    I'd love to see more of these drones in the consumer market, flying wings with good cameras for recording the ground. I know that for civvie purposes quadcopters generally make more sense as they can hover, but I figure something like faem, ranch and reserve owners could make use of the lower noise, higher efficiency and mission time of flying wing and for everyone else it would be cool to own one.

    Ruddervators (rudder and elevator combined, not tailerons) Tailerons are all flying horizontal tails that are used for pitch and roll (like the F-14!) but great stuff Jay!

    • @normalhuman9260
      @normalhuman9260 9 месяцев назад +5

      Hope this doesn't upset you since you didn't ask me. I found the best way to get good at landing is simply practice. Rather than flying around,just keep flying barely off the ground and immediately land,over and over. Also try to fly high once,and test out your stall speed,see how much throttle yours needs to just barely keep from stalling. I would also consider looking up some tips for landing from actual pilots,there is a term some use called "catching the pillow". It doesn't happen as well on RCs, but normally when flying,if you were to intentionally try to hit the ground,there is a bit of push back that makes it feel like it doesn't want to go down when flying straight. Low throttle,low descent speed,come up to runway and ride it down, right before touchdown,raise nose and drop throttle to below stall speed. Rather than flying onto the runway,you should be stalling onto runway while you're nose is pointing up. Practice this over and over and in no time,you'll be spreading Butter every time.
      I'd still love to see him do a video on it though. I also hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by sharing my two cents. Hope this was somewhat helpful.

    • @BabaYagaFPV

      Buy a VTOL, like a HeeWing T1 or similar. Once you get a good feel for the controls, then start working at horizontal landings. If anything goes wrong at any point, just switch into hover and try again. Or you can just buy a cheap foamy and lots of glue.

    pilots who use flaps should Understand that when flaps are deployed they make more Inboard-located lift. this BAD.!!! because such lift can partially unload the ailerons.!
    in other words, the use of flaps can result in a Reduction of control authority, in Addition to that which occurs due to flying near stall speed.!

    information 3:12 the excessive distance between the elevators and cg will result in a significant amount of damping of responses to elevator inputs.! the mass in the Two CF tail booms significantly increases the amount of tail-heaviness in the model's dom. the main landing gear should be located below the cg; this correctly puts the main lg just aft-of the model's c-m. such incorrect location of the main lg will affect the way an aircraft rotates, at take-off. [ IDEALLY, in most cases, cg is Supposed to be located at THIRTY percent of chord or mac. possession of this fact makes it EASY to know where a cg SHOULD be, for any aircraft. ] it is the opposite of smart to make the tail Heavier, by putting servos there.
    4:06 the prop noise is excessive. a 'stiff' EP prop should be used. more noise equals more vibration. more vibration may cause servo glitching. d

      1 & 4 are correct. 3 is wrong, you buy the ELECTRIC wooden prop. More efficient, you will have better thrust and longer run times. Yes, we will need the correct ratio.. Wayne and Jeff did the math and 16x6 is the solution. Up 1” in diameter and down 1 in pitch.
