I need this in my life. The ultimate FPV platform. set this up for long range and explore everything!
Okay.... let's be honest: This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen :D The quad is so amazing. It hovers and you turn your stick forward and suddenly it just fires right away.
Really love the concept and the realization. Keep it up!
That's probably the coolest RC aircraft I've ever seen. XD
That's the same thing that I thought when we I first saw it flying after putting the last screw on. I couldn't believe it.
I'm amazed that Alex never got a chance to fly it he after all is the one who fly's mini quads, loved to have heard his take on it.
I could be wrong but this looks VERY scalable. Building an ultralight like this would be a great next step =)
Love this, AimDroix is creating a whole new generation of both VTOLs and TiltRotors.. Thanks for sharing...
This is the first quad I've ever cared about. This is cool, definitely would look into buying this.
That thing is amazing. What great work put into it. I could see that thing having a clear advantage in drone racing. Well done for sure.
Ian Thomas thank You
I’m seeing this 7 years later. I hope this get another chance at the market. This thing is awesome and I wanted it then and I still want one today.
ASTONISHING - what an imaginative and thoroughly weird (in a good way) design!
Add this to you're store Flite Test!!!!! Like if you agree
Ok :) Maybe a build video too?
would you be a mentor or me, I am doing a junior project. We are building a plane with specific specks and try to get the greatest endurence.
PLEASE
I have alwasys been curious... you guys should start something in which you make ARTF and just make them a little bit more expensive xD
FliteTest Yes Please
More of this please. Really amazing stuff, great engineering.
dude this is awesome! the best tilt rotor quad and vtol tech BY FAR! That dude is a genius.
Thanks, Brandon. We are not genius but we work none stop until the idea works out. Like said in the video, 2 years of work.
Love it! I love seeing these unique and inspiring crafts. Stuff like this keeps the hobby moving and exciting. 3D quads, tilt rotors, I've seen a pentacopter with a 5th motor and prop for forward thrust... What's next!?
That's amazing, there sure are some brilliant minds out there.
Oh, btw, on you Mavic pro review.. It convinced me to preorder one, it's my biggest single RC purchase to date. :)
dude that thing is awesomely fast yet very controllable :-)
that thing left "Back to the future flames" in the air,, sounds awesome also!
the camera man flying the quad in the back was insane
That's Alex (usually) :)
what quad were they flying?
Alex Healy FT 210 it's in the Flite test store
Some nutters flying there and wicked gimbal control too.
thats awesome guys anything that involves a crazy winged servo controlled multirotor frankenstien is cool by me. keep flying. thanks for all the quad help
that guy has a bright future! keep in touch with him so we get to see!
This is pretty amazing guys! Thanks for sharing this :)
AimDroix,
That is simply brilliant! Maybe DARPA should learn from you! Congratulations on a brilliant concept!
Ron
One of your best episodes!
This is an awesome build. Keep up the good work, and keep working with other people.
Very cool design. I always thought this would be the next big concept with drones.
Funny how something can seem so logical only after some brilliant mind dreams it up and shows us that very logic we had not imagined. Impressive!
This is the result of a lot of frustration, crashes, sleepless nights, and all of the founders personal savings. It was not easy but totally worth it.
Good job brother... I would like to fly one of these... I have always thought that the tilt motors would be the way to go but I knew there would be a ton of r&d to get it right.
This is great - what kind of flight time do you get with it, with and without the wing? :) (I'd guess you might get a bigger battery on there with it...)
That looks like it would be a very good camera platform for the other plane reviews flite test does. Fast enough to keep up with EDF, nimble enough to keep up with 3D models and stable enough to get good pictures of straight and level stuff like trainers.
You guys need to add this to the store!!!! It's soooooo cool
this is really a great leap forward in aviation innovation
Sweet product, but those motors sound like they are struggling. With a little bit of pid work. It would be sweet. Also, you are prime to respond to all of these comments, what a great business strategy. I hope to see you in the big picture sometime.
The motor sound of the VTOL are from the PIDs being on the high side. P was a bit high. Like you are saying,with some more tuning time, I should be able to get it to fly better. Responding to comments wasn't actually thought as an strategy, I just started to read the comment and respond to the one that I had something to say. LOL it's really cool to do it. Thanks for those good wishes.
