Ground Handling Test for Quad Tilt Rotor Retracts

I've finally got the retracts designed and fixed to handle ground handling loads, this is the latest test on a wooden test rig. I hope to get the retracts in the fuselage this week.

I assume you mean the tilt servo. It's about as fast as you would want to tilt the nacelles, otherwise you wouldn't pick up enough airspeed during the transition from hover to cruise. It could probably transition back from cruise to hover faster, but it's just easier to do them the same speed.

I also noticed that the pithch servo is too slow so I thought that you could speed the pitch servo a notch so that it could fly a bit smoother.

When it works for a temporary situation and doesn't cost anything, yes I do :)

Redneck Much?

Thanks for the comment.

The design, like the Bell 609 and V-22, is not for takeoff with the props in cruise mode. This is mostly because larger propellers are more efficient for hover, and a larger gear would be too heavy.

If you want, you can move around on the ground and even takeoff with the 3 position switch in the middle position. That will put the props at 55 degrees.

I already have the vertyplane in real flight g4

I think it is a very good design, but in the sim, the props touch the ground when it is normal, try and make it a little bit higher
