  • I use an electric motor,Output of 350Watts, produce only 800grams of thrust so the plane have to be kept light!!

    The transition servo is a 7kg torque servo which turns the entire duct 90degrees front.

  • yes, 3 gyros are used for the banking/pitch and yawing

  • Thanks alot guys.

    Anyway to RCsuperPowers. U guys rocks! have been watching your videos and will be ur no.1 fan! Have been getting some tips from your videos

  • Do you not have any ways to redirect the thrust for control? Thrust vents to control it in ah hover?

  • cool!! - RcSuperhero

  • @alexkenenth I think this then require complete inertial stabilisation (3x gyro + 3x accelerometers), or long long practice to fly it, it looks still too unstable in the air

  • looks like fun -great learning project- RcSuperhero

  • Excellent work! Good luck!

  • fart on that fan

  • @PlebScrubber should be :P

  • how do you stop it from spinning around the opposite way as the engine rotates

    how do you stop the torgue making the plane spin?

    is there a second propeller?
