VTOL questions

4 Pilarostrich0  8.9 years ago

I've really wanted to make a vtol but whenever I look up tutorials I only find people reviewing their planes. I someone could give me some tips I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

    @karlosdarkness @Flightsonic @goboygo1 thank you three so much. I've been working on a vtol for a long time but couldn't finish it.

    Simplest method is a single set of nozzles either side of the Centre of Mass, you need rcns front back left and right if you want some control.

    Don't forget RCN ports for control.

    it is important to have the CoT right on the CoM or your plane will not be balanced.

    Have the nozzles at the CoM, best to be centered up-down if used for horizontal thrust, RCN nozzles work with the VTOL engine to provide turning forces

    Have you looked at one of the starter planes called the vertigo?
