This project was so much fun. Still working on a 4th vtol with a Nano Drak from RiteWing and I think it is going to be amazing.
I haven't seen anyone tilt the back motor on a tricopter version and use it for forward thrust, did you think about that?
@@ThereAreNoHandlesLeft I did. I think at some point, too many motors spinning will probably defeat the purpose of conserving energy. There is definitely a point of diminishing return. Cool concept, tho
Dude, that would be awesome! I just ordered a nano drak. I can't wait to see that. It was so fun helping out on the community build. Is there footage of Drew flying it?
@@fordmanjosh it was awesome working with you. I was wondering if they were going to include the crash in the edit. 😂
more of this please!!!!
Sean is always Frankenstein-ing something new and amazing at the Rotor Riot build table! 🤓
It was awesome hanging and flying with you at Rampage, buddy.
One small step for man. One giant leap forward for your tube socks delivery!
This is a plane from bangood with an extra prop, please credit the actual makers of it instead of claiming it as your own Sean
@@yeenmcqueen8658 you’re joking, right? Did you watch the video? I credited everyone
@@LetsFlyRC I did, as a matter of fact, watch the video but I think you misunderstood my comment. There’s no mention of it being a prebuilt with extra parts until the final minute of the video, conveniently after all of the actual content, and even then you only credit your friend for helping you learn the software and provide a link to your own thingiverse page. I should have specified but I meant you ought to have credited the makers of the Hee Wing T-1.
i always look forward to the stuff shawn does, but this is a game changer. i see some massive potential here and look forward to what you end up doing with this project, if anything.
Sean is underrated af on this channel. He deserves respeck on his name.
Sean is the best! Every time he brings something to a Rotor Riot video it's the best freaking time! I also love to see how stoked he is about being able to share the experience and credit of the build with the the people who helped him out, and redirects the congratulations and hype back towards them.
Sean and the the Rotor Riot Team, this was awesome. I hope the next endeavors with this project continue to be prosperous. Thank you for sharing this experience with the FPV community.
Shawn is to Rotor Riot as Peter was to Flight Test
That is so cool! Sean is amazing and such a hard worker. I saw him battling with that thing in the build room and he is relentless! Glad to have just been around this energy ✌🏾
That looks so fun, if only I didn't have a million and one other projects that need finishing...
Sean will never grow old cause his curiosity will keep him forever young
Keep doing crazy stuff, Sean!!! We love it!
Sean rocks! Just to see the Opterra stop , hover than turn around was mind boggling!
Finally!!! I been planning on doing a very similar approach for a couple of months after watching hundreds of videos an no one was making a hybrid drone in between a quad and an rc plane that could do vertical landing while maintaining the lift efficiency of planes!! I will share my version once is done, please bear with me I am just starting on this hobby. I already have all the pieces and I am currently building the body frame. Thank you for this video!! We now have self landing drone planes now, the world is a better place!
Nicely done Sean, you are tremendously valuable to the team, personally I think videos like this are a great addition to the channel ✌️👍
Ardupilot is new now? Has it been new for over a decade?
I stumble a bit when on camera. “New to me”. 😂
that was fantastically awesome in so many ways!! good job!
That´s awesome! Keep rocking Sean!
i really like these drone experiments. Stay tuned, you rock this
Innovation in our hobby is a blessing by this tinkering group🙏
A Shawn build always makes for great content !
I built a tilt rotor VTOL skyhunter with ardupilot, love it!
wow, that's an amazing combination!
congrats on the success!
This but with a pusher rear motor which tilts into a pusher for FW flight would be cool. Makes use of all propellers in both flight modes.
And a twin boom design so Handling gets better and the pushing prop has no resistance
Rampage looks like a really good time. I hope I make it next year.
This is so sick, great job
Unusual for rotor riot to be so far behind. Vtols and ardupilot have been around for years
Recent software improvements to Ardupilot has made it easier than ever to pull off building a good flying hobby plane. And in the small size….
Yes I am behind. Never put in the time to build a vtol until now.
Why do we always have to be the first to do something for it to be relevant? Why can’t we just share our fun experience?
You should try and connect 4 quads together in a square pattern and fly them as one quad. Would be a cool weird experiment
"That's so cool" would have been Nice to seen ❤Bubby's flight¿
Awesome job guys!
I just got into Learning about drones and this just hurts my head, but it’s way to cool.
Very interesting drone come plane and good video.
That was awesome. Great work boys
That was super amazing!!
Something, I wanted to see very bad!
