RE: New way to control roll?
Hi Guys, This is a very interesting idea. You do know that there are several sizes of electric ducted fans available that could be used. Also, with some computer radios, you would be able to turn the fans on and off to be used in conjunction with or independently of the ailerons. And a third mutation of this would be the ability to reverse direction of each fan in conjunction with the aileron direction. As in a left roll, the rignt fan would direct thrust downward, while in a right turn it thrusts upward.
You could also throttle the fans in proportion to the aileron input. The more deflection of the aileron, the faster the fan spins...
