Goodyear GA-28B

[Flying Monkey fab]

We do this not because it is easy but because it is hard.

Never designed a plane before, what could possibly go wrong?

Anyway, as far as I can tell no one has ever built a flying model of this so I'm going to give it a whirl.

The first iteration is going to basically be an FT delta with some changes for cosmetics.

Wish me luck, I'll be posting updates here.

Well, I wish you luck I guess. This looks like an interesting build.

contra rotating props? Would helped against torquespinn at take off´s....
Unique airplane types!!
5 such VTOL types was in prototype/design stages.. : http://www.airwar1946.nl/whif/L46-USNVTOL.htm

Isn't that the pogo? If so, flew.ok but wouldn't transition to lamd very well

Plan to use coax props on later iterations, the first one is just using a C pack.

Power pack C twin or the single motor pack? If you’re going to use a single motor I’d expect some torque roll problems.

Just a single c pack. I'm not going for vtol for this first iteration.

Um, how would you get those 2 props to spin opposite of each other? Aren't they both using the same drive shaft hole?

If I have some success with the single there are coax motors out there for purchase. $$$
They are basically two motors with a shaft within a shaft and will need two ESC to run.

eg as this. motor in front haver a hollow axle that the rear motor axle goes through to prop.

Yup, only the center one will be active in this first iteration though.
