My congratulations to you gentlemen. Truly a major leap forward in aviation technology!

It's a magnetic rudder. It works by swopping the polarity of the magnet in the tail. That either attracts or repels the magnet in the rudder, causing the it to go left or right.

you need to start mass producing these. I'll buy one!!!

Fantastic little plane,I hope you are successful in claiming the record.Happy flying all the best David.

Brilliant! Love the simplicity of this tiny thing.

put an ant on it and get the record for manned aircraft

Nice work! Elegant design!

That is outstanding. Very well done on making it and for the new world record

Great fun and a super piece of lightweight engineering, congrats to you John.

Awesome. Ithink CG must be more frontier to be dragless and more efficient.

An American built an 85 mm wingspan p51 mustang with working flaps and retractable gear as well as ailerons and worked out a 3 axis gyro system so it would fly. There’s a great video of him flying outdoors. It’s just hard to see.

That's impressive. It flies just as long as most Air Hogs planes, on a smaller battery than they use. And it flies better too!

Well done excellent model, I hope your record was recognised

that should be put in production

Good job & good luck on the record.

Nice one, absolutely loving that.

wonderful, well done

nice little thing! Well done.

That is very cool. I hope you get the record.

The Wright brothers would be proud! I know that I am impressed.

Fantastic, we are proud of you

That's the way to push these parts into the best and smallest plane I have ever seen. You win, great work. Now to see if I can copy your work just to have some fun. Gary

As others have said it's called high alpha. It is still flying. Basically, anything that is uses aerodynamic lift is considered flying.

Nice work!

i understand what people complain, not entirely full control as in true snaps to the right. On the other hand i'm into micros too and i know what challenges this brings.. Good job

Since it flies at an angle of about 45% it's half a helicopter. In fact, you could give it a 1 inch wingspan and have it fly at about 90%.

Amazing! Congratulations.

I want to see it turn right! lol How do the trim settings work on an electromagnetic actuator? Its either full right/left or off, right?

Very cool. Nice engineering.

69mm wingspan just makes it 69times better

Abel, Install a training hoop. It will greatly minimize the chances of catastrophic damage while in learning mode.

He was flying in circles due to the fact that if he flew straight at any point he would not have enough space to turn, I know this because i regularly fly model planes indoors. The first RC plane I ever flew had no control surfaces what so ever and just used to small motors which changed speeds so that you could turn and gain altitude. :)

Well done. I don't know anything about these, nor do I have anything better or worse. I don't want to know where to buy one either. I just want to say good luck in your quest for a world record, and again, well done!

Actually, you can have full control of a radio control plane using only the rudder and engine. The faster the engine turns the propeller, the more lift you gain and the higher the plane will fly. Using the rudder also banks the plane slightly, because the aircraft is so light, the rudder is enough to turn the plane. If the plane was larger and carried momentum then ailerons would be needed as the rudder would merely change the direction the plane is facing and not change the direction of flight.

Someone mentioned that they should have invented wireless electricity and then the tiny plane could have flown forever. Actually if Tesla were around he probably would have enjoyed assisting putting together a wirelessly powered plane. All you need do back then was tell him it was impossible, stand back, and watch him work furiously at making something possible. This is a really neat little plane. Quite amazing miniature engineering.

Stunning engineering, a great achievement

Ant-Man wants this!

Might want to try building one on a 3D printer. I understand that those can print moving parts like the control surfaces together as a unit: the axel pin parts can be made into their corresponding holes so that there is nothing to assemble, and they cannot come apart, unless they break. Thus these parts can be made lighter and tighter.

There's no way that thing could cost more than $30, so it'd be great to see this mass-produced.

Is this in retail? It looks really awsome

Search for "Micro 9g Light Aircraft Ready to Fly". You can use a similar board and make your own airframe.

Very cool!

Plzzzzz tell me where to get these

Where can you buy one?

Fantastic little guy

I fly all kinds of R/C aircraft. You should be required to do a simple figure 8 to demonstrate the aircraft's ability to change direction. If it can only go left, then it is not completely controllable or he is a bad pilot, or both. I have a commercially available "Ember 2" that I could do all kinds of aerobatics in the space he was flying in. I also have a "Night Vapor" that flies half the speed of his micro plane. Yes, they are bigger, but adding wing area would have helped him.

So cool!

NOW THAT! looks like a plane I could enjoy flying

Beautifull, Just Beautifull. This is a Handy job weldone...:-)

So cute, thank you.

awesome dude

@buddingvideos Yes - the original un-edited video shows figure 8's and right turns, but I kept them to a minimum as the high right turn speed meant that the cameraman was struggling to keep it in frame. But apart from all that, it's a right little sod in right turns! I've now made a much better design with 2 contra rotating torque cancelling motors which I'm trying to put into production.

how did you make it

It looks more like a power stall hover than flight. Impressive none the less.

@danni8191

look at the wing design. at that size I don't think regular flight can occur.

@johnwakefield3421

7 жыл бұрын

The wing is set at a high angle of attack whilst the motor/prop is pointed downwards. In flight, the motor naturally assumes a horizontal attitude making the wing's angle of attack even higher. Also, the airflow from the prop is directed at the severely under-cambered wing and is deflected downwards - not exactly a "blown" wing but it does increase lift. It glides at a much flatter angle with the motor off so maybe power stall is about right. All this was to make it manageable and more importantly, slow it down - high speed at this size, try and follow it - especially with a video camera.

@EthanFoley Hi Ethan, I've just started limited production of the aircraft. Might you still be interested in getting hold of one? Regards, John.

for sale ?

Great video. Keep them coming. William

Damn, have to admit that's sick.

Totally cool!

awesome! its now 3 years later what is in your bag of goodies

The high angle of attack leads me to believe it could be much more efficient with a greater wingspan.

The world record is based on , duration, controllability, design - AND WINGASPAN. Figure it out....

again as a modeler I have seen indoor free flight. I haven't participated in but not microfilm planes. I do not have the patience for those delicate crafts. I have seen those in a radio controlled set up. which is quite amazing for their extremely slow speed but of course they must be much larger than you are playing to create a lift. they have inspired the gossamer Condor human powered flight. which was just a large microfilm playing

You need to market that. Call it the mosquito.

Amazing!

by varying the current through the electromagnet you can vary the force produced, if the control surfaces are sprung loaded a small force will only cause a small deflection and a larger force a larger deflection. Voltage wont make so much difference although usually by altering the voltage you will alter the current aswell so that might well work. Whether or not that is being done I do not know, but its possible.

I real achievement. I put more CA on my planes than that weights in total ! Great stuff guys. Proud of you !!

Dit is een goed en grappig vliegtuig

Did you get the record?

where can I buy one?

how much the price is it?

Judge the boys by the size of their toys! I really hope you got recognition you aimed for!

That's craey guys !

Awesome, wow what a clever guy!

Good job and good luck! I think you've made it. Please, start selling them!!!

Anyone interested in radio controlled model gliders and electric powered aircraft should read Quiet & Electric Flight International magazine. You'll find features, reviews, show reports and expert advice for everyone from beginners to experienced RC pilots. There are also adverts from all the top manufacturers and suppliers. Check out the website for more details.

you put a lot of time, money and effort into building it.

How much for that there plane dude?

Hey, there was a guy who made a 1:96 P51 Mustang. It had retracts, navigation lights, ailerons, flaps, rudder, elevator, and machine gun lights/sound!
