MechTech Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 That's AWESOME!!! They certainly have PLENTY of power in them too! - MT
Shawn Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Incredible! That video was first heart wrenching(the failures), but once they got it going I yelled out Yahoo! So cool.
UN Spacy Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 SIMPLY awesome stuff. Very excited to see what Kawamori says about em.
sharky Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 What crap! They don't even transform! Ha ha! Actually, I was at the edge of my seat hoping it would take off. This is pure awesomeness. Kind of felt like a kid again watching the video.
ver CO Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 These guys are all heart. Watching the video alone already made me geek out, I can't imagine how happy they were when it actually flew.

zummi Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Suddenly there seems to be a lot of activity on this front. Not sure if you have seen these profile versions of the YF-19 and VF-0S: Not as sophisticated as the ducted fan VF1 but still nice.
dbh1973 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Have they released blueprints of the VF-1's yet?
mickyg Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Those are incredible! I was thinking the thrust to weight ratio would be terrible but it appears to have more than enough for straight up vertical climb. And the control services implementation is just brilliant - roll rate is good and manoeuvrability looks more than sufficient.
MechTech Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 These Macross profile models are just too cool! The latest brushless motors are powerful and lightweight. Running times are great too! Back in the day we had cobalt magnet motors and two pounds of nicads and got like 5 minutes out of it. God help you if it landed hard: 2lbs of gear eats a lot of dirt! They also flew like a dog! The LiPo - brushless systems can even do things that the glow engines can do. Some of the 3D racers can just sit there and hover (they have variable pitch props too). The down side, gotta watch charging and battery temperatures so they don't burst into flames. LiPo batteries are best charged in closed ceramic containers. I especially like the YF-19 profile. It looked totally manueverable and getting a design lilke that to fly is tough. - MT
Jefuemon Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 sigh indeed. Anyone else want to get involved?
