"..I bought a cheap Rc car.." "..don't break that, it was expensive!"
I mean, it's relative.
For example, I don't think many would consider a 'cheap' private jet to be a disposable toy.
Bro at first decide what u wanna say cheap or expensive
If the cheapest rc car is 200 ...its still expensive
@@alsigamerr9939 bro first understand what relativity means
@@niklask1651 that's where relativity comes in, in the rc hobby 80$ rc car is considered cheap compared their 400$+ standard rc cars.
Looks like the problem is most youtbers trying to make ground-effect vehicles only use speed to generate lift. The original machines used engines to blow air under the wings for huge lift at low speeds, then use rear engines when specific speed and lift are reached.
Maybe you could use an internal duct system to pull air from above the vehicle and redirect it under the wings and backwards, if only for takeoff/landing/low speed travel.
Also, remodel the wings to maintain the high-pressure air bubble. It's losing pressure meaning you need higher speeds to maintain the necessary pressure.
"maintain the high-pressure air bubble" like an engine bell from a rocket?
Sounds legit. I think that's how hovercrafts work, so it should do something, even if that relegates it to an even-lower flight envelope. It looked like he had the basis of that in mind when he made a sort of bowl over his RC car, but then seemed to forget what his plans were when he put the ducted fan way in the back, screwing up his CG and counteracting his "flying aerofoil tail" concept by blowing high-V/low-P air under it.

Who do you think you are these days? I don't even recognize you anymore.
Dude! Years from now, when you're a famous aeronautical designer, students will watch these vids and see your engineering journey. Keep up the great work.
I don't like rctestflight videos under 15 minutes long. I get so into them that it sucks when they end. You're such a tease!
You could use the leftover car parts to do a ground effect car, just the other kind that used to be used in F!. Perhaps even a Gordon Murry style "fan-car".
Seconded!
This was what I though of when I read the title. Btw, they are using ground effect/venturi tunnels in F1 now as well. Not fans though, just the venturi-tunnels ;D
This is what I had in mind before I watched the vid.
whats going on in that house???
Į
I like this ground effect series. Make more!
The sneak peek is beautiful! And I really love the idea of having wheels on a plane. This was such a cool video!!
Yeah, if you've ever done a cheap "lost foam" mold, using packing tape around your plug is a good way to do it since the resin doesn't stick.
It reminds me a bit of this RC model called the Hydrofoam, the underside is shaped like a catamaran, and it can drive over water, it can fly, and it can drive over grass. And you are right, it has some hovercraft like features. Basically the single wing spans across the entire length of the aircraft, with a big rear wing that spans across the entire width of the aircraft.

That brushed motor is insane, I've never seen a brushed motor that sounds like that or has that kind of power
They are freaky, I had a 1:10 scale Nissan that was using a brushed motor and it went like a rocket 🤣
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the work this man is doing to entertain and educate us with his amazing videos? Man thank you very much.
It's pretty sad that you keep posting " can we all take a moment to..." on popular videos just so that you get likes.
We all appreciate his videos, why else would we watch? Stop posting the same copy/ paste comments on multiple videos.
He does it for the income too I would imagine. There are a lot of people who would like to get paid to do their hobbies, doesn’t seem like much of a sacrifice at all.
Can we take a moment to wonder who it was who started this "Can we take a moment..." craze and think about what punishment would be fitting? Ostracism? Withdrawal of pizza rights?
He was probably one of those happy-clappy religious types i see in American films that stops the flow of people having a good time by asking the group to thank his invisible friend for the good time he just stopped!
Please, no more Americans saying ""Can we take a moment..."!

Pretty cool! Still one of the better RC car airplane conversions I’ve seen on RUclips even though it didn’t perform like you wanted! So awesome!
I love your projects! Would like to see a very large multi-engine (EDF) with sailplane style wings and several hours of endurance for a ultra-long range cross country flight.
