Nice! Working on basically the same thing! What motors are you using? What is the total weight of the plane? Did you try to do just motor tilt and didn't work well or did you only try the full wing tilt?
Nice work! Brilliant design and a great transition too. I'm curious, do the flybars have any effect on the aircraft's handling in forward flight? - Cheers
Its pretty damn epic. If I can make a suggestion, I would have the motors tilt instead of the entire wing. If a gust of wind hit it with the wings like that, it would be thrown back.
@wkjms about 8 months. If I sat down did all the reserch and built all the prototypes and did this for 8 hours a day... it could be done in about a week.
hahaha i love it! . now lets make a indoor version... lol i like how simple the design looks though it doesnt look weird or crapy like alot of the other Vtol aircrafts.! nice work. or and for the wings what you could try instead of servos is electric retratable landing gear... thatly give it a stronger hold.. just a thought but ur the one who built it first so im guessing ur smarter lol
@hotblume not at all! the electric retract thing is a great idea, I was actually contemplating using one to control the tilt... but I dont have any XD
Awesome job guys! Great work, looks like you have a good VTOL Design. nice, i noticed the Flybar weights on the props, I was actually thinking of that idea too a little bit back and wondered if it woulld help act as a natural Gyro. What were your thoughths on those? Did they help much? Anyway, thumbs up, nice work on an original VTOL design! Thanks for sharing your cool video.
oh and one more thing how does it handle the wind? it looks like the wind could easily blow it around because of the whole wing being vertical in hover mode
Peter, get your hummingbird x-19 to the market. It's the best VTOL design in the planet!

Thats a tilt-wing, not a tilt-rotor. if it was a Tilt Rotor then only the rotors would move, like the Osprey

Wait. So a VTOL is a aircraft that can rotate the propellers to hover and go forward? plz reply

@cornybuddy technicly it stands for Vertical Take Off and Landing
I guess a helicopter also qualifies too?

This is really amazing! It seems to work so well! Nice Job:) It would be great if someone built a ready to fly scale airplane that works this nicely.
