6 Attachment(s) VTOL time...
Build Log / Posted by steevie / Aug 15, 2008 @ 11:25 AM / 3,929 Views / 1 Comments / Reply
Hello,
After reading the messages of post : http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...hlight=vtolman
I believe that the models of vtolman are fantastic. The model is very simple and if it is not yet capable of flight with the propellers horizontal position, the result is already remarkable. The videos in flight are amazing.

I decided to get into the construction of my first VTOL using the principles of vtolman. I want to try to reduce the maximum weight. I will use the indoor equipment.

Caracteristic :

Wingspan : 750mm
Weight : ~ 400gr
Motor : 2xApache
ESC : 2x Phoenix 10
Propellers : 9"x4,5"
Servos : Orientation motor 2x HS56 / Elevator 1xHS50