These VTOLs performed really nicely and are definitely, really fun to fly and even watching them fly is entertaining!
The ideas of making these VTOLs were amazing, from the tri motor VTOL with that front two motors which can tilt horizontally for the Airplane mode, to that Black penta motor VTOL which looks amazing and surely flies nicely with the quad vertical motors to fly it like a Drone!
The last enormous VTOL seemed to be like a great forward innovation step on the E-Flite Opterra!!
It looks beautiful and is as stable as DJI drones!!
And, I can't believe my eyes that a winged plane VTOL just did a beautiful stable yaw in the air....
A bit too unbelievable and fantastic!
That is surely gonna be the future!
Keep it up, it was so entertaining to see!!!
I was worried that quad-planes had disappeared. So nice to see them resurrected!
A lot of legacy from folks like Peter Sripol in this, too!
First lets go !!!! Love the vids and thanks for getting me into fpv ♥️
Just like a dream...
Great job
Nice to see FPV people experimenting with V-Tol drones. Been in FPV for a long time and from the FPV knowledge got working as a drone pilot doing flight tests for the VTol systems that will be used for mapping and surveying.
V_Tol is not that new but for Mapping its a totally different story. Im not convinced about the solution to use the configurations shown in the video as a delivery drone. The way these flat pancakes fly through the air makes them really loud compared to other configurations/systems.
There are tests done by different company's using these types of drones to fly BV_LOS from point to point. At this moment tho the regulations around this type of flying is quite difficult as there need to be a lot of safety percussions to do these flights legaly.
The ultimate RC delivery of FPV aircraft would be a large payload-capable VTOL wing capable of flying fully autonomous waypoint missions far beyond the reach of the controller like an older DJI Phantom can do, but at much higher airspeeds that would enable the wing to cover far greater distances per battery charge than any quadcopter.
I love Shawn's creations! This is up there with one of the bests! Please sell in the RR Store the white tricopter/wing!
This thing is awesome!
Whoua ! What a cool video !!
very cool, super fun...
Sean carries the channel sometimes lol
Could try duckted rear an make it more sleak or use folding props in the rear just an idea though
Well done! I'll have to try this! ;)
Lmao vanover saying he peed a little bit on that one 😂😂😂 man we all did 😂😂
Such needs, mad scientist 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏿I love it
Was kinda waiting for the 'HI!" From flitetest Josh...
Very cool, would there be any way to integrate motors into wings for lift off? ( Like a ducted fan)
And...tricopters are back!
Awesome Sean, that was incredible to watch. And it worked so well, well done sir. Just an idea, how about a floppy prop in the back, so when ur in plane mode the arms of the prop will move backwards for a little less drag?
Definitely something I thought about but forgot to bring them
I guessed u probably thought of it, but had to ask just incase there was a reason u didn't do it. U come up with the most interesting ideas, its always fun to watch, whatever the outcome!
That thing needs more stickers!
Definitely need a tutorial on building one of these I have a trip coming up in a year where something like this would be great
How’s it perform in quad mode in wind?
Imagine using reversible props on the rear quad motors so you can pivot every motor between horizontal and vertical? No useless weight/drag and more power…?
Why don't you put electronic vents/holes on the wings which are opening on landing to prevent shakes from wind. So the air can pass through them :D . This is soooo cooll honestly :)
Man I definitely would want one of these haha fr
You're going to get some harsh drag off the non-tilting motor housing and the propellers. Could use aerodynamic cowlings over those motor housings to help reduce that.
That transition from hover to forward is pretty nice. Airspeed sensor?
Future upgrade. It opens up a lot more potential
Make it a twin boom design where the 3rd motor sits at the aft of the plane, with that you'll have 2 tractor props and 1 pushing prop
Imagine if the rear VTOL prop was in a sleak housing within the fuselage boom? Low drag with no lost functionality.
Good Job! We do it professionally with the company wingcopter in germany! 😉
I dont know about deliveries but I would definitely buy one of these for long range!
Awesome concepts!!! The Opterra build was great. Could you possibly hollow out sections in the wing to install ducted fans? Clearly you’d have to stiffen the wings somehow where you removed material, but it might solve some of the dead stick drag issue with the unused motors.
i was watching this thinking the same concept but instead the fuselage staying its width through to the tail and putting a ducted setup in the same spot. Cool concept Lets Fly RC Shaun 😎
That is alot of wing surface to lose...(I think those are 8inch props(
@@flyingfoxfpv6147make it a twin boom design with the pushing prop in the aft, it'll allow for better Handling
Great stuff! Thanks Shawn and the team! Please can you share your Ardupilot parameters? I want to try this with a Z84 wing🙂
That is amazing, now get that into production and start selling it please. I would love to have one.
