The Aurora Flight Sciences Goldeneye 50, 80, and 100 are worthy of mention in the tail sitter categories.

Tilting body
http://www.freewing.com/FlightVideo/Has anyone built a tilting body like shown and has been done by Scaled Composites ?
Flight videos three of them you HAVE to see !!!! http://www.freewing.com/TiltingBody/ Just need a screw jack to tilt the body, unique landing gear and keep the fuselage free from the wing. Yes, I want to build one. Any help would be appreciated. |

I built a plank style wing with independent halves like the freewing but no fuselage or center section. (two motors, two esc's, two batts, two receivers, one elevon on each side) I called it the "Inverter" because it could turn around by inverting on itself.
It needed gyros to regulate roll because in that configuration, a roll command commands a roll acceleration not the roll rate. It wasn't fun to fly so I eventually locked the halves together -- and was able to unlock them with a servo to perform the inversion maneuver ... then shelved it. If you want to build a freewing go for it, but be prepared to face more control difficulty than is obvious. |
