I love this channel , these guys make it possible for anyone to fly machines and not go broke , THEY ARE REally all about their fans keep up the good worth ft crew
This show is a great back to the future episode and frankly its why we love u guys... Pls try and redo reviews in this style... Vintage lol 👍🏼 Love u guys keep growing and expand but dont loose the magic
great vid guys made two .One like yours very unstable .number two added 3 inchs on each wing .No more wing wag and flys a lot more stable .Pluse used carbon push rods makes the plane more responsive in the air . thank for the shows guys keep up the good work .
Awesome gyro plane and it also seems to fly well but then again Bixler is a very good pilot. I enjoyed the video and flite test inspires me to do reviews even though mine are lower budget I still try. You guys even convinced me to get a GoPro(black edition) which I use for my reviews. Awesomeness! Keep up the good job! Take care ;)
“Argutably” one of the best videos on twin rotor R/C autogyros to be seen anywhere on the interweb... Be sure not to miss a single “Bixler Actually”, either! They can be found at 0:34, 0:47, 0:57, 2:03, 2:10, 2:14, 2:22, 2:51, 3:00, 3:02, 4:31, 5:18, 5:30, and 7:12 !!!
Hey guys thanks for the video! i got all my parts for my f22 on the way, aswell as my new motor upgrade for my 540t so i cant wait till they get here and ill make a video! thanks for the info
I did this but they have surprisingly little effect. This is partly because pushing one rotor down will increase its speed, thus making it want to go up again, and partly because the wings are very short. I guess you could extend the wings all the way to the width of the rotors and put the ailerons on the tips, but then it wouldn't even really need the rotors anymore... Only thing the ailerons are good for is very high alpha and hovering.
Question, are the flights as short as you show with the 500mah batteries or do you shorten the flights for the video sake? how long will the f22 fly with a 500mah thats show to be with the build and im going to try a 850mah nanotach and see if that works for a longer flight
The slight reverse angle of attack produces the spin on the rotors (windmilling) once spinning there is a smooth slow, high pressure airflow on underside of the blades and a rapid, low pressure airflow on the upper-side of the blade. It works better if the blades have an airfoil section that really speeds the flow over the upper surface, but on light objects like these planes, a straight section is good enough (as a maple seed proves). If it was simple drag, the blades would stall.
I see the Hot-Rod gyro has a HK Red-Brick ESC..I've seen them on a few of your planes...How well do they work? I saw a 100amp ESC Red-Brick I need for my EDF jet and need more info. on it...Thanks...
I guess it depends on whether you think of lift, as in the classic Bernoulli's principle type lift, with airflow over the curved upper surface of a wing creating a low pressure region, lifting the wing, or in the deflected airflow version...like sticking a board out your moving car's window, and angling the front edge up type lift. Technically, I guess they are both lift, but I bet Josh is thinking of the 1st type when he says it doesn't generate lift.
They do have a power source. The same power source that a fixed wing has - the forward motion of the craft. If you stopped the air flowing over the upper surface of the planes wing, the lift would disappear - it would stall. Bernoulli's Principle states that a gas or liquid exerts less pressure on a surface, the faster it moves. the only difference between an autogyro blade and a wing is the fact that it's being 'auto-rotated' by its movement through the air. (cont.)
I didn't mention drag? They may have, the wiki for autogyro also mentions the blades create drag and trust in balance. Trust by angle of attack/incidence. If the rotation was causing lift it would need an input power source to turn them, you cant say the force of the air going through them is causing them to turn and then say that the spinning motion is creating lift?? its one or the other and its the first one. Maple seed example is drag acting as a parachute? A better example FT flier
(continued) Because the blades of the autogyro are moving faster the the airspeed of the craft, the stalling speed is reduced to nothing (if the blades slow the will stall but as falling auto-rotates them, auto gyros can recover quickly. A parachute has lift too. The air in the canopy is still while the air flowing around it is moving and, therefore, at a much lower pressure. Again, if this flow is is disrupted, the lift will disappear and the parachute will collapse. (cont. 2)
please make a video on balsa wood wing building There is no video on youtube and no guidance material available for such builds +Flitetest please make video on balsa wood wing build
I think Josh's explanation was probably was fairly accurate. Most kites fly without generating lift. I think this plane is more like a kite than an airplane. The wind deflects a kite upward because of the angle set by its bridle. This beast creates its own wind by virtue of the prop pulling it through the air and the airflow deflects the craft upward because of the high AOA...or I could be full of crap.