Imagine that little tricopter vtol but not only the motors tilt but the complete wings tilt vertical and once in copter mode the wings can even fold inwards to be an even more compact copter 😍🤯 Great job 💪🏻👍🏻
Do you have a like to the tri copter vtol you and Fanny flew in the beginning? I would LOVE to build one
make it but only with 2 motor's that is going all the time that would be awsome
I'd be interested in a 5" version of this!
Sooooooooo cooooool 🙀
ardupilot is so good for big quads.. that's why u can fly well without any pid tune
Yes. I figured that out. It is definitely default tuned for larger setups
Is the align mr25 drone good?
I am lokking for a cheap good drone and i just Wantet to know if it is any good?
Okay I need a vtol
if you could build something closer to the agility of a quad for flippy floppies and proximity stuff, and with smaller wings or should i say, a lower aspect ratio wing like an F35
THE FUTURE
I love flying all types of RC, but have a particular interest in the use of UAVs in search and rescue type operations, as I volunteer with a wilderness SAR group. I have an interest in these aircraft for that type of use.
Oh this needs an LED spotlight when quad mode is engaged! 👍
Sean=smart
* DJI has entered the chat...and they are taking notes *
Would like to see that on RDQ!
I'm just getting into the hobby, and have very little experience with quads or fixed wings, but could you use mavic style floppy props on that rear motor to reduce drag when not in use?
I forgot to bring them with me, but, definitely want to try that.
The first thing that immediately struck me about the Single Stick was how comfortable it was to hold. The gimbals are velvety smooth and the switches and pots feel very nice while resting at your fingertips. Anyone fly a quad with a single stick radio TX?
Curtis Youngblood.
All the coments are good however can you give us details on the opterra eg what motors and props used what fc and battery thanks in advance.regards from Down Under Australia
You guys need to try a modded kk2 board for vtol, it is badass
Wanted to say - I've been watching FPV stuff for 6+ years. In the early days I would get to know the guys and it felt like an adventure. They had trouble finding good adventures back then, but you could do "Finding the perfect spot" or some other PG thing. They also could just gorilla dive a building one day... It didn't feel scripted and scratched that itch of flying with the boys. Then even when they did "gun vs. drones" (more what you're going for) people were invested in steel or final glide. I think it would make sense to produce longer cut "days out" where people get to know the peeps without the commercial wash. -Just a thought to get more buy in with new pilots getting into the hobby. That's also how your pilots build brand and sell ^&*() :) cheers! Looking forward to future adventures and hopefully a bit less of a 'production'
I believe the bounce etc is why the B2 bomber is flown by computer a single wing is weird
What flight controller did you use on the opterra?
Wow thats really nice. How much is the estimated cost of building a drone like that?
Depends what components you use.
You could build a $2 foamboard plane from Flite Test with inexpensive servos and motors and could probably do if for about $150. The most expensive part being the flight controller.
Most of these were using DJI FPV gear, prebuilt off the shelf airframes and quality motors and servos, so they were quite a bit more.
The HeeWing Ranger, for example, cost me about $750 with all that I put into it.
Awesome need me VTOL
Can you create an inrunner brushless build.? Making different style of frames that can have the motor in-set in the frame instead of mounted.
@RotorRiot @Rotor Riot Is this real??
Maybe have the rear tilt and use it as a pusher...
The part has been designed by my friend Mark. Problem is the thurst vector would require the motor point down in tricopter mode.
If you enjoy that little tiny VTOL, check out this one third scale and full scale 13 footer!

I'd like to give this 10 thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
what about similar motor mounting at the back of the vtol(make the tricopter a quad) ?!? ... rear motors pointing down (folded upwards) front motors pointing up folded downwards
that way one would have 4 motors pushing in plane mode ... (if needed for very long flight time use folding propeller at the rear end and switch them off for travel with only front motors)
Whats the approximate flight time for something like this?
Drone delivery has been going on in other country's for a long time now. And that shit is wild.
What they made a NEW Ardupilot?
I could have swore Ardupilot has been around for a decent amount of time, at very least.
Am I missing something?
Sometimes I stumble on camera, “new to me”. But, there are major improvements in the vtol code that make it better and much easier for a Hobbyist to to build a vtol
good😎👊🏻
I wish someone made an osprey
nice
