      I'm going to venture a guess here and say this was made with an omnidirectional camera. They oriented the shot afterwards.
      Having offered that option, it may very well be that they just killed it and that's it. Great shots anyway!

    It really is the best RC ever, not just a ground effect vehicle. I hope the major corporations see his and mass produce something similar. It would be so fun to have an FPV ground effect vehicle. You guys outdid yourselves with this one. It's also not only functional, it's a work of art! Watching it fly in the ground effect, is the most relaxing thing ever. Game changer!

    Airspeed sensor for throttle and lidar for elevator.
    The total energy control loop doesn’t work in ground effect, it reverses.
    Please please please put on an airspeed sensor and close that loop, you need it to run on the back edge of the drag/speed curve to gain the ground effect gains.

    • @rubiconnn
      @rubiconnn Před 2 lety

      I'm no flight control expert, but I feel like using vertical speed data would be better for stability than using absolute altitude data. That way it can try to predict when the aircraft is going to get too close to the ground before it happens so you get less oscillation from the props needing time to spin up.
