Cant stop flying the Batwing

I'm at my field every day. sometimes multiple times and NOTHING draws more attention. everyone that sees it is amazed it can fly.

That engine roar is music to my ears

[@Spidious]

So you proved that in fact, a Batwing can fly. Now somebody needs to make a full-size one that one can fly inside of!

[@ThomasDoubting5]

That would be very cool and very very expensive .

[@Spidious]

@@ThomasDoubting5 It's only money. Just imagine what he could charge at airshows!

[@heinzwerner]

[@brightlord-ov7cm]

I wonder if he could get ahold of the updated f22 stealth tech to make it with, that would make this a true batwing then.

[@DouglasJohnson.]

This is hypnotic. Really makes me feel as if the Batwing could exist and be a highly maneuverable aircraft, worthy of the Batman.

[@Redsiix]

Anyway, I was in the aviation program for high school a few decades ago, and here's one thing I understood and know why a batwing is very real to fly. Lift is directly proportional to the surface area of an object. The whole entire batwing is all surface area which produces lift including the fuselage. I don't believe there would be an issue even if it was produced life-size to be functional for a human pilot.

[@hotlapkyle]

100% I categorize it in the lifting body flying wing aircraft since it feels and flies like a flying wing. I see no reason it wouldn’t behave better at a larger scale either. I will eventually scale it to 90mm and I’ll see what happens

[@thelonewrangler1008]

Well clearly it works full scale because Batman flew one decades ago

[@jeremybutler2578]

[@j0ltc0lajunki3]

That's so awesome. I've recently got down the RC rabbit hole and I was looking at a model of it I had from when I was a kid and wondered if it would actually fly.

This is really cool, but what made it even more entertaining is seeing you have so much fun and joy.

Honestly, even if the Joker and Riddler steal F-22's, in close quarters, Batman will smoke them like a fine cigar. Amazing build, and even more amazing aerodynamics.

[@patrickoneill1011]

A clear canopy with Batman inside would be cool. C.O.G. would still be good.

[@hotlapkyle]

I agree a clear canopy would be amazing

[@MrGabrielJude]

Here here!

[@johnrhodes101875]

no stickers just black but clear canopy with Batman inside would be cool maybe small sivler guns on the front like in the movie just for the look I know I had a model kit of the batwing and it had the guns had it for many years but it went down the road or in the trash

[@jamesanthony8438]

It was fun watching it in the movie, but it's amazing to see that the design could actually work. =)

[@sulljoh1]

I can't believe this shape works aerodynamically

[@reinori8322]

The Batwing looks great in the air. I think the thing that makes it even more cool is how it has some inertia as it responds to big control inputs. Compared to my 'scale' aircraft it looks more scale in flight. It is quite an achievement - Bravo!

[@leonkane8240]

Not so long ago I saw a guy in the supermarket late @ night, full silk batman Pajama ensemble including batman slippers, the only things missing was the pipe & the Bruce Wayne smoking jacket, he looked very @ ease & relaxed.

Only got into flying due to C19 through FPV multirotor, but I can see what you’re saying and gets me excited to eventually try fixed wing.

[@Powerhead1000]

Very Cool! It flies so smooth and balanced. Seems like a great platform to test a VTOL system. Maybe add a small downward thruster at the front between the pilons and one in each wing.

Fantastic! It flies really well! You should see the smile on my face right now! However, looks like you wasn't the only one flying around out there, and I'm not talking about that glyder pilot.

It's tiny on my screen and located on the upper left/middle of the screen. In any event, "excellent demonstration!" End.

Awesome build. I'm not a "DC fan"...but, I am a fan of anything Batman. I have quite a few surface RCs, several boats, and even a helicopter...but, until now, I've never wanted a plane. If I could have an RC plane...even just one...this IS the one I'd want...the ONLY one I want.