One of the coolest things made here
those are big words my friend. :) thanks!
6:53 the sound it makes instantly reminded me of R2D2 screaming after being launched out of the water on Dagobah. XD
A very clever piece of equipment. Great work guys.
Thanks
Just saw video. Very cool and inovative. Don't know if you have considered adding 1 pusher motor. Shut down 4 quad motors while in cruise flight. Save battery life and extend flying range/time Great for FPV. Keep up the good work.
Dear Mr. Aim droix
If that wing replaced by shape of wing of bird, and the cabin with the had of the bird and that tail too, every year will be Internation competation Aeromodeling...
Bravo...
they brought back the good music!!!
Man that is such a cool idea! I hope this turns into something I can buy for myself!
I know one thing, whoever is flying the chase copter is doing a helluva job filming.
Usually that's Alex :)
Balu it was Alex
Great video on a cool product. Happy to see Mike doing good. Cool product.
I wanna see this upscaled to a full size aircraft. It's also amazing as it is, great work!
That's the goal. :)
AIMDROIX ,LLC I wish you all the best at your efforts
I think this every time I see a unique design in a model!
The first think that I imagined was something like the Avatar dropships.
Something like a plane but with propellers embebed into the wings that can turn 90º and face forward, or stay pointed upwards,
Love the hybrid. Video from the "chase plane" was pretty cool too, well done.
Very impressive work! I figured Alex would have been all over this lol.
Great videos guys!
AAAmazing, best, coolest quad I have seen.
This is awesome, love the design and functionality
This thing has insane maneuvers
Amazing! I want to see it destroy the competition in a race!
Also, I want to know the flight time of the hybrid in hover vs. forward flight (using lift from the wing)
josh hearing you guanine laugh was awesome. you so need one of these. Someday i would like to try one. looks so fun.
PoorBoy Garage and vlog hearing it live was more than awesome. I even had to ask him if he was acting or if it was for real. lol
Wow Flite Test, this is so cool!! What an amazing creation and patent that s*** right away!
Bryan from ON, Can
Go Blue Jays!
hahahahahaha, thats funny Josh, '"its like flying a phantom on crack"!!!!!!!, what remarkable piece of engineering, well done...
haydos781 thank you. Hard work pays off. I'm so happy about the reaction of everyone.
lol the cruise throttle, you weren't kidding.
Sweet, screams like banshee, love it! Thanks for posting.
Very cool little gadget! They should have a feature that shuts down the rear props and rotates them into a neutral position for forward flight.
"Who made this"
"Ah... Team Blacksheep"
*Silence*
lol
It was hard to say that Team Blacksheep made the radio. Trappy didn't pay me so I was struggling to say it.
Whats up with Team Blacksheep I don't get it? :)
I don't get it much either.. lol
No I mean why was it awkward? :) I don't know the story btw awesome product :)
This is a new class of quadcopters, the ones we use now could not compete. Theres no question about it, You should do a showdown.
at least for racing
Why do you think they couldn't compete?
The speed is riduclous on take off. Bit its hard to say.I just think its a whole new ball game. He should do a showdown, But it doesnt have an acro version yet.
Tilting rotors won't be faster than a normal quad. The rear rotors end up with dirty air from the front ones. It is also heavier due to the servos.
yeah true
that dudes fucking genius. I dont knoa how the military hasn't made manned quadcopter or even large unmanned. the maneuverability in them in general would give you so much of an advantage.
Simply genius work from AimDroix!
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AN IDEA FOR YOU..... YOU SHOULD TRY A VARIABLE PITCH PROP. YOU CAN LITERALLY STOP IN MID AIR AND EVEN GO BACKWARD AND HOVER INVERTED. KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!
You guys are rocket scientists
This thing is beautiful.
Wow ! great quad, fantastic design.
That things a freak of nature
Omg that is so freaky fast and cool, I want one now
Holy cow that´s a fast quad!
Phenomenal work, and great innovation on both !
Now make one like that for a person to sit on and fly!! That would be soooo AWESOME!!