The words EDF and sailplane, endurance should not be used in the same sentence.
Jokes aside, EDF's have poor efficiency. (the ready made EDF's available on the market)
Custom made EDF's have scope to be efficient
@@oadka Oh, I know. I was thinking something like a heavy lift glider that can carry a big 20kG payload. So a lot of thrust from EDF on efficient wings to carry a big payload.
#Hitydesign
I love the ground effect idea. More please! Your videos are great, and you're a great innovator... the world moves forward by the work of people like you.
I love all your projects that work great but I think including the ones that don’t is what makes the channel really great.
"blinkist - I like to let other people think for me and tell me what I think instead of thinking"
Keep goose steppin friend. Your fuhrer will thank you.
A symmetrical airfoil does still generate lift. And the horizontal stabilizer is also used on a conventional aircraft to generate either lift or downforce in order to keep the moment balanced in cruise. Cool project!
The main body addition is basically a large cup doing little in my mind other than slowing it down. Some plastic wrap over the front to smooth out air flow and stop the cupping of air may help.
I just spent the better part of 4 hours on my Saturday morning watching your channel. I might be grown up but damn I wanna go get some RC stuff today.
That's how I started, 9 years ago. Suggest you to watch his really old videos building crappy planes with rudimentary materials, they were even better IMHO. It made me copy several of his designs. Nowadays he's working with cutting edge techniques and materials, I can't keep up
@@hotpot321 Dude I've been watching all his stuff from 12 years ago! Can't look away
The height of ground effect (without skirts or similar) depends on the wingspan. Half a wing span is the rule of thumb there and it almost instantly vanishes when you exceed that height. So... model ground effect planes a a notorious pain in the rear.
When the plane gets big it also becomes very stable.
I had one of those cars, drove it into the ground for like three years, it’s a beast
I think putting the fan on the front of the vehicle could be a great thing, the CG in front the EDF pushing the nose down
This is my favorite RUclips channel, what I want to be able to do!
Knowledgeable guy. He’s an aeronautical, software, and electrical engineer.
That sneek Peak image looked sick
Yeah, looked like something you might build to set/break an RC land-speed record.
Another amazing invention and video. You are the most entertaining tech youtuber out there. Keep up the great work.
Any day a new rctestflight video comes out is a good day
This is a brilliant idea. Great job, I can’t think of anything that’s wrong about it but I’m sure someone will see something, just remember that any imperfection, IS a perfection.
Everything can always be made better...Yes was but need something to make it turn.N a propeller n front to stay n the air...
This is a great video. Please don't give up on this idea it's great to see content like this thank you from New Zealand.
Now a word from Blinkist.. "I love books and podcasts, but sometimes I have a tough time fitting them into my busy schedule. I'm totally not reading from a script, and you can totally not tell from the way I'm speaking."
I enjoy your attempt here - I especially like how you experimented with different wing lifting aspects: i.e. the conflict between Bernoulli and Coanda. Good try - A+ for effort.
I was looking to design a ground effect vehicle years ago and came across some rules of thumb from a dude who made a personal watercraft sized one. The rules of drag change a lot in this regime and the craft he built had the chord length be the length of vehicle, and longer than the span. Making it so the vehicle can't fly out of ground effect.
What was his craft called?
I gotta know who drives the Miata, that's CLEAN!
I don't know how I stumbled upon this but this is amazing to watch.
(and it was trippy to see the mm velodrome in a random vid)
Love all of these videos, please continue doing the autonomous boats!
When I get an inline ad like this I list it and skip past it and make sure I DON'T buy off of that list. Hey, I"m doing my part.
