  • This looks great...Micro Mike

  • @Cilanae Thanks for watching and subscribing ! happy times to Micro Mike

  • Nice job, man! Way to go!

  • @crookedtool Man, its been a little bit we gotta kick it soon. have you flown at all this year?

  • very nice! looks like she flys great.

  • @frogs84ss Thanks you and yes it handles better than I could have hoped. I will be so sad if I plant it when I try to convert to forward flight.

  • NICE :)

  • like that beat

  • If you could have 4 propellers perhaps or idk to ballance it in takeoff. If you could get the front propellers to turn foward it would achieve greater speeds

  • IMHO such constructions need halfautomated computer stabilisation like thos toy-drones. I am working on my tricopter concept design.. but with 2 props behind with just horizontal tale. It could survive at any problems like yours... with gliding down.

  • where can i buy one of these pre-built?

  • great design put as video response to others

  • @shoutatthesky not to mention it gives it the ability to turn and maneuver better although of you put gyros in the props then the wings would only be needed for stability and air flow so the air flows over it efficiently like a car OH!! (aerodynamics) that's the word I'm thinking of!

  • @shoutatthesky yes wings ARE necessary for a plane to fly otherwise it wouldn't get in the air... The wings crest a "low pressure area" or a "vacume" (however its spelled) and pulls the aircraft up a VTOL has dual props (or engines) on either sides of the wings for stability and upward motion like a helicopter and if you really want to know more go to google... I'm just really interested in this kind of stuff (plan on flying aircraft) and I thought maybe this could help

  • Fucking awesome! Lol! This shit even real? Imma sub !

  • This is a great start. It looks like you have enough wing surface to sustain flight. The next and harder step is to turn the props to pull it threw the air. Then back to vertical to land. Every thing looks great.
