This is my place to post videos on my favorite hobby Radio Control Aircraft.
I hang out at a bunch of strange places from NASA to the SCCMAS, so I record a lot of strange stuff.

How a Radio Control Hobbyist became Enemy number one in Ukraine
zhlédnutí 1KPřed rokem
How does the director of a zoo with a weekend hobby flying remote-controlled planes become enemy number one of the pro-Russian forces in Ukraine? We meet the volunteers helping the Ukrainian army in its war-torn East. A look at the strong volunteer movement in Ukraine that supports the poorly equipped Ukrainian forces to fight pro-Russian separatists in the east. Includes soundbites from volunt...

Ran D St Clair Spin TOL
zhlédnutí 104KPřed 4 lety
The Spin-TOL was an attempt at a VTOL tail sitter design where the rotor blades become wings. The concept has merit, but is complex to implement. I tried to simplify it by using quad-copter style control instead of collective and cyclic pitch but failed. The control authority offered by the quad was insufficient, plus there is a natural instability associated with the fixed pitch rotor. It hove...

Absolutely %#!!^%( Awsome. Two Questions; did you have to match tune the motors? can you build one I can ride? I suspect the left bias is just due to prop rotation. Might be interesting to do something with counter rotating props.
Still have my old "BB" engine and props, is it worth anything
Oi😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is it based on a standard airplane or are they something specific to this project? Are plans/more info available (for a single)? I'm itching to do a little math about this thing...
Hello Ran I believe we went to school together at devry.
That damn balloon made history. It downed a plane and escaped unscathed...
man i was obsessed with these videos, i hope the park is still used for RC airshows and other stuff
Even though this video was 11 years ago (at the time of this post), this brings me back 30 years! Nice landing!
Is this Crows Landing air field?
easiest plane to fly???? your loops were extremely sloppy and the landing sucked. i dont think it was you. it looked like the plane wasnt capable of doing any acrobatics and looked awkward and front heavy on the landings. i wanted to buy one but if you cant fly it; i dont think i can either.
Wooooooooow 🥰
Surely that isn't the eflite one
some of these have a very… unique design.

Spot on.
I have a BVM BobCat composite. The BobCat and Bandit “started it all” for RC Jets. These BVM models were, and still are famous for being “slippery fast!”. Bob Violett was a true pioneer. The trend today is the dolphin design .. not quite as fast, and more aerobatic, but for pure adrenaline, the BVM is my go-to.
Had you turned back on the auto rotate it would have been recoverable
I've probably watched this as a kid
Me too bro
Nooooosssssaaaaaaa
Do you have the plan so i can build this ? i check flite test but no longer available
without an airfoil design to the ring, there's no energy saved in "airplane" mode, right?
Looks like Morgan Hill! I still have a scar on my right index finger from starting those engines, and the lovely sting of the Cox fuel in the fresh cut of the sharp plastic propeller. Ah, the good old days.

Is Ran still flying these amazing creations at Sunnyvale Baylands? Haven't seen him there lately ..
V15 as in a Dyson vacuum cleaner ? Really flies nice.
make instead of MTOL make a WTOL. your XTOL series begins reminding me of the icognito pokemon, eventually there will be a zoo
the folding mechanism make it look like a actual spaceship, me likes!!! what about allowing the wings move more downwards so you have an extra more manoevrable airplane mode
thats awesome
Well come back Ran. D
Another extraordinary achievement! What control, the flight is so stable and the transitions so smooth. Congratulations!
I wish they were affordable!
Awesome stuff Ran! Seems like we've been having similar thoughts on aircraft design
very cool!
war drone with more range ?
the Z-fold! must of been where Samsung got their idea :)
Cool
👍
The wings folding up at the end is just beautiful. Love it. Car of the future
Always such innovative and interesting projects!!!
You've probably already seen Nicholas Rehm's latest video but in case you haven't you probably will find it interesting. I love your MTOL! Thanks for sharing your projects with us.
Those transitions sure look great.
Amazing contraption as always :-) Thank you for sharing.
Incredibly well-executed craft. I'd love to see a build video for something like this.
W@@Wzers, Ohhh SIR-Ran-D You've Done It Again! This Is An EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT VTOL To Regular Plane Transitioning Flyin Bird Design w/A New Name To Match!!! I LUV IT & I Want One For A New FPV Project I'm Doing... Thanks 👍👍👍👍 - One For Each Motor! 😜😜🤣🤣😁😎
