Maxime Carrier commented on Popa Stefan's blog post Indoor UAV capable of fixed point flight and efficient forward flight"Yes I know the v22 but I don't like how it is made, I plan to use a little motor in the tail to control pitch while in hovering mode. I think the control will be more flexible, increased weight but so I think that will be more fun to…"

"I made a copy of the ball drone that did'nt need anyone to hold the sticks. The problem with these designs especially if based around an aircraft is holding position in any wind outside. There is a huge area for the wind to get hold of and with…"

Bill King commented on Popa Stefan's blog post Indoor UAV capable of fixed point flight and efficient forward flight"I have made a singlecopter like the illustion fly in stabilization and alt hold mode by modifying the code of arducopter, which is not difficult at all. You can just fix the motor_quad to gain that."
johnkowalsky commented on Popa Stefan's blog post Indoor UAV capable of fixed point flight and efficient forward flight"this isn't a new concept at all - I saw a documentary on several prototypes of full size tailsitters from 1950s-1970s but they sucked due to reasons such as difficulty controlling it in hover and poor pilot visibility... I knew these problems…"
Ravi commented on Popa Stefan's blog post Indoor UAV capable of fixed point flight and efficient forward flight"this is amazing. so simple in design yet so efficient. i think the arduplane code be modfied for this with little effort. can u please tell what servos u are using. the servoes are very unusual. can u post a simple construction drawing and some…"

"Popa,
Good stuff! I imagine there's could be quite a difficult transition in the control logic if you tried to get it to lean over further...and maybe you'd need a stronger motor. It's great what…"
Popa Stefan commented on Popa Stefan's blog post Indoor UAV capable of fixed point flight and efficient forward flight"Hypertaxi was our main source of inspiration when we designed it. However, the AS3X system helps you fly it, but you still need to be an advanced pilot.
In our case, the controller does 80% of the pilot's job. The video shows our first…"

bGatti commented on Popa Stefan's blog post Indoor UAV capable of fixed point flight and efficient forward flight"Maxime Carrier,
I love the visual - don't have an opinion on the name; but I'd love to see that fly;
even if it's just a computer model - I encourage you to mock that up....

lol, by VTOL Tricopter I mean tricopter that could tilt two rotors at 90 degrees and fly by using small wing instead of flying like an helicopter."
Maxime Carrier commented on Popa Stefan's blog post Indoor UAV capable of fixed point flight and efficient forward flight"I planed to make a VTOL tricopter but this design is much simplier :D"

Indoor UAV capable of fixed point flight and efficient forward flight

The UAV is a combination of a plane and helicopter. Therefore it is capable of hovering and vertical take off/landing, just like a helicopter but it can also tilt forward to achieve horizontal flight the same as an airplane. This is done in order to maximize the distance and the speed of such an aircraft.…
