The launching of a Timber jet

- Had to think outside the runway on this one. The first time was easy, not this time. To the left, to the right, in the weeds, and broke the gear again. Finally a hand launch out of the cab was the solution.

LOL. Awesome work. 10/10. Give vectored thrust (yaw only) a shot. It works great to overcome the lack of aerodynamic steering from not having prop wash over the rudder and lack of mechanical steering via the tailwheel due to not having the prop wash make the elevator effective either at slow air speeds with this type of conversion. Can't wait to see what else you come up with!
I was thinking of Y-ing off the rudder with another servo for a steerable rear wheel. A wheel right off the servo horn. lol
Do it@@flyasakite1781
Looks like something you would do to a timber
@@flyasakite1781 The issue with that is you still won't have downforce on the tail to make that wheel able to steer mechanically. Source: many crashes with the Bush Viper trying the same before going to vectored thrust. 😂
Im living for the moster you created. Love the truck launch keep posting and ill keep watching
I'm surprised it survived. We had a blast getting it off the ground!
I’m going to subscribe just for this video
Mav shes pulling to the left...no the right no the left! You guys are off the charts! Lol
Happy flying!! Thanks for tuning in
10 out of 10 for sure.
We tried and tried. No way was I going home without getting it in the air
Love it 😊
We really appreciate you checking it out, thank you. A few more mods and we'll get flying of the ground next time. Maybe
@@flyasakite1781 subscribed 🤘🏽
Yes🤘🤘
LOL. 👍 10/10
Thank you!
Have you tried one of the "up-start, bungee" glider launch systems?
I have not. What's it all about?
@flyasakite1781 It's like a real long rubber band. You would have to.
Look it up online. It is roughly several feet of surgical tubing tied to several feet of thin nylon line nailed in the ground, Think sling-shot. If you do look It up online, it's called an upstart for radio control gliders. Or talk to some rc glider guys. I made one and used it on an edf that was a real POS. It did get it launched up in the sky.But the jet was a real crapper.
@@edgaeta2001 I haven't seen them but hearing you describe it gives me horrible or I mean great ideas.
@flyasakite1781 They work really well but you have to be very careful. If it snaps loose, it can ruin your day. I used them with my gliders in the past.. Watch some videos about rc glider launching.
There are several rc bungee launch videos on RUclips, I just finished watching some.
It's too heavy
lol I like making flying boat anchors. But it is for sure a tank
