VTOL RC Turbine Powered Jet

If you're an RC fanatic, don't forget to subscribe, since I am regularly uploading great video's...

This is absolutely new to me. The folks at Hover Copter have created a vtol hybrid rc jet, powered by a turbine. I am sure they have a ways to go, but holy crap!

Am I counting right???

1 electric prop near each wingtip for hover roll control, 2 tail electric props on tail for hovering pitch control (probably also assisting in roll input)? I'm assuming by size, turbine provides most of lifting thrust. But does it also divert thrust for forward flight???

you're correct. the props are just for stability. The turbine though rotates to progress to forward flight.

However, there is another vid in my vids of a brand new rc harrier prototype. Kit is done, they are just working out the VTOL, and yes, it is real VTOL turbine. No props and nothing hinky.

probably takes up a lot of power.

I remember this jet couldn't take off and go into a hover by it self, the down thrust was too close to ground.

now make the engine tiltable for forward thrust

You should just suspend a break-away-weight to the bottom and have it knot release itself when it's a certain distance above ground , I would think a fishing line reverse tether would keep the craft taut until it reaches that more stable 10 foot boundary . Nice design .Either that or some veins downstream the thrust flow . It's cool to see how my design might work when built .

Gyros ?

[Mymariodude]

the sound just screeched my ears O_o but kinda cool

[SleepEat3D]

Would it not be easyr to hook all the gyros up to a vector system ?

@WEESTRAWZ btw I didnt know the rotors where called because I'm not English you silly..

That would the the talk of the Club for years.
