really well converting the 4.5' wingspan ones.

[Nickydoodledoo]

the second wing is way too big for that little motor and prop,too much drag

[subocito]

I'm thinking that it's too hevy to fly.

[ericdamexican]

good try dave, but those things barly "fly" without all the extra weight!!!! good luck Eric

[3DRCFOAMY]

You need a more dihedral wing for more stability
