This ball-shaped rotating wing rc-aircraft was designed and built to learn about the flight behavior of constantly horizontally rotating wings.
It flies with a remarkable stability in winds up to 1bft. Flightweight is around 650grs. and it is powerd by a 3D vector control unit, permanently stabilized by a 3S-1050mA LiPo (120 grs.) as a pendulum. The rotating ball is made from 6mm DEPRON and cf-rods.

  • i would suspect it's just like those toy flying saucers called vectron. big propeller inside and the whole body rotates the opposite way (due to main blades' rotation) and acts as anoter set of prop.

  • @pofrani No, it's completely different: Vector Control, weight-pendulum stabilized ...

  • LED strips and night flying.  I bet pictures of this show up on the news and guys in black start taking radiation readings. lol Very nice craft.

  • Wait, so the battery is mounted to a swinging "pendulum" thus it is always pointed downwards due to gravity?

  • Wow, now that is interesting! I have no idea what Vector control, and weight-pendulum stabilized means. Maybe you have something that explains? Thanks for sharing.

  • Very cool!

  • @vectorkites

    oh i see. thanks for that. is this for sale then?

  • Thats is just so neat, but can't figure it out. Got a build thread?
