   Hi,

   this video …
   Hi,

   this video was made last year.
   End of month I will continue testflights.
   I’ll make video (not a boring like this) and will post it.
   The nacelles are in progress but not ready because its a intricate shape.

   The testfligts will be made without tilting because I have actually no tilted blades (except in CAD). So a maximum tiltangle 30degrees is possible to fly at that time

    how are you gonna make the nacelles rotate 90 degrees with such large blades? well done for cracking it you gotta have balls to do something like that with a £1000 jet turbine engine! although, you could have editted the spool up time down a bit, got a bit boring

    I guess you never flew such a craft before. Its harder to control then a “normal” RC heli.

    hi,

    you’ve done a great job with the v22, if you can make another i would be sure lots of people would be willing to buy one – including myself!

    I am one of a handfull of initial cadre instructor pilots for the CV-22, the USAF Special Operatioins advanced version of the MV-22. It’s a blast to fly, and will soon be combat proven. Good luck on your machine, looks great, and I understand all the dynamics you’re having to conquere to get it to hover and transition to and from Airplane mode. Take care, Jimmh60.

    o Jimh60

    thanks for your idea, it’s very helpful.

    Reading your comment I get the meaning that you have something to do with the “real one” Am I right?

    Best regards from Austria

    RC sailboats are the most peaceful way to enjoy radio control boating. This way are also the hardest rc boats to master – with a nitro or electric model boat you can just open the throttle and blast round the lake.

    Thanks
