vtol

sorry for the poll. I thought that the bronco would work, but it wont:( and I dont know how to delete the poll. so now I am building a mini guinea for the VTOL project. if anyone wants to join you are welcome to!

Have you ever had a project that has kicked your butt? I chose the VTOL bi-copter approach 11 years ago, 7 years ago, 1 year ago, and now. Vibrations, stability, and lack of experience with the software got the best of me time after time. Well, I am back at it and making progress. Always...

I’m developing the Y3 tilt VTOL plane. I have encountered a problem with the pitch axis, which exhibits oscillations when the plane is flying in the air. I have attempted to modify the PID values several times, but the oscillations remain. I would appreciate any help or guidance on how to...

A number of years ago I wanted to explore the area of bi-copter VTOL's and was unsuccessful due to vibrations problems I could not solve which caused wild gyrations and frustrations with the FC. Fortunate that I put aside the beast and going to attack it for the third time. In the meantime...

Hello guys , I am currently working on a VTOL(Quadplane). I did a radio calibration Qgroundcontrol and the channels are proper (not reversed )in quad mode. but as soon as I switch into fixed-wing mode THE elevator channel reverse. Can anybody help me out in reversing the channel for the...

Specs: Length: 32" Wingspan: 23" AUW: 600g Top Speed: ~80mph Flight Time: ~10 minutes (vertical takeoff, forward flight cruising, and vertical landing) Parts I use and recommend: Motors: https://amzn.to/3qXXIU7 Propellers: https://amzn.to/3dMu52E ESC: https://amzn.to/3wmjiD0 Battery...

I thought I would start a thread on this project cause I think it’s really cool and comes with unique challenges. So far I’ve built a tricopter to get the hover to a place I can work with to add a fuse and wings. That was maybe 2 weeks ago. I then built the fuse and wings and proceeded to hover...

I like building prototype and experimental planes from history and i stumbled upon a picture of a dornier do 31 VTOL cargo plane and it got me looking at the dornier company. although i would love to build a do 31, the VTOL programming is beyond me.... however i was looking at some other stol...

I designed this about a year or 2 back and I remade the plans so I'm uploading them here so i can attach the link to my YouTube video. Feel free to check it out! DIY Mini Drone into RC F-4 PHANTOM! [FREE PLANS] - YouTube And here's the plans:

In anticipation of SpaceX's sn8 15km starship hop, I've decided to start my own space program;) First up, we need to start small, so I'll be building the famous 'starhopper' vehicle: After this, I would like to move to a full 'starship' that can fly up vertically, parachute down, then land...

Hi all, I'm sharing my custom flight controller code written for the Teensy 4.0 and MPU6050 IMU. The best summary I've been able to prepare thus far: "dRehmFlight VTOL is a bare-bones flight controller for hobbyists or researchers wanting to get something flying fast with the ability to...

Hi all, I wanted to share my latest VTOL creation: a quadrotor biplane. This type of vehicle configuration offers unique advantages: a small footprint, vertical flight capabilities, high payload capacity, and long endurance forward flight. Stability in hover is achieved similarly to a...

Hi all, Here's my most recent quarantine build while I'm back home with nothing else to do: A full VTOL capable foamy F-35 Specs: Wingspan: 36" Length: 44" Weight: ~900 grams? (haven't weighed since I painted it) Flight controller: teensy 4.0 and mpu6050, custom software Motors: lumenier...

Failure Equals Success Seven years ago this project was a result of using an EDF with a VTOL concept which failed and an offshoot that gave me a new STOL project that is really different and also a first. Anyway, look at the beginning of the video and you see the EDF rotate(using the rudder)...

Hello guys. I'm ocktiy, a RC vehicles enthusiast. I want to start building my first DIY airplane/drone/vtol. My requirements are: max wingspan 35-40 cm, total weight- about 300g, 4 engines(I want to be able to use it as a quad and as a plane). I'd like to use the N50 brushed motors. The design I...

Hi all, I am looking to build my own xvert. I am thinking of using hobby eagle a3 6axis gyro.It has auto hover mode. I am trying to figure out how i would set two mottors to act as yaw (rudder) through the gyro. If anyone knows or done this. Let me know.. A) is the hobby eagle the wrong gyro for...

Hi All Check out the new VTOL tiltrotor that does not have tilting actuators - The rotors self tilt using their own thrust visit http://vogi-vtol.com comments/discussions welcome :-)

Hi all! First time actually posting here. TL;DR It currently looks like this: So a after a few years of flying helis and multirotors, I've gotten myself sucked into all things Flite Test. After building some of the basic designs like the Nutball, Delta and Bloody Wonder, I decided it was...

Check out this new kite/plate/VTOL. it's equal parts huge and amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An8vtD1FDqs

I've been looking for the time and chance for long time to design and build a XFY Pogo like airplane, and now I have it! The goal is simple, build a plane that can take off from its tail and land on its tail....okay, maybe not SIMPLE, but I ma do it. I actually already have a design to try out...