Do a speed build kit! this is a cool and unique plane!
I love you guys. It's Monday, I get home from a bad day at work, and you make it all better with a new video.
These looks awesome in the air with the 2 rotors spinning.
This show is a great back to the future episode and frankly its why we love u guys... Pls try and redo reviews in this style... Vintage lol 👍🏼
Love u guys keep growing and expand but dont loose the magic
Genius tip with the control rod guides with zip ties!!! Definitely going to use that
Nice tip on the zip ties for rutting push rods! Thanks for sharing!
Simple and effective...
One of my all time favorite scratch builds!
great vid guys made two .One like yours very unstable .number two added 3 inchs on each wing .No more wing wag and flys a lot more stable .Pluse used carbon push rods makes the plane more responsive in the air .

nice one! Keep them coming like this. Surprise us. Love the show!!
Looks like a fun one! adding it to my build list! :)

Can't wait for the build video
I hope they start selling this as a speed build!
Lol I'm watching in 2018
I remember watching this when it came out!
2020
The bass on the intro is amazing
Got plans, now gotta add to the winter build line up.
i want to build this now! It would make a good summer project
love your videos!
on an autogyro, the wind turbine's 'exhaust' becomes buoyant, holding the thing high if you have a prop.
You guys are AMAZING!!!!
Hey guys thanks for the video! i got all my parts for my f22 on the way, aswell as my new motor upgrade for my 540t so i cant wait till they get here and ill make a video! thanks for the info
Nice :-) Leadfeather has a great Gyro design also. Great ZipTies tip ;-)
Looking forward to this episode of single blade props
I love Bixler trolling Scott with the one blade prop line. It's about time somebody gave him a hard time back.
looks fun think I might build one !
I did this but they have surprisingly little effect. This is partly because pushing one rotor down will increase its speed, thus making it want to go up again, and partly because the wings are very short.

Only thing the ailerons are good for is very high alpha and hovering.
The rotors absolutely generate lift, they have angle of attack and there is air moving over them, so therefore you have lift!
can you guys please do a review and a how to fly for the durafly auto g2
They grow up so fast. Literally.
Will these be part of the speed build kits?
LOL. Awesome episode!
you guys r awesome!
you guys should make a swappable and sell then in your store!
Gotta make something like this but with a powered vertical prop for VTOL
Is there an equivilant to the 2213N that is available in the US warehouse?
@daxdadog is the force perpendicular to the direction of airflow. Drag is the force in opposite direction of offore
i want to build it !!! another grate viedo
Question, are the flights as short as you show with the 500mah batteries or do you shorten the flights for the video sake? how long will the f22 fly with a 500mah thats show to be with the build and im going to try a 850mah nanotach and see if that works for a longer flight
The slight reverse angle of attack produces the spin on the rotors (windmilling) once spinning there is a smooth slow, high pressure airflow on underside of the blades and a rapid, low pressure airflow on the upper-side of the blade.

