Guest nunans Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Awesome for sure, it sheds new light on the whole "when is your plane stalled" discussion, those rolling harriers etc he was stalled for alot of the flight, but planes like that can hover at half throttle so it turns into a heap of fun... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfGnome Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I think that looked like some of my early attempts at landing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yeah great coordination. That's why I fly real planes . It's easier. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Isaac Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 That is the equivalent of DJP flying his Decathalon with a 1200HP engine ... hmmmm maybe 2,000 HP There is no substitute for shear horsepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpacro Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Power/weight ratio is a bit better than the Laser I used to fly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The power to weight ratio would have to be at least 2 to 1.Looking at how she hangs off the prop at half throttle or less (at a guess).What I cant get my head around, is, how does he keep up with the maneuvers.

David Isaac Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Maybe he has some software algorithms built in to auto balance aileron and rudder???? Bet he can't fly a real aeroplane ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Bet he can't fly a real aeroplane ... And if he could his brain not to mention the rest of the anatomy would be completely fried after 2 seconds of that sort of stuff if in fact it was at all possible.

djpacro Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Suggest you look at Rob Holland and his cardiac express, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 David I. A mate of mine was pretty much a long-time aeromodeller, as I was, but he was a bit more into it than me, and I took him up in the DH82 and let him fly it. and he virtuallly did it all first off. Would have had no trouble with training him in low hours. The chap with the model in the vid. is simplifying it a little. he's just holding aileron and using elevator and rudder.. Not saying that is easy though when you have to reverse the senses when you are going away or coming back. There must be some easy way of getting your mind around that... When you're flying the real thing what's in the window moves the same way all the time when you apply the controls. Much easier. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 hey that xavier is something. Pity the vid is dark. Doesn't appear to be anything he can't do with the plane. Would like a SU. Dream on. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nunans Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 This guy is a master of learning multiple orientations, At least fixed wing aircraft normally only fly forwards.... Now that's the kind of power to weight ratio we need! It's electric too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Amazing!...I wonder what Leonardo Da Vinci or Sikorsky would think? Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgwilson Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Totally ridiculous. A real live dragonfly is totally outclassed. This completely confirms the theory that helicopters don't fly, the earth just repels them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
