RC V-22 Osprey Testflight #3 with jet-engine (full fuselage)

Third testflight.
The Weather was very foggy, wet and cold so I decided to adjust a third gyro first before making a further flight. Meanwhile, for the next flight I have mounted 3 gyros, (aileron, elevator, yaw)
All systems are working very good.
Different to other choppers is the delay caused by inerta (18kg without fuel).
One thing is also very interesting. When getting more speed the nose goes upwards and I have to push the stick maximum forward to fly in the same height. Ok, the flaps where set to maximum but I did'nt expect a reaction like that.
Next steps are:
- Testing with 3 gyros
- When sucessful I'll do some flights with a bigger radius and speed.
- Flight with tilting the nacelles 20degrees forward (freom vertical position)

model is fairly big, you should be able to add retractable landing gears in it. And lights. =3

[gobyheli]

@biomech

retract is onboard and still works (Gietzendanner)

lights follows when flight tests are finished

You should sell these cuz I vant von :3 How much did it cost to make it?

@KoolThing14

Hi,

have no kit available.

Maybe in future

[7249xxl]

own disign or you buy it beceause thats amazing i want one

[gobyheli]

@7249xxl

Hi,

It's a self made fuselage. You want to make the mechanic parts yourself?

[robertcoxon]

you are a very talented man indeed, was this built only by yourself or was it a team project??. just out of interest...how badly were your hands shaking after it touched down?lol. hope you can get the newer twisted blades up and running, they will change everything,any chance of a walk around video showing the fun stuff inside?

loads of questions...cant do them all lol, best of luck in the future with her...p.s.....how many gyros do you have helping your hand-eye work?

[initialsareAK47]

You should try to make it horizontal flight capable, also the reason the nose is going up is because the propelers are supposed to be tilted a little while hovering around, to hover in place the should be straight, and to fly they should be sideways. Still learning about rc's, plan to construct 1. any advice on electrical components will be helpfull. i plan on making a regular beginers plane.

Dear santa...

[LETSD0THIS]

Does it go any higher?

so it hovers but can it fly?

[piotrstapor]

I think your nose-up problem is due to pendulum effect, common in all rotary wing aircraft.
