Its a 14 cell 60 volt Thunder Power battery, (which lets my fingers know every so often it 60 volts) a jeti 220amp esc and a home made motor and fan.


I had 3 more conventional flights today, I am trying to get it to slow down without pitching up and stalling, I will do this type of outing a few more times before another transitioning attempt, but test flights today looked very promising.

This is what happened in the video. It will literally climb with flaps down until there is 0 airspeed left, and I did not have enough down in the elevator to force it down, then it will drop like a brick, giving you a split second to have full power on, this is not scale, and needs to be corrected. If I can keep level as it loses airspeed I can slowly add the power as the wing loses it's lift.

It was kind of crazy having the first flight in front of the Discovery Channel, but its just the way the timing worked out, but the flight was not to bad it showed promise. I think this thing will challenge me right to the end, I pray that transition into forward flight comes easy, making more Pegasus turbofans is a s$*t load of work. It better not be another 24 years to finish it!!!
