Dragonfly X 2.1
New and upgraded version of the previous orthocopter design!
Now comes with forward flight mode!
Very rough prototype version of a dune-style orthocopter (fly at your own risk!).
To activate forward flight mode, just surpass 90 kph, the wings will change their mode of action, and you will be able to fly the vechicle like an airplane!
CAUTION!
Build is still in prototype phase, and has some odd quirks and mechanics that need to be discovered (especialy in heli mode).
It also lacks vibration damper in forward flight mode.
Im making a tird version of the orthocopter, hopefully this one will be the "production" one. It will include the vibration damper, as well as improved thrust production, and some automatic systems that will make it more pleasant to use.
Stay tuned to not miss it when it comes out, and most importantly:
Have fun!
