Art-Tech's new RTF OSPREY V-22 Tiltrotor Aircraft demo, plus my old heli experiments. ~NightFlyyer~

*Please read this before commenting.* Unusual Helicopters did not spring up by Magic! Many of us pioneered some pretty interesting machines which have shaped the future of model aviation. Here you will see some of the ones I invented with documentation and pictures. When the Real Osprey's came out, my super machinist friend, Dave Raubinger and I connected the 2 sets of Hyperfly mechanics together to make a tilt rotor some 20 years ago. He still has the prototype and I may get it back to see if I can resurrect it with today's electronics. There were no computer mixers, speed controls or reverse rotor blades being manufactured back then, so we put it on hold. Now today, Art-Tech, a well renowned R/C Manufacturer, has made one for us to all enjoy. It is a very ingenious design.
Today, you can buy the Rotormast V-22 for about $1700. It goes full transition. http://www.rotormast.com/rm/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=194

Different than it's MASH looking K-22 sister, this V-22 is pretty scale looking and a total blast to watch fly.
I intend to put the FAA Flight Version of Tiny Brite Lights on it so I can fly it in the dark better.

Like I said in the video, I was never trying to sell anything in my lifetime of R/C experiments. I worked at Kraft RC systems and was in the business. I just simply want spur your imagination to improve on what we did before. It makes no sense to keep going back to first grade every 10 years.

Vic Kmosek of Victor Engineering manuffactured some of the most successful and accurate battery chargers of all time. But he has now retired and moved back to Belgium and no longer is in business. Besides, LiPo's have replaced NiCads and NiMh batteries and his chargers have been fazed out along with the batteries.

I would appreciate if you would please take a moment rate the video, subscribe, and stay tuned for more RC Television shows. And if you you know of others that would like to see this video, please pass it on.

Thanks kindly for all your support.

[LTF85199]

so it does not transition huh?

[NightFlyyer]

@LTF85199 Well if flies forward fast enough for me, as you can see, but to go into full forward flight, would require an additional set of Ailerons, Rudders, and an Elevator. Then you would need about an 8 ch radio and 3 more servos. So for what this is, it still looks pretty cool to me in the air.

[danshyu]

Awww, I was hoping the engines can tild the full 90 degree and allows it to fly like a true plane just like the real thing.

[NightFlyyer]

@danshyu Well if flies forward fast enough for me, as you can see, but to go into full forward flight, would require an additional set of Ailerons, Rudders, and an Elevator. Then you would need about an 8 ch radio and 3 more servos....what could go wrong, eh? LOL Thanks.

[photobart1]

How come the motors don't tilt to an airplane mode. Dave you need to redesign this flying machine to act like the real one. Back to your workshop and see if you can attach a servo to allow the blades to tilt.

[NightFlyyer]

@photobart1 The blades do tilt, as you can see better in my NIght Flying video of it, but only about 20 degrees each way. But it flies forward fast enough for me, as you can see, but to go into full forward flight, would require an additional set of Ailerons, Rudders, and an Elevator. Then you would need an 8 ch radio and 3 more servos. So for what this is, it at least still looks pretty cool to me in the air.

Dang it! I leave town for a week and you go and get something really frickin' cool! lol. Can't wait to see it fly in person when I get home. Great video, Mr. Herbert. That's awesome!

I love how all of your videos are so well put together. I love hearing about the history behind all of the stuff we take for granted these days. Makes you really respect the time and effort that went into today's technology.

[xLWRC]

isnt it anymore selled or why dont i find it

[thechoosendude]

You could easily make it do full transition with one of those $39 programmable Exceed 6-channel radios.

Throttle, rudder, aileron, elevator on four channels. Make a designated fifth channel control by the variable rate nob to control the pitch of the rotors.

I am interested in Quad coptor flight but most seem to be a bit expensive to learn on. Will this be a better alternative in learnig to fly a quad coptor than a trditional helicoptor. Thanks agin for your great vids.

[aronisink1]

Wonderful video. You should be on the history channel. Thank you for the lesson. I'm new to the hobby and I find it always best to learn about the history of any thing your intersted in to futher advance. . We are lucky to have such an experienced flight specialist so easily accesable. I am also vey interested in Quad coptors but want to have a foundation in helicoptors first.. Thanks again.

[beverke7]

@beverke7 sorry but cannot put link (just add dot were I wrote it and delete the spaces after be) :-)

[beverke7]

hi Dave, if you find the time, please check this vid, this one goes to awesome forward airplane flight and back to heli mode, youtu(dot)be / 5ySVGx71SSI

Enjoy !

[rockonmyfriend]

now make it all one bladed props ;P

[megaflyer99]

one hell of a list of fames-to-claim man!

[MrDippledork]

I HAVE TO SAY THE SAME THANKS FOR TAKING MY WORD wpockl

[wpockl]

Great videos! I had to subscribe. You are an rc god!
