  • how dose it achieve forward thrust?

  • When the wing moves downward the lift vector is tilted forward and pulls the aircraft in the the thrust direction.

  • Pretty good post. I just stumbled upon your channel and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your video posts.

  • Neat website you all have, I am a webmaster myself & I got a few neat ideas from this one.

  • cool :) thanks for sharing this video :)

  • Do you notice how much the tail vibrates?? If this had contained passengers, I'm sure that they would be on their way to the hospital upon landing. Broken bones, concussions, whiplash and cuts and bruises, not to mention white knuckles.......

  • Dune.

  • Excellent! 

  • I was browsing micro thopter vids and I stumbled on this monster, huge :O

  • You made some decent points there. I looked on the internet for the issue and found most individuals will go along with with your channel.

  • Wow, really nice! though gliding might be quite impossible as the wings will stop in weird positions....
