Crash's STOL build log.

Very cool! Can't wait to see this thing. You may have a hard time with the balance only using two rotors, though. It would be a lot easier (IMO-FWIW-not much) to utilize a tri or quad setup.

Oh I'm not saying it will be easy. I may only tilt them up slightly for take off. It will pull it forward and up

We will have to review the STOL rules to determine the legality of this design. Let's see.... Yep, here's the handbook... Hmmm, nothing against pivoting motors. You are all clear!

Yea I remember that thing but I'm not using the motors to just keep it up, it's going to be more like a true osprey when I want to I can tilt them level and fly like normal. Then I could slow down and tilt them up say at a 45 degree and land. I know it's easy to say on here and I'm sure it will take practice to fly that's why I want to go small first.

Am I the only one with three different designs for one contest?

Craftydan · Jun 22, 2013

CR,

I was actually considering a few others myself . . . and all but the first failed miserably early on.

I applaud your tenacity!

CrashRecovery · Jun 24, 2013

Well third design is completed...... I might be able to do flaperons on this one

earthsciteach · Jun 25, 2013

It actually reminds me of the Japanese Okha rocket plane from WWII.

Three entries! Three chances to win...

CrashRecovery · Jun 25, 2013

Don't count any of them yet..... Non have taken off from the ground. I'll just take the award for most attempts to build a stol plane

Come on, now!

Quorneng started off his as a S**L and in less than a week he's a front runner. You still have most of a week left!

earthsciteach · Jun 25, 2013

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

CrashRecovery · Jun 25, 2013

Ok I think I may have created flaps when I built the control rods. Which way