*@**7:11** "It certainly didn't fly well" is a relative statement. I've seen some finished projects that weren't that stable lol.*
*Your expertise likely surpasses mine but I wonder if you could design a ground effect wing chord that dumps lift past a certain angle of attack.*
That ekranoplane looking plane is cool in start
Neat! I made a wing out of a piece of similar insulation I found by the road and used it in a glider I made for my 6yo son, using free stuff means he can break it and my head doesn't explode. I had no idea it was something anyone who knows what they are doing would do. I covered it in high fiber content house cladding paper, it has a slick surface that is great for similar uses.
the amount of work you put into this...the rc car was literally the cheapest part
your sneek peek looks cool
You got to try out those techniques and you learned a ton so i would say this was a humongous win.
I feel like this guy has a whole year worth of monthly uploads just implementing some decent developmental improvements. Like even on the solar plane v4 realistically.
The sneak peak was a great idea. That fuselage looks amazing.
Super cool, the whole time I was thinking of dodo flying cars from GTA.
Takes me back to the time you put a duct fan on the new bright ferrari and you guys screwing around at Walmart 😂 good times 💯
Very cool. Those WL cars are popular around the world. All kinds of crazy upgrades and speeds.
"Bought a cheap one" 10 sec later "Jesus, dont break that it was expensive"
The funfetti can was awesome!
Keep working on this! You're working on my dream project!!!! Awesome job!
Love the Jerry Baker Memorial Velodrome cameo!
Was interesting to see a Ground Effect car that isn’t the usual type of Ground Effect lol, great video
"I bought a cheap 1:14th scale buggy"
A few seconds later
"Don't break it, it was expensive"
this would be super fun to fly over a large flat area like a relatively open flat desert. it would also be useful in said areas where - as there is no road access.
I’m liking the fun fetti epoxy mixing cup
Congratulations to 420k subscribers.
Nice
"...so I bought a cheap 1/14 scale buggy..." and in the next clip: "Don't break that, it was expensive..." :D
oh boy new 4am upload to watch
That's a win in my book. Extremely interesting content and butter smooth. Subbed
Excited to see the speed racer!
"So I bought a cheap 1:14 scale buggy [...] on the internet"
slightly later, someone else driving it: "Jesus don't break that, it was expensive!"
I'd call a flying car a win, even though it effectively wasn't a ground effect vehicle. Utilizing boundary air alone is a complicated process that most people won't grasp the difficulty of. You've done well overall in your vids.
This is exactly what I needed this morning.
This is a big improvement on the last design. I feel like you're almost there! Please don't give up. Refine the design and retry =D
That sneak peak reminds me of a ground hovercraft I made out of scrap foam and electronics. It worked SOOOO well lol I need to find that super old vid and post it.
Your voice is deep and satisfying
The wltoys 14001 is a awesome very budget friendly entry into hobby rc with out breaking the bank goes as fast & built better than most 300 entry cars & cost less than half the price!
“Don’t break it it was expensive” “ do you think it can drift?”
The EDF also doesn't respond as fast which might affect handling a big deal
football fields, or even a tennis court or any place with outdoor bleachers & a long flat surface are great places to run R/C. the elevated PoV bleachers give is great , and the long flat surface allows you to have room to run.also mall parking lots during off hours or holidays
the build lquality is magnificent.
I saw your sneak peek at the end, Daniel. It looks like you & I may be bucking for a marine speed record this summer. I'm currently building a hydroplane & expecting to exceed 100mph with two counter rotating EDFs. See you on the water!
The cross-section shape of your wing is perfect... for creating lift. Turn the wing upside-down. Find images of NACA airfoil shapes. Make on of those... but mount it upside-down.
That much success on a first try seems pretty good to me. I'm confident that with a few tweaks here and there you'll get it to do what you want.
Bro...... You're the modern day Da Vinci!!!
That looked really effective actually.... 😎
Loving these videos, manage to make even the smallest details interesting.
My windchime is strung with 100 pound Kevlar and I thought it would last forever. It lasted three years, only a little better than the 30 pound mono-filament line I put on it originally.
In an age of brushless motors, People often underestimate how much power a brushed motor can have….