LOVED IT
looking forward to single blade props no seriously u guys should do an episode on them
*WHERE'S THE SPEED BUILD KIT FOR AN AUTOGYRO!!!???*
Even an FPV version would be cool.
Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Could you build this as a strap on wing for the nutball fuselage?
do you need to balance the props on the top of the gyrocopter?
is it possible to do slinge blade gyro copter. and have counter weight?
when the Bind and fly comes out I will get one
Thats soo cool!
Will you guys be doing a scratch build? As for single blade prop, they are possible as long as you have them balanced
This looks like it might be good as a small FPV platform, looks stable. Do you think you could mount a GoPro, or would it be to heavy?
so this is basically the same as putting a motor on a big foam board?
I see the Hot-Rod gyro has a HK Red-Brick ESC..I've seen them on a few of your planes...How well do they work? I saw a 100amp ESC Red-Brick I need for my EDF jet and need more info. on it...Thanks...
So freaking cool airplane! how do you have so much time to build!
can you make it into a swappable?
What about building one with a large single disc instead of two?? Would it work?
Sorry to hear about your broken computer and/or speakers.
Do they mean the angle of attack/incidence of the rotors is causing the lift. Not a direct lift from the rotation? Pretty hard to explain
Those are sweet!
anyone else getting that screen flicker in 1:17-1:20 or so?
Put some motors and props on the rotors and you can have a VTOL or STOL plane depending on what way you hook up the ESCs.
i sooo want to build one!!!!
Why is this age restricted😳
does anyone know where i can find a reasonably priced lipo balancer/charger?
why is josh scott flying with dx6i??? i thougt they are using a dx8?
You should do an episode on single blade props. A guy on here flys planes and helis with single blades.
I guess it depends on whether you think of lift, as in the classic Bernoulli's principle type lift, with airflow over the curved upper surface of a wing creating a low pressure region, lifting the wing, or in the deflected airflow version...like sticking a board out your moving car's window, and angling the front edge up type lift. Technically, I guess they are both lift, but I bet Josh is thinking of the 1st type when he says it doesn't generate lift.
Ya, the rotors produce lift in autorotation. It's ok though, I really like the show.
They do have a power source. The same power source that a fixed wing has - the forward motion of the craft. If you stopped the air flowing over the upper surface of the planes wing, the lift would disappear - it would stall. Bernoulli's Principle states that a gas or liquid exerts less pressure on a surface, the faster it moves. the only difference between an autogyro blade and a wing is the fact that it's being 'auto-rotated' by its movement through the air. (cont.)
I call my version with a clipwing, a swept T-tail with straight tailplane and tailheft the Super Twirl.
I didn't mention drag? They may have, the wiki for autogyro also mentions the blades create drag and trust in balance. Trust by angle of attack/incidence.
If the rotation was causing lift it would need an input power source to turn them, you cant say the force of the air going through them is causing them to turn and then say that the spinning motion is creating lift?? its one or the other and its the first one.
Maple seed example is drag acting as a parachute? A better example FT flier
PLEASE do a review of the new Zephyr V70
anyone else thinking... fpv autogyro? those self-righting capabilities would be a great low-cost alternative to stabilizing boards.
I want to see josh Scott doing some aerobatics
Argudably
+thechromepoet hahahaha, I wonder if you spelled that correcdtly?
just seeing this made me think can u guy make a plane fly with a home made foam prop.
can anyone imagine this with a swappable power pod?
(continued) Because the blades of the autogyro are moving faster the the airspeed of the craft, the stalling speed is reduced to nothing (if the blades slow the will stall but as falling auto-rotates them, auto gyros can recover quickly.

Again, if this flow is is disrupted, the lift will disappear and the parachute will collapse. (cont. 2)
You could cut the wing off to test if the 2 rotors do generate lift. I'm betting they will!
Cool aircraft
Hello, where do I buy this one to HK by going to sell?
where can I buy?
When I was a teenager we would take apart walkmans to make tattoo guns.
SPEED BUILD
if i make one ill robably somehow make ailerons wich might not be a good idea but a good exparement
nice design
I played on the stix
yea autogyros can't fly without the lift of the rotors idk what you mean by that
Hardly. Retreating blade creates less lift. It's not usually a problem when you have multiple blades... but with one it is.
Auto gyros are really cool!!
You're argudably cool!
Chad it up on the forums!
How about y’all build a ov spray I think I spelled it right if not I apologize but you know what I’m talking about
there is a wing under the rotors
Hi this is josh and this is josh
Since 2006 .......... sorry guy's try since the 1950's
look at face at 2:57! HA HA HAHAAAAAA!!
COOL!!!!!!
please make a video on balsa wood wing building There is no video on youtube and no guidance material available for such builds +Flitetest please make video on balsa wood wing build
