*DECEMBER 2023: I don't know why this gets so many views, I abandoned the design after proper testing: [ Ссылка ]

A MUCH better triple motor design : [ Ссылка ]

----

Taking the best of both previous designs, this craft uses side flaps for turning and strafing, and a conventional prop for forward thrust.

Horizontal stabiliser and elevator in the propwash for pitch control, a gyro will be fitted later. A rudder is also present, this is intended for control at higher forward speeds.

Weak reverse thrust is possible by differential control of the lift motors.

With 2 flaps per side, the craft can turn or strafe, but not both at once. A separate middle flap is needed for independent turn and strafe, as fitted on previous design. 2 flaps is an acceptable tradeoff against 2 more servos.

Dimensions approx 60x85cm in 6mm "Depron equivalent" underfloor foam insulation. Lift is 2836 880kv motors, 10x4.5" props, 3S 2200mah. Propulsion is 2822 1100kv and 8x4.5" prop.

10 control channels:

2x lift motors
4x side flaps
Elevator
Rudder
Throttle
Gyro mode toggle (not used currently)