Somewhere I’ve got an old car that I put a Kyosho Magnetic Mayhem motor in and it was an absolute beast with the right gearing and a 3s lipo.
I think a lot of the stigma of brushed motors being underwhelming has a lot to do with the pre-lipo batteries of the day.
Make no mistake, brushless is better, but a good brushed setup can still be a blast. Even the cheap, venerable Titan 550 12T will will ballon tires right off the rims.
Great video as always! Do you think you could do an ardurover tutorial on how you built your autonomous boats? I’d love to see that
There's a thing about sailing and flying. If you're sailing, sail. If you're flying, fly. Make something that will fly, then start cutting.
Yours must be the coolest house on the block. As ever outstanding content
Hey, its not an ad, but for RC things you can print with Filamentarno Aerotech filament, so project will be super light
The car he used is the WLToys 144001... one of the best budget buggies; a clone of the LC Racing chassis. They a truggy 144002 and a the brushless of the same chassis 144010. They also versions that have a slightly longer chassis; 124018/124019 with a brushed motor and brushless as 124016/124017.
The problem with this is also one of stability. You need a geometry that has a speed-dependent lift coefficient, and one that doesn’t tend to generate extra lift at high angles of attack. Delta wings are good for this and can provide good yaw stability as well. This thing wants to pitch up and yaw around because it’s wide and has a high deviation in lyft with its orientation. The airfish 8 has a good airfoil shape to follow, I’d give it more taper at the front towards a more diamond ♦️ shape with a wider chevron towards the back, and downward flare to produce a dynamic pressure pocket that dissipates the moment you leave ground effect. It should sit high in that cushion of air, with little aerodynamic lift out of ground effect, but with restoring force that has a forgiving deviation in its inherent aerodynamic shape: it’s JUST passable as a “dart” out of ground-effect, but just under a “glider” in ground effect.
I admire this kind of people!!
Bravo Sir! That is an epic conversion ❤❤
3 videos in a month dayum!
"I bought a cheap RC car". Next sentence, "don't brake it was expensive" ... lololol
This guy is so wholesome
Ever since i first heard about the ekranoplan, I've thought why don't we make cars like that? As someone who mostly gets highway miles and doesn't keep an eye on tire pressure, this seems like a perfect idea: no rolling resistance, tires last longer, more efficient. And with today's drone stabilization it should be even more achievable.
Perhaps an f1 ground effect race league could draw interest
Sneak peak is dope
Remember way back when you did a heavy lift aircraft? You loaded it with bolts until it wouldn't take off, I'd love to see you revisit that idea. May have a set power plant, and see how different airframes compete?
Wow. Are you a magician!
Your voice is soothing
Hmm, only 2 kinds of RC vehicles, those that have crashed and those that are going to crash.... Flew a hang glider for years, but a long time ago. My understanding of ground effect was that when low to the ground, the air pressure under the wing was greater than the pressure on top of the wing, so you would glide farther/your glide ration was longer, with ground effect than whey you were up in the air. Looks like the flying one at first had an upside down air foil, with the camber on the bottom side of the wing. As for flying wings, they do have a bit of reflex in them for pitch stability, but I seem to remember that it was accomplished with wing twist/warping, so angle of attack near the fuselage was lower, and angle of attack at the wing tip was 10 or so degrees higher/more positive. There was one flying wing, can't remember the name, Sundance maybe, with very high wing camber/foil thickness and that reflex all along the trailing edge, along with the wing twist. High lift, slow speed, and very difficult to stall. Looks like you are having fun.
Trying to remember, but isn't ground effect also linked to wing span? As in longer wing span/higher aspect ratio = better ground effect and also ground effect comes into play higher off the ground than short aspect ratio.
6:46 when you type come fly with me on GTA VICE CITY
What are doing step-crafty😳😏
Very cool project!! Mad scientist of flight!
You should've made much bigger wings, and big rudder - and included that in the video
