Dragonfly VTOL

68.8k PPLLAANNEE  3.4 years ago

Just some more self righting without gyroscopes and fuel. It can fly backwards and forwards at high speeds and hover. 67%-65% throttle to hover.

How to use

Throttle to start flapping the wings. Pitch up and down makes you go forward and backwards. Yaw is to turn. Turning while going forward and backwards is unstable. If you want to lose altitude lower the throttle and don't use pitch. You can hover close to the ground and then cut throttle to land.

Controls

Throttle - flap wings
Pitch - forward and backward
Yaw - turning
