Will It Fly? 3D Printed Thrust Vectoring Motor

[@johnbecker9480]

This was an amazing project to work on, and the nose wheel was just to keep me from crashing like I did with my first attempted maiden. Keep the challenges coming! It will be awesome to see what the community comes up with next!

[@Cornstalker7273]

I need one of these TV units for my Monster Retro Rocket! Started to build it today. You did good, John!

[@johnbecker9480]

@@Cornstalker7273 if you can give accurate measurements, or provide a model number, I may be able to create a custom TV for your Monster EDF

It’s him

[@Micharus]

Dad used to fly R/C and any time he went to try something new, he would go what he called "3 mistakes high" and then try it. Also this was awesome to watch.

[@SP0NZ-FT]

Love this a lot! Congrats on winning the contest John Becker. Great design. I can't wait to try it.

[@FliteTest]

We had so much fun with it ... until Josh crashed it 😂

[@JDDupuy]

Imagine your day is to get up and design and have fun! Continuing the growth of the hobby and putting fun into the hands of all at an affordable price. Can't say enough about the huge impact you have had on the hobby of RC Flying. Thank You!

[@FliteTest]

Thank you so much for the kind words and also for your support! We want to impact people in a positive way using the gift of flight. Our community has gotten behind that and taken that vision to New Heights. (Pun intended). JB

Finally you guys got rid of the Spektrum radios, that's the best thing that happened to this channel in years!

[@FliteTest]

We absolutely love our radio masters and also the new ELRS protocol

[@r1m.dog78]

I use a Spektrum NX10SE and a Radiomaster TX16s Mk2 and I think they're both great radios. Seems to be the in thing to hate Spektrum these days lol 😂

[@jessefellers]

I had a lot of fun working on this contest, even though I didn't win. I would love to see more community challenges in the future!

[@marcusm5127]

That thrust vectoring nozzle looks so cool. Reminds me of seeing the space shuttle test the thrust vectoring before launch.

[@davedeweese5810]

It's always fascinating when you do multiple videos on how an idea evolves into an aircraft: this guy, and other recent designs like the Jenny and Twin Otter.

[@adamheed6210]

This brought back memories from the thrustvectoring viggen you built years ago

[@HollandsHomsteadFPV]

That retro rocket is so goofy looking... I love it haha

[@FliteTest]

It's become one of our favorite airplanes!!!

[@malte9999]

The receiver output configuration can also be done via the ELRS Lua script on the radio. No need to use Wifi for that.

[@FliteTest]

That's good to know

[@neon_Nomad]

Beautiful and simple design

[@FliteTest]

Yes very simple but VERY effective

[@Jay_Mac1775]

Hey FT, I believe you guys made one way back in the day but I’d love to see an OV10 bronco build again. Living in California for 20 years I’ve seen the cal fire ones flying around during summer my whole life and it’s a rather interesting plane history as well. Think yall could make a super cool one!

[@walk4718]

Another winner🤩 It never gets boring ❤️

[@Aniclimax-g4y]

Will you release plans on the retro rocket it would be really helpful

[@FliteTest]

We are going to have the plans available for the retro rocket. It will be on the store available for purchase. FTCA members will receive a discount on the plans as well.

[@jimmcdougall9973]

A big congratulations to John. An excellent design. Engineering at its finest. Now we just need an RC pilot to test it 😂🤣😂 (sorry guys. Had to rub some salt). Blessings to all.

Upon seeing 2 powered-up flight-ready Retro Rockets lined up on the Runway, my first thought: "Baby Elephant Walk!"

[@ManuelDaveCuaderno]

i love your videos flite test its the best channel i love your A-10 warthog

[@UtahDelaCruz]

I imagine it's a lot like a jetski, where you can only course correct under power. The moment you cut power, you lose authority. Very cool.

[@joedatuknow]

Iv been waiting to see you do this thanks

[@FliteTest]

Absolutely!!!

What else would you like to see?

[@gilbert5678]

3d printed one for the ft viggen a while ago. Lots of fun!

[@FliteTest]

We should really revisit the Viggen

[@SPECTRE_ASF]

Oooo ooo video idea what if you guys make the F-15 with the new gimbal system p.s i’ve been watching since 2017 or 2018 my first video was the A-10 warthog (i think) and im glad i can still enjoy your content 💯💯

[@GhostKnightTech]

Is it possible to build a,V/STOL model plane now like the harrier jump jet and /or a VTOL like the V-22 Osprey?

