The rear end really reminds me of the space transport from Space 1999.

Kudos man!

Space 1999! Use to follow the whole series.

Too bad, can view the video now. Its block at my location now.

Did you participate in Singapore Amazing Flying Machine Competition 2009?

Yes, we tried, but for some reason, the day of the competition, the gyros seem not to work properly. Anyhow it was not as stabil as it is now.

Only now, I am starting to enjoy flying it, before, it was very frustrating. It is one of the hardest project I have ever done. Crash course on gyros, heli handling and massive mixings!

The most important lessons from this project are, when doing new and experimental project, time must be available. Rushing just doesnt work. Secondly, sheilding from EM noise when using gyros is very very important. Lastly, support from friends is invaluble.

Now that phase one is complete, phase 2 has started. Will post update soon, once it is ready.

cheers

Good one. Now you just need a nice airframe to wrap it around.

we need more of this kind of hobby work in Singapore ...... real engineering

thanks for sharing

[bigfilsing]

very impressive !! Well done
Anybody who has ever tried this kind of thing will know the hours and patience you must have put
Top stuff

I'll be posting the video link in a VTOL project i'm involved in on RC groups

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...520712&page=26I'm sure you'll get some congrats over there too

Cheers

Very nice. Saw it displayed during the safmc competition, and here it is flying...

BTW, wat are the ducted fan and esc brand/specs, if u don't mind sharing...?

I can fully understand if it's top secret

I experimented with VTOL but found that ducted fans can't develop enough power without the ducts... And real-life electronics is not ideal, even if on paper the thrust is balanced - real-life is something else...

1)Main Fan is J-power 3700kv about 300w motor, 64mm
2)ESC dualsky 40amps ESC*2 and 25 amp*1
3)Pitch fan is tamazho 3700kv with gws impeller cut down to 3 blades with tamazho 55mm fan casing.
4) GYA352 gyro for roll
5)gy401 for pitch
6)esky headlock gyro for yaw
