That's the first time I've seen one of your airframes fail to fly on your first try, which is insanely impressive. Love the videos. Please keep posting!
They can't all go to plan Kyle. You will work it out. The head needs to be a bit smaller I think with the feet facing backwards rather than down. If the top was flatter it would be better for the fan. Make the chest area bigger underneath which will be better for cg and drop the battery into it. You can do it 😉💪
Great vid -- A+ for effort and showing it all. I tried to post a long comment on where it went wrong, but after giving it full thought -- i'm not sure either. You might look into the amount of Torque Twist the EDF/motor are introducing right when you throw the airframe vs the amout of vertical stab you have? Although once the head was gone it seemed to sit on the pocket of air better for a second. Definitely a draggy looking airframe shape and maybe under-powered or the fan is starved for air sitting so immediatley behind the torso/head section - air flow obstruction? The big round head might be the perfect shape to prevent laminar air-flow from directing into the EDF intake. I vote to nix the EDF, and attach the brushless motor out the back with a Pusher Prop -- you can get much better trhust this way, think you're gonna need it!! Make the head more ovaled and pointy-ish? Great creativity, nice to see a different idea in airframes!!! Also -- to get that "high alpha" effect of a flying wingman suit --- the airframe might benefit from a small gyro that helps automatically balance it left/right as you're flying. Two Brothers RC demonstrates alot of High Alpha EDF flying on their channel and they use Gyro's to help make it ALOT easier to balance the airframe.
Clever and cool --- it seems like the fan would have a hard time picking up air with the obstructinon of the torso and head..... nice to see something totally creative and different!!! You want it tail heavy a bit to get the nose flying up --- you need a High Alpha setup!
maybe a battery plate with straps, or a battery tub, meshed with a 3d printed worm drive would allow you to fine tune the cg by turning a wheel at either end of the worm (and because it's a worm drive, the battery should stay in place without any additional straps)
I have watched a few of your videos now, and I had an idea that I think you are the guy to pull it off. This idea requires 2 pilots as it would be a working model of Starship and its booster. But instead of rockets, you could use EDFs. The booster is easy since you could also use drone motors where the grid fins are as well as internal EDFs. Starship could use 2 counter rotating EDFs and a vectored thrust mechanism for steering. I bet you could do it! You could have it go through a whole launch sequence seperate and then have 2 pilots guide them to model launch towers. If I had the skill and knowledge to do it I would do it myself, but unfortunately the best I can do is try to pass on my ideas to people that might be able to actually make them.
I always had a hard time launching my “experimentals” grabbing them from the underside. Until one day I dared grabbing it from the upside way in front of the CG and launching it almost vertical (70 - 80 deg) up. Any of my models will gradually level and just fly. You may try gabbing the suit by the head and throw it up.
I would like to suggest that the angle of the thrust line is messing with the CG. The thrust has a down vector behind the Aircraft CG and will cause a more aft CG with increased thrust. Just a thought.
Maybe a bit of dihedral across the wings? or make him a bit fatter in the centre and taper the underside upward toward the tips? It looked un-stable in roll to me.
it seems to be deep stalling maybe the motor angle, cant really tell whats going on with cg but if you get the angle neutral and experiment a bit, might work
My armchain analysis is that ot needs ailerons its too much throw and its way too close to the cebter of mass you might need 4 servos on this one it seems to be soing adverse yaw and the high angle of attack it tends to fly at doesnt help, again im no expert and going off instinct 😂
I understand this is your channel, your passion, your desire, and your enjoyment, but it seems to me your wasting your talent, your time, your money, your work, and my time. I understand I don't have to look at this, but am expecting improvements over time. Also, I understand you are just experimenting, but you really need to start focusing on the finer things in these planes by adding REAL landing gears, cameras top and bottom and so forth. That's why I gave you a thumbs down. Please, start getting serious with yourself by serious improvements, please. Just my advice.
Everybody's got to start somewhere. I was gonna give you a thumbs donw for sounding like a real downer --- but i gave you a thumbs up because just like the op --- everybody's gotta start somewhere -- including you. Jesus Bless you both!!!! But can I ask, how do you know this person doesn''t work REALLY REALLY hard in life -- maybe 80hrs a week --- and this was their recreation moment of the week. And its kind of not the strongest or most successful attempt, because they are SO DARN BUSY working 80hrs a week at making it in REAL LIFE. As much as that may or may not be the case, thats why i thought maybe cut them some slack. Who are we to judge? Don't know about you, but I"m not the one to be judging the Op, or You, so god bless you and have a wonderful day!!!! :) :) :)
@Idontdohandles Look, am sure you can make a Washing Machine fly with the Dryer. Am sure you make some STAR WARS fighters, like The Rebel X-wing Starfighter, The TIE fighter, and The Imperial Shuttle transport fly, but push yourself, do more, see more when you are up there in the sky, you will like it. You got the talent, the knowledge, and the experience to make REAL TIME flyers and MAKE MONEY!! Am sure when you start making one model that you can sell with ALL THE BELLS and WHISTLES, that's the landing gear, cameras top and bottom, you won't need your 80 hour job. You are going to be doing what you love and make money. Look, when you put your content up on TH-cam, people like me will judge you, whether you like it or not. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
@stevec7596 Yes, but there's a way, so find it. It's not my problem and it's not impossible, am just a customer who has the MONEY looking for the impossible, looking for something better and looking for something different.
That's the first time I've seen one of your airframes fail to fly on your first try, which is insanely impressive. Love the videos. Please keep posting!
looking forward to seeing you perfect the wing suit 👍👍
This is your best video. Just wonderful.
congrats for your experiments and thanks for sharing. looking forward to seeing it split some holes...

You do your thing we like the process.
Very creative 👍

This would also make for a great fpv platform, maybe even the best ever.
Great attempt!
love this, awesome !!!
Remember the fan shoot low preasure air and that ussualy wants to stick to surfaces so eveb with the angle its probably gonna wanna stick to the back
Great to see someone else making RC wingsuits too on TH-cam ! 🪂😎

Nice project.
You need way more thrust, the head is not very aerodynamic, and the present air-intake is strangling the fan.🤙🏼
I love your stuff ylu got any designs for 70mm edfs?
Maybe a bit of dihedral across the wings? or make him a bit fatter in the centre and taper the underside upward toward the tips? It looked un-stable in roll to me.
Was not expecting that as next rc plane
I love this idea, how about moving the edf to his shoulders
Is that 'mouth' catching air currents and causing drag + downward pull?
it seems to be deep stalling maybe the motor angle, cant really tell whats going on with cg but if you get the angle neutral and experiment a bit, might work
You should put the fan level, the way you have it makes the air go upwards why you think it's tail heavy
You really need to come up with a better battery mounting solution to stop it changing CG mid flight...
My armchain analysis is that ot needs ailerons its too much throw and its way too close to the cebter of mass you might need 4 servos on this one it seems to be soing adverse yaw and the high angle of attack it tends to fly at doesnt help, again im no expert and going off instinct 😂
Interesting , how about a p80 or t33
It wants to go into the rubbish bin ???
At this point you are bored😂😂😂😂
Dam....Sabotage?
first here
You can't tell the difference between nose heavy and tail heavy? smh

The inbreeding and fetal meth syndrome are strong with this comment
You realize 99% or more of rc models do not fly with cameras?
