There were moments when it was flying where it looked like the real thing. Awesome job, can’t imagine how much work has gone into it.
Your ability to bring the viewer along the process is unmatched 🚀
Retired helo test pilot here. I think that the abrupt pitch you experience during deceleration might be rotor flapback. Most helos exhibit similar behaviour to varying extents, and yours is exacerbated by having turned off the stability augmentation. A partial cure might be a VERY slow and shallow deceleration to the hover, with correspondingly low nacelle rates. I agree that the longitudinal movement of CG is also a big factor. Incredible project! Congrats.
The Osprey is known to be one of the most challenging aircraft to fly, even with automatic aid, and you managed to fly this in RC mode. Incredible.
When you consider that the real thing is also able to fold itself up like origami for storage, you realise the engineering of the V-22 is nothing short of a miracle. And as a one-man diy project, Tom's scale model is equally impressive!
As a mechanic on these aircraft it makes me so happy seeing someone try to reverse engineer the aircraft and genuinely enjoying the airframe!
When are we getting part 3?!?!?!
Dude it was so beautiful to see the 3d print come together, really cool toy you’re building yourself there man
"The tailheaviness" when you go back to hover mode is not only because of the motors changing their position. When going back to hover mode you still have some velocity thus wings still produce some lift especially when the flaps are down. In real or simulated V22 Osprey you can also observe the same behaviour. It is up to pilot to take a correction for the nose going up on transition. Impressive work!
This is insane dude. The amount of engineering, r&d, and just general knowledge is really cool to watch. Thank you.
Would love to see a part whenever you come up with some ideas/time to work on them. Really impressed with the cad to get it to print/slice so well in vase mode. Love it, congrats on getting it this far!
i love watching this series. I am a specialist for this airframe and love watching your solutions to problems you run into
Massive congratulations on 1 million subs! I can’t say how much you deserve it!
This is amazing, I was a MV-22 Osprey Crew Chief in the Marines with 1700+ hours. This looks awesome!! Great Work!
You’re a wizard, Tom! Astounding problem-solving abilities, both in the physics of flight as well as the 3D printing issues. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos!!
Even though it didn't like the "fully forward" mode, I still think this is absolutely bloody brilliant and a major achievement. Congratulations.
Instead of a shifting weight, I can't help but think moving the motors further down into the nacelle with an extension shaft out to the prop would give you a more balanced weight profile in the nacelle that doesn't change when they rotate.
Improvement suggestions:
Just discovered your channel and this VTOL series. Loved the detail and progression.
Absolutely amazing project! Love the printing technique you're using, as well as the process of testing all the different ways of vectoring the thrust!
