VTOL Prop

17.4k karlosdarkness  8.6 years ago

A central mounted twin Engine allows this plane to take off vertically and also land at very low speeds, the plane can be flown conventionally once in the sky but better performance will be found with the rotor not fully tipped forward.

    @karlosdarkness I always get the front or back suddenly flip up after a short time of going up though, even when it -should- be balanced

    @Nickasaurus I've liked using it too land on the side of the volcano, I tried going down inside the crater but it's fine controls aren't good enough.

    @LjSpike props are attached too a single old style block, props are set to plus 20degrees for the top, minus 20degrees for the bottom.

    I really like this design, I moved the rudders to the tail and added 50lbs to the nose to re balance and it flys great!
