This easily the most beautiful RC Plane I've ever seen. It acts and responds like it wants to fly. Other Planes look like they're fighting to stay up. Congrats, and thanks for sharing these videos and your excitement with the results.

[@jimseviltwin1]

The Air Force spends millions and millions of dollars in developing gyroscopes , computers and exotic fly-by-wire recycling and you have figured it out with a simple joystick.

[@JeronimoStilton14]

unfortunately things do not scale linearly in fluid dynamics, what works with a 3 pound RC plane does not mean it will work on a full size.

[@jimseviltwin1]

@@JeronimoStilton14 Forunately, they do. A wind tunnel is a perfect example of the application of similitude and modeling . Before the development of computer modeling, a wind tunnel was an essential design tool to examine forces on the scale model of an aircraft under design before a full scale prototype was constructed. But, your point is well taken; a full scale aircraft would need to have similar weight distribution. Accounting for fuel storage and payload would be problematic

[@JeronimoStilton14]

@@jimseviltwin1 maybe you are considering similitude and buckingham PI groups as “linear” which I think is a stretch but it’s been a while since I worked with them so maybe they are technically all first order equations and operations, but my point was depending on what you want to study the geometry will not be simply scaled. Wind tunnels are indeed used, but one can’t simply scale a model and have it be an apt comparison of all properties, fluid dynamics is annoying like that lol Also side note it looks like the ngad mock-ups have traditional control surfaces so he’s definitely making his life harder by only using control surfaces in the jet stream.

[@flaviusmad]

I literally have no knowledge about any of the technical words you used except “Plane” but I watched your last 2 videos like nothing else. It’s a pleasure to watch that thing fly. Looks and moves like something from 2050 at least. Congrats. I wish I knew what you said about that “authority” thing, though.

[@hotlapkyle]

Thank you and welcome to the RC jet world! Control authority means I have lots of ability to make the plane turn, bank, and roll. Also the ability to make it stop on a dime like maverick in the movie when he did that crazy maneuver against the bad guy 👍🏻 hope that makes sense in normal terms 👍🏻

[@chiudesign]

I have to admit I was jumping up and down shouting at my wife trying to explain how big of a deal this was from an aeronautics and engineering perspective and all she could do was smile and humor me like I was crazy. Besides being one of the cheapest and simplest toys to manufacture, I wonder if it could be scaled up for personal planes vs military only.

[@quaddawg]

Yes!!! I am here losing it. No gyro? Two "thrust vanes" no control surfaces? The STABILITY!!! IT WANTS TO FLY! then I see THIS video and it's flight characteristics under aerobatics, the control authority....with thrust vectoring ONLY?!?!?....what the what?!? I'm mesmerized...... I'm floored!!!!

[@saqibsultantemuri2437]

Dude, watching the fourth video of that NGAD evolving, you really BUILT something here very FAST ! Awesome!

[@sstdiecastracing2372]

Hey man. I am back from work travel. So glad to see 2 videos pop up about this. Awesome build, Next the Dark star. Thanks.

[@jukibame]

To avoid cutting the throttle accientally too early you can program the throttle that it stays at 10% (or 5%) when the stick is all down and add a switch for final throttle cut.

[@quaddawg]

Exactly what was going through my mind. Can't wait to see what the "final" iteration brings!!

[@captainsensible298]

Low-speed tight manoeuvres appear to defy physics, it should stall and drop but maintains control. Awesome.

[@quaddawg]

It truly WANTS to fly..... The STABILITY!! awesome.

That's a seriously impressive piece of kit , well done mate.

[@dougfir1000]

Amazing. I have been building an hybrid ICE/electric motor for my Seawind amphibian craft for the past 20 years but am absolutely amazed at the performance of this aircraft. Can't wait to see a 1/4 size prototype flying. Keep me in the loop.

[@TundraRoy346]

Really liking this concept! Are you using 2 ESC's? If so, could an asymmetric thrust mix be incorporated for yaw control? Could make for some fun 3D flying!

