whoah! I saw this guy down at the new Waverly flying field. I mainly fly fpv quads but rc planes are def the roots. this was such a cool plane to see pop up in my feed!
Un modelo de ala anular ya salió en 'Mecánica Popular' hace muchos años. El paisaje en ese sito de Utah es como los Monegros aragoneses, como la Baja California, no tan seco como el desierto de Atacama en Chile.
¡Hola, José! ¡Me alegra saber que está familiarizado con la teoría del ala anular y no me sorprende que la haya visto en "Popular Mechanics" hace muchos años! El paisaje en St. George Utah es impresionante, sin duda un hermoso lugar para volar. ¡Muchas gracias por registrarte, todo lo mejor para ti, amigo mío, en el Año Nuevo!
I love to fly RC and I love to throw things. One of my favorite things to throw is the X-Zylo. So putting three together seems like a perfect idea. I need this in my life.
Yessir! Built an impossible aircraft from nothing more than plans, some raw materials, and whole lot of talent. AND, I couldn't believe how well that thing flew! All the best to you my friend in the New Year!
Amazing plane, amazing flight. Not to be nitpicking but back 65 years ago, you could build from a kit, you could build from a plan, or you could SCRATCH BUILD your own design. My compliments to the builder and pilot.
@@55Wings I totally understand that this is an oldtimer design my friend. Thomas did an amazing job both on the build, and on flying it. What an amazing little model that proves annular wing designs can actually fly! All the best to you my friend in the new year!
Bonjour mon ami ! Oui, je crois comprendre que ces « ailes en anneau » ont toujours été un concept visant à accroître l'efficacité, mais aucune n'a jamais volé à grande échelle. Bien sûr, dans le monde du modélisme, nous pouvons tester de nouvelles idées en toute sécurité, et OUI, comme vous pouvez le constater, celle-ci a plutôt bien volé ! Bonne année à vous !
Absolutely awesome !Very clever!Cheers from France !Bonne Année !
Merci Erik, content que ça te plaise ! Bonne année à toi mon ami !
Thank you for posting.
You did a great job tracking this Roy Clough design in flight.
The builder did a great job: it looked great
@@adamalbert Thank you Adam, glad you enjoyed seeing it my friend 👍
"A minimal amount of inefficient lift."
Sounds about right.
HAH, I loved it when he said that! Happy New Year to you my friend!
@JustwingitRC
I know, right?
The man knows his stuff, no doubt.
Looks like something Bloss & Vohm would build.
@@danflom1271 Hah! For sure Dan, they were the Kings of weird planes. All the best to you and Happy New Year!
Blohm & Voss .
@CG-rr6yx Yessir! I know, but it is sort of a hard name to remember...😉😊
@@JustwingitRC Already forgiven .
Well done on build to ya man 🤙🤙🤙
@@NathanWaldock For sure Nathan! Thomas did a great job on the build and on the flight 👍
Crazy!

Great Stuff Johnnie!
Ain't it tho :)
@@airhammer6203 HAMMER!
Thanks Jono, glad you enjoyed it mate! Cheers to you and a Very Happy New Year!!
@@JustwingitRC Too You Too Johnnie!!
@jonoedwards4195 🤙
What in tarnation. That is cool. Reminds me of the early 1920s flying contraptions like the Flying Saucer Wing plane. lol
@@FarmerFpv Absolutely! Proves that you can get practically anything to fly 👍

Thanks for checking in my friend, it's a really cool aircraft for sure! All the best to you!

@@gravityfuzz I love it! What a perfect combo and idea! All the best to you my friend 😊👍
Niiice unusual looking rc plane.. 😀
@@butterflyfpv Without a doubt my friend 😊
Great vid John. Such a neat model!
@@funscalemodels9782 For sure Derek! Happy New Year to you and yours my friend 😊👍🎉
Amazing scratch build!! The man has talent. I have seen a rc KFC bucket fly.... :)
Yessir! Built an impossible aircraft from nothing more than plans, some raw materials, and whole lot of talent. AND, I couldn't believe how well that thing flew! All the best to you my friend in the New Year!
Scratch build, that was once the only way and still is the best way.
@dynevor6327 Indeed it was. And yes, many still it's the best way! Blue skies to you my friend 👍

Perfectly named 👌
@@dandaniels851 Without a doubt my friend 😊👍
🤔 ANY EFFICIENCY GAINS ON THIS DESIGN ❓ definitely cool 😎
@@damlitproductions8126 Not really very efficient, but super unusual for sure! All the best to you my friend 😊👍
A little bit up close of the controls would have been nice
Yeah, I probably shoulda done that for sure! Even I'm curious as to how it worked...
We try hard, but the induced drag is still there , no matter what.😊😊😊
@@GigaBit-i2j Indeed my friend 🤣👍😁
It IS unusual 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@twooldcampersandadog8169 Indeed it is!! Hope you and Mama had a great New Year! All the best to you my friend 😊👍🎊🎉
well; you don't see that every day 🤣👍👍
@@jcb6713 Indeed my friend, indeed! Happy New Year to you 😊👍🎊🎉
With an adeguate engine, everything can fly but this plene is billiant anyway.
@@mariorossi7343 Indeed Mario! All the best my friend 👍
Expliquez l'intéret de cette formule . À surface d'aile égale l'avion a il besoin de moinsde puissance pour voler ??

¡Come, bebe, y disfruta: Mañana puedes acabar en Utah!
De hecho mi amigo, de hecho!
Does it turn even right?
@@sibylvane75 At 02:12 in the video Thomas brings it around to the right, so yes, it can even turn right 😊👍
It's actually for the birds, when they fly though the ring, they get skill points.
Hah! Indeed my friend 😂👍
