WHOA! Awesome! Did you win the contest?

Second video: If you can fly the chipmunk with the copter strapped to it, you have a perfect VTOL

@eyeinthesky........what motor/esc/prop combo are you running?

awesome combination. Especially the second video, the idea of the VTOL is really nice.

btw. what board are you using?
it is kinda shivering just before takeoff.

Its a hoverfly board its shaking on takeoff because the gains are set low because of all the weight

that was cool but it looked like the poor airplane was getting raped by the quadcopter

Thanks Eye!


I am looking to put together a "heavy lifter" for doing some aerial filming. Pretty impressive to see a quad doing that kinda weight.

You might be on to something with the VTOL concept, make a quad-copter attachable under carriage for the plane, attach, take it up, apply plane thrust, fly around, bring it in, apply quad thrust take into hoover, bring it down. epic.

you might want to consider the size of the quadcopter.

If you are going to make a heavy lifter for such a weight a small Quad might not be the best way to go because you´ll need a nice low kv outrunner and also some very BIG propellers. If the motors are too close together you won´t be able to mount props with the sizes needed.

Have you got any limitations in terms of price?

Great Job! This is one of the projects I have on my list to work on next year. I hope I can get one going.

I'd really like to see something VTOL on flitetest. Time for David and Chad to put their heads together!

 

[eyeinthesky]

the avitar heli was VTOL

 

[ananas1301]

the avitar heli was VTOL

True but it was not really perfectly working. It was flying but thats it.

I meant like a X-35B

Ignore the millenial post thing.

That would be AWESOME to see! RCPowers built one a while back but I think they cancelled the project. Or maybe they could build a V-22

 

[Johntra]

I was wondering if an osprey would work. That would be an interesting project

Oorah!!