I've got a tilt rotor VTOL design I sketched out a few years back that I've been wanting to build a prototype of, but I haven't had the funds. I also haven't taken the time to fully flesh out the details and blueprints with a CAD program, I should probably get on that.
Talk about a perpetual race kwad race car! I'd love to see rotor riot also get their hands on this. Y'all think Michael would like to make that happen?
What an amazing little aircraft.
What if you make the wings part of the drone? So you have 4 wings that become rudders or flaps based on the orientation of the drone. Basically it would have two wings for lift and 4 engines when in flight mode. No need to add extra wings and weight. Although I admit the wings could make it hard to use with wind in hover mode.
This is awesome!!! When can we expect to find this in FightTest Stores? and a build video!! man, good video. Thank you once again for making such an enjoyable experience
James Que very soon! :)
my mind is blown. i don't know what to say but i want one. 👍👍👍
I'll bet the Marines would be interested in a scaled up people sized fleet of these "speed-balls" that can hover too.
that thing is awesome man holy crap.
Sweet shots from the chase/camra drone...
that is some amazing tech guys. looking for more ideas on lofting payloads with very long flight times.
I could see the future car being made its all in my head now
this is actually so cool
If I'm being stupid, please be gentle.I know absolutely nothing about drones or airplanes, but this seems to me a much better design to scale up to a personal aircar.
Love it.. WOW..
and maybe a review on the TBS remote? but give the remote to JScott or Stephan..
Love this config. Great for FPV long flights
You didn't know about the TBS tango? yeah it's awesome y'all should do an episode on it
That is so damn cool! Great job, Michael.
always wondered why people don't use tiltrotors on drones more, less roll on the body, way smoother footage. add some vertical spinning props on the top and bottom to for even more air brakes so it can change directions smoothly
"Its like flying a phantom on crack!" Hilarious
Classic😂😂😂
I hope they have already applied for a patent on that, because one of the big hobby companies is going to steal that design, i guarantee it.
Yes, we have a patent pending. :)
AIMDROIX ,LLC Good, that is great to hear. Protect it well. You've got a really good product idea here for the FPV crowd. I have no doubt that it will scale well to larger craft. and with that the implications for a large scale camera mount with minimal gimbal interference for high speed production camera work is really intriguing, both the fixed wing and the tilted multirotor. I would hate to see you loose out on that because of getting scooped by a bigger company. Keep up the good work guys!
Patent pending is almost worthless. What is the Patent #
this is what Horizon Hobby is going to unveil October 13th guaranteed that's what their secret project was lol
Nor Cal Fpv That's my worry too.
So this is loosely based on the Tilt drone and Tilt mini? is this using a custom version of their cleanflight based firmware? Not the first tilt quad out there but looks like one of the better flying version.
extra fast phantoms sounds like bad news. but its really neat.
Holy crap dude that frikin Badass!!! .... I love it!!!
Fliteguys? Seems that this quad has different tilts between rear and front axels when applying speed. What is the point in this? Can´t see the real advance on have more float on another and more horisontal push on another axel. I have planned to build tilt axis quad but just symmetrical tilt (for simplicity), so after seeing this my project halts on planning state... It seems fast tough.
Hey I know I saw the flight test guys at the Toledo show earlier this year but wasn't this guy there with his tilt rotor too? I don't remember seeing this VTOL there tho
that guy is a genius i swear . wonder if he could come up with a way to extent the dji4 flight time from 20 min to 44mins
Holy molly, this is a freaking fast bastard!
14 minutes in and 730 views, you guys are rocking it!
5K views in two hours. ;)
super interesting. I wonder if reduced drag through more level frame in flight can make up for, or more than make up for, added weight of twister hw.
I dig. YOu should bring that to market when it is ready.
That is very cool! Great vid, you guys should try to make your own.
Could a dji drone (e.g. a P3 or mavic mini) be adapted with a new chassis with extra servos to transition the motors vertical, work? using the dji rth waypoint barometer alti hold etc ?
What issues could arise?
what a beast...nice job.
..like a thousand angry wasps...
I hope you patented this, the military would love this. I'm sure they'd just build it slightly different though.
Very very cool! Would love the VTOL!
