Roundwood Model Aero Club (incorporating the Dublin Model Flying Club )
NASA Langley researchers designed and built a battery-powered, 10-engine remotely piloted aircraft. The Greased Lightning GL-10 prototype has a 10-foot wingspan and can take off like a helicopter and fly efficiently like an airplane. In this video, engineers successfully transition the plan from hover to wing-borne flight in tests at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia.
I wonder how long before we see it for sale on Hobby King
Don't watch unless you have speakers or headphones as its mostly about the sound.
At start up,engine sounds sad / boring. After take off, well hear for yourself.
Enjoy
Her we have a video of our new member Barry arriving to Roundwood with his first plane for inspection and test flight.
It is always exciting when a new club member arrives to see and feel his or her new creation taking off for its first flight.
As always, experienced RC pilots give the new plane the obligatory safety check.
The Motor, new from a shop, needs to be tested and adjusted.
This one is for Ollie, especially the engine.So little power So much plane. As for the wheels I have sent a link to Liam where to buy them.
Christen Eagle first flight by Tony G , will his plane soar like an Eagle or fly like a Turkey
If you have time today, then make a cup of tea and watch this 10 minute video .
A mix of really good and ok landings, and dare I say 2 clips of amazing / crazy helicopter landings near the end.
