Awesome!

Very cool Scarz...

Love the way you used the v-tail mixer, very clever.

You can do the same thing without the mixer by adding 2 center motors for throttle control.

Thanks bro!

Ive been experimenting with the center roter idea, you mentioned, but it doesent seem as stable.
Ill try your example. it looks similer to what i had, but maybe work better?


yup, i had a tail stablizer at first, but after watching their video of it, the real one appears to fly all directions, and my model would tend to fly like a plane, which was cool too, but I was trying to go for realizim.

Enjoy...

All the videos I've seen of their site show zero deviation from origin. i.e. the flyer always knows where it came from and can remember what zero pitch, zero roll and zero yaw where since the time it powered up.

I wonder how it handles going in circles around the operator. It'd then need to know where the operator was to keep the forward stick control always moving away from the operator. Otherwise all control inputs are in relation to the starting position and would get quite confusing when the model goes behind you without any other orientation. In helicopters, you have that big tail out the back to give you orientation.

FMS models only understand what control inputs are in relation to their current position in space so there's no way it could model the Draganflyer correctly without simulating gyros.

I like the one with the vertical stabilizer. You can hover it around, land up and down, land like a helicopter or fly it a bit like an airplane. Without the fin, it usually gets to spinning around so much that I lose directional control and crash. Once I had it spinning so fast it hosed FMS.

the yellow colored prop is supposed to be for orentation, the the problem is, at a distance, i cant tell if im looking at to top, or the bottem, it think it needs a 3rd color prop, designating left and right.

It handles... interestingly. It is not controlled like a regular plane or whatever it is. I like it though :p !

You can find the complete .par I've been working on .

Just right click and "Save Target as" to the C:\Program Files\FMS\Model directory.

i tried this but when i opened it up i ended up crashing my computer help plZ :/

[Scarz]

this could be a result of a few different things.
possably video hardware failing, windows version XP_sp2, model detail too much for your computer to handle due to inadequate video memory, or maybe a combination of the 3.

ive had this model, and other models crash computer,
but fly fine on my daughters computer.

i didnt seem to encounter this problem until i installed windows XP service pack 2.
and then it got worse, when fan on my video card started to slow down, causing the video card to over heat.

i wouldnt reccomend continuing to fly it, if its causing your computer to crash.

there are a few treads in the "" forum, which address servicepack2 issues, lock ups, and crashes.

This model has been updated to a Helo file, for stability.

download the Helo.