[@zabridges]

Im printing this now!

[@davidgilmartin7578]

Looking at the vector thrust nozzle design could u possibly shrink it to take smaller motors that would pivot inside the housings and poss make a working harrier jump jet able to perform proper VTOL and poss even as a little challenge try to land it on a model aircraft carrier as the big issue is the transition form vertical hover to horizontal flight and back to hover 🤔 loving the posts and the amazing builds 👍have a fantastic one guys stay safe take care all the very best from Scotland to you 👍 👊

[@ammarali5134]

Can someone describe the stick movement for the flat spins. Throttle to a 100% and rudder all the way left?

[@FlyingBeeFPV]

Hey cool Project have you guys looked into thrust vectoring vtols like the trijet by dietmar Metz presented by essential rc somewhere on KZbin there is an interview with dietmar where he explains some of the channel mixing to achieve the vtol capabilities with the thrust vectoring EDFs.

[@chribm]

That was awesome!

[@taylorhappe8026]

The Horton 229 Germany's first attempt at a stealth jet fighter that was made out of wood to absorb radar detection technology that was ahead of its time and even using current materials Northrop Grumman tested a full-scale replica of the Horten Ho 229 aircraft to study if it was truly stealth a great video if you ever look it up

[@rickhunter1984]

Twin edf like an eagle fighter two pilot design?

[@toddabbott781]

I woulder if you could make a rocket like an AIM-9 Sidewinder looking rocket using thrust vectoring and do a tail landing with it.

[@FliteTest]

That would be really interesting

[@donaldburkhard7932]

Use it to make harrier?

[@dennispattonjr8163]

I would love to see a downsized version of it for flying around in your backyard.

[@colinham9148]

Can you make a messerschmitt 163 and fly it but without the and B chemicals as l don't wish you to get hurt.

[@rcman4.2flyboy]

Extremely awesomeness 🛫🚀

[@FliteTest]

Thank you!!!

[@thomasohanlon1060]

It’s time for FF to build a twin motor thrust vectoring F22 fighter jet, maybe even able to launch a rocket?? Do you accept the challenge?🤔 By the way great video gentleman.

[@sea_kerman]

The ability to bind multiple entirely sparate elrs recievers and remap the channels lets you do some pretty funky stuff yeah lol.

[@bencromwell4453]

at least it was level when it smacked the ground. mine usually hits the top 😆

[@billsrcs8278]

so cool!!!

[@PiratePrincessYuki]

I want to see a twin motor thrust vectoring system. Similar to the F-22.

[@FliteTest]

That would be so fun!!! I bet we can make a plane that has two DEF's. Maybe we can do it with the master series planes? What do you think?

[@PiratePrincessYuki]

@@FliteTest my dad is a retired Air Force fighter pilot and he took me around at an air show a few years ago and was showing me around an F-22.

[@DarrylAdams]

I would live to see if someone can make the Harrier vector vents and Rolls Royce Pegasus engine for VSTOL flight

[@TheOneAndOnlySatan]

I didnt know about this competition, last year i made my own. Can i still enter the competition?

[@FliteTest]

Unfortunately, This thrust vectoring challenge is over but you can still share it on the forms that way other pilots can print it and use it.

[@TheOneAndOnlySatan]

@@FliteTest thanks for responding, ah thats ☹️ but will definitely be taking a look at the forms and other designs. As i went with pinions, ring and something kinda different. My total weighs 24gr, edf 64 and 70 mm overall length 120mm

[@userTJ39780]

I saw someone with crow and the EDF. He deployed it mid flight and it dropped like a rock into the ground. Too much! I prefer my straight up EDF and the prop on a swivel.

[@rstucke35]

Your Next Challenge: Make an X-59 tribute with the Retro rocket with the EDF.

[@gsestream]

so why not use thrust vectoring flaps, instead of full engine thrust vectoring

[@deathryde7849]

Mh, i guess a challenge where the community have to build the best Speedboad/3D Plane 2 in 1 with at least 1m wingspan would be nice.

[@kobitz9001]

"I used thrust vectoring to flat spin for some reason" Am I wrong that thrust vectoring is an extremely robust control system that can be used for a ton of interesting things? Why was the most interesting thing you could think of a flat spin?

[@FliteTest]

Yes thrust vectoring is used for a ton of amazing moves but unfortunately ... Josh crashed it before we could try anything else 😂