[@onmyworkbench7000]

It will TURN RIGHT! You mite think about mixing throttle with the ATVs on roll and pitch so when at lower throttle it automatically increases the pitch and roll ATV gains to help you maintain the same control authority throughout a wider throttle range.

[@darksidemachining]

Awesome piloting. @06:06 “Goose… I’ll hit the brakes, he’ll fly right by”

[@MikaelXJohansson]

Glad to hear your excitement 😊 I’d like to see a slow speed maneuver into straight up into the clouds. And then some with heavier payload to see how it behaves.

[@jackrichards1863]

The most interesting thing I've seen in rc aero. You might know I've seen very little. Enough that this was really like an imitation of UFO flight. You start thinking this how you pull up and stall so enemy overshoot and then regain your flight and shoot them down. It was like a dogfight in the most advanced thing ever imagined. And you can go airborne from a drop of four feet high without getting near to the ground. It's incredible!

BRILLIANT! I was thrilled to watch it; I could only imagine flying it. IS it feasible to make the extremities (tips) modular, as to only ever have to build / replace the damaged extremities? fitted with magnets maybe?

[@chadelywadley]

Love this plane. The vectored thrust is amazing. How about adding elervons to the wings, this should give you control with the power off? Two more servos will add a little weight I know but it would be very manoeuvrable. Hoping to test fly my FA-XX this weekend, but the weather is looking a bit pants here in the UK.

[@randomcomment3865]

Great job on your NGAD! Phenomenal flying characteristics, for having no gyro, and love watching you fly it around! :-) But when you've had your fill of this sports car, maybe time for an SUV?... See if you get inspired by Dark Skies' recent segment on the Boeing YC-14, (and/or the Russian knock-off An-72), as their short takeoff/landing and load carrying capabilities could be a lot of fun, like even carry an RC vehicle?

[@isdrakens]

The "flip over" is probably just the grass surface you are landing on. The nose gets caught and then tosses it over.

[@abcdodd]

I recently discovered your channel, and absolutely love watching your flight testing videos. I can across the batwing, and if you can make that fly, clearly anything is possible. A question I have is how do you choose what airfoil sections to start experimenting with on non-standard shapes? Or do you just start with a lifting body, and...play?

[@Steve-js6ki]

We get a leader back in charge of the military. This home engineer should have a office up front...!

loved it to bits , i expect every rc guy to have one within a year, suspect some kind of harrier stall landing will be the way to save the fuz from constant damage .

[@Soshstar999]

I really love your design, however I do believe that the design would benefit from having the elevons on the wings also, simply because you can't get enough airflow thru the ducts to maintain control of the aircraft like you would with full length elevons

[@norcalovenworks]

But…….that is the point.

[@StealthTheUnknown]

@@Soshstar999 split elevons on trailing edges is the way to go, you can program split elevons to take care of all 3 axes in forward flight. By split I mean there’s two per control surface and they can open upward and downward simultaneously. Boom, instant air brake on that side. Mix with other controls in the mapping and you have all axes mapped to a single pair of (doubled-up) control surfaces👌 of course, while it’s got engines in action, it won’t need em

I really and truly am impressed. Now that you are fine tuning, the true nature is coming out. It can flat fly like it's on rails. Now I want you to try some vertical work, including a straight up stall. I'm curious if the flat spin can be defeated without throttle. I am also mystified as to why it isn't a lawn dart, but actually flies well... Can you fit one of those small GPS speedometers ?? Got curiosity about top speed on 1500mA.

[@packratswhatif.3990]

SUPER ! Now please try building one twice the size ! Very cat-ass sweet !

[@paulhope3401]

With how deltas fly, ie; high AOA, you would likely gain much more stabilty by putting the wing fences on the bottom of the wing instead of the top to reduce the wing rock/roll oscillations. Just a thought for you to consider for your next version. Nice concept, plus it has a stunningly beautiful silhouette in the sky, you are not so far away from a final version, keep working on it. :)
