Need to practice manual mode with the big ones, need to know how fast they can go ...

That's pretty damn cool! One if your own designs?

 

[FerdinandK]

If you go back to page 15 you can see more of it. The copter is manufactures by a local company. What I have to do with it is confidential.

As I contributed a little to the Riegl-Copter I got a frame.

Hi Ferdinand,

impressive frame and nice flying. is the folding mechanism a good design? do you know the cost € and what is included?

 

[FerdinandK]

The folding works as it should, and the frame is very stiff (much more than you are used to from other frames). But the major point is, without folding you would not be able to transport the copter in a car.

Well, about the costs ..., I am not sure if the copter is sold alone but you can ask.

best regards
Ferdinand

thanks Ferdinand

Here some video to lean back, relax and enjoy the sound:

can you smell it?

Turbine on a multi. That's not going to end well.

Just don't use JP fuel. The stuff smells like crap before and after burning.,,,

Jet A1 (with 5% oil) the new fragrance for men, better than diesel

 

[Nbffdvd]

Maybe even casesam.co.uk ditching the ginbal all together with a light Sony NEX5n ourcase.co.uk. We've got a ton of 8ah 6s packs, so we'd use two of those as well.

first turbine electric hybrid multi rotor i've ever seen. must have an interesting feel in flight? at full power on the turbine the FC would try to counteract that thrust, right? but good potential for nice FFF!

 

[FerdinandK]

if you would fly in GPS yes, I have to admit, that I have to learn flying with this thing (hope it lives long enough), but the aim is of course to fly that in manual mode (to get out the full potential.).

It's the end of the world as we know it...

Nice work! Keep a couple of fire extinguishers handy for those wet starts.

 

[ProfEngr]

Seems to be moving at a good speed for a MR of that size. What's the added weight of the turbine/fuel?

 

[FerdinandK]

@Old Man
The days of "wet starts" have long gone, if you do not something severely wrong, you cannot produce a wet start. Nevertheless a fire extinguisher is mandatory when dealing with gas-turbines.

@ProfEngr
Turbine, mounting and fuel for the moment 4kg, so I could still take 4kg payload with me (to stay below 25kg and for a flight-ttime of 30min).

Ferdinand

Here now a "real" video:

[Clogz]

That's very impressive work Ferdinand. It's come a long way since I saw the vid with the much smaller airframe and electric pusher mounted on the back.

Loving it!

First time on the airfield with the X16

AUW 24,6kg (21kg copter, 3,6kg battery)

Transport needs more efforts:

Here a short video
