RC V-22 Osprey Testflight #4.mpg

The problems with vibrations in the right nacelle are fixed.
So I could test without having the fear that the plane seperates into small pieces due to vibrations.
All systems are working perfect, a big step is done.
Its stable, easy to handle, has enough power.
In the video you can see to tilting 10 and 25deg. by higher speed and a take off with 25deg. transition.
Because of my regular rotor blades more tilting is actually not possible. So next step is to build the twistes blades as shown in the original one.
If somebody could support me with blades it would be wonderful.
So at the end I have to say that I'm very happy that it works now. It was a long developement.
Facts: wingspan over all 3m or 118inch, length 2,2m or 87inch, rotor diameter each 1,4m or 55inch, weight 18kg without kerosine

Any progress from this video? At the end of 2010?

Fantastic work, such an inspiration.

Rob.

Hi,

sorry for the late response.

Actually the main mechanics is made more rigid. This concernd bearings and the carbon-tubes in the wing.

Several changings at the bracket for the jetengine are made. New fuselage, new wing... hmm could say that except the nacelles most every thing has been changed. Hope to fly in March. This year will hopefully be my year. Looks easy but its a lot of thinking and work necessary to do.. It's absolutly no toy

regards

do the rotors transition completely?

[gobyheli]

@ninjaboy552

Hi,

technical it's possible.

During a flight it's not done. I'm testing more and more tiltangle. Actually 35deg.tilt-angle without any problem.

Hallo,

Tolles Video und Modell!

Kannst du jetzt eigentlich schon die Rotoren im Flug komplet drehen und lässt sich das Fahrwerk einfahren?

[gobyheli]

@Fuchssi987

Hi,

Technisch ist das Schwenken um 90Grad im Flug möglich.

Faktisch stehe ich bei 25Grad. Habe aber noch Restpitch zur Erreichung einer höheren Geschwindigkeit zur Verfügung.

Gehe bei den Tests immer 5Grad weiter, mal sehen was draus wird.

Ja, das Fahrwerk läßt sich wie beim Original einfahren.

That thing is BAD ASS. It's been two years since this vid. I think you should make another video of this thing.

Dear Santa...

[Rotormast]

Any more progress on your ship, Have not seen any vids in a long time?

[SUPERSS90]

Dang that's so cool.. How much did it cost?

[TheStarjet]

Why do you need twisty blades? Is this for a fixed pitched cone effect? Or are you referring to variable pitch setup. This is an awesome machine and a credit to you, I have flown helis for 16 years and never seen anything like this!

[schlusselmensch]

Due to scaling effects I suspect that if you do achieve a full transition the aircraft is going to have a scale speed of about 700kts. You've even realized a scale development program duration lol! Now it just needs to have some tiny Marines on board to die in the first crash? Admirable effort!

[helloimmisterj]

wow!!! so ein schönes modell :)

[lolergramCCCP]

Wow, this is amazing... I'd love to see this in full transitional flight... Have you still been working/flying this amazing machine?

[Kwago1]

Yeah MAn! That's definitly what you need to get, well actually, build. I don't think anybody's got a twisted rotor blade out for a V-22 that'll wistand turbine torque. I like that thought for the electric one though. I really wish you luck on this one, cause you might make a fortune if you build one that's electric, and made it as a kit to sell. For that tilt problem you had, couldn't you just attached servos for the flaps then auto adjusting in position for stablizing for flight conversion?

[whitewingsrich]

You can certainly see the difference in speed as you lowered the nacelles. What have you got controlling the nacelles tilt? A screw like tou real V-22 or just a Servo?

Looking forward to see it when it does a full 90 degrees transition and its it full aeroplane mode
