very nice Sergiot,welcome to the VTOLS,i have done a twin also but never got it to hover over a few seconds,my build thread is in here though

[v22chap]

Looks good ,,, looks like it has a little yaw problem until it gets out of ground effect ,,or is that just video itis ... ;) :D
Have you flown it in just airplane mode yet ?
Do you plan to transition ?
Good luck and keep us posted on its progress.

Concerning yaw, there is no problem, it was one of my first flight, i had to get used to.
I have yet flown in airplane mode;the model is easy to pilot .
I have to test the transition from airplane mode to hover
Thank you for your questions

[v22chap]

That is great to hear ,,,Good luck ,,keep up the good work and keep us all posted as the project continues.

Nice would you mind sharing you radio configuration and motor battery specs?

[sergiot78]

Motor: 2 axi 2212/20 for propulsion with Lipo 3s 2100mah, giving 12 mn in hover .Propeller 10*4.7
Radio: 1 channel for roll and motor differential power control
1 channel for yaw (differential rotation of motor axis )
1 channel acting on power for both motor
1 channel for pitch command , and acting on a additionnal motor under the duck .
For that I use Royal Evo 9, easy to use for mixer definition

Hi Sergiot,
excellent work !!
I would like to achieve such a plane !!!
Do you use any gyro ?


Another French guy

[sergiot78]

One gyro is used for pitch, and another one for roll

Is it possible that you could make plans of your design Sergiot as I'm thinking I would really like to try this. Also could you post specs like gyro types. Also a diagram of your electronics would be awesome.

I'm also very very very insterested in plans ...

Hello Guys ,
I will edit plans of my Vtol, but you have to wait some months, because I am re designing the model, lets say in a more esthetical way .
As you can see on you tube, the model was just for testing
Be patient !

[Corinator]

I actually liked how it looked as is LOL :) :D I like the whole prototype test bed look of it. Well anyway on a later note, Have you gotten it to transition form forward flight to hover? I am planning on using the feigao ready to install gearboxes (2 of the most powerfull ones) and 2 GWS PG-03 gyros, and a 1800 mah 3S Lipo ( of which I already own). My question for you is what props did you use, and do you think my setup will work.

Hey Sergiot, nice work.

Do the propellors turn in opposite directions? If so, what brand propellors are you using? I can't seem to find a 10x5 pusher prop anywhere.

Thanks

Hi, iconnary,
I've been also looking for such props. I've found these GWS slowfly 10x4
.5 at Todd"s Model shop :

Hi Sergiot,
excellent work !!
Q: do you use CCPM mode in your radio setting?

this is my Vtol project but not yet finished.

for yawing and forward/ backward i used fin, not yet utilized axis motor.

not bad Sergio, not bad at all, but I gotta ask a question how did you used differntial power on the both motors to get roll?

[RCvertt]

Very inspirational! I better post something soon or change my name to RCnoplane :(
