Just wondering if this would work...
You know when you're hovering..and you're ailerons become almost non-reponsive? Well I was wondering if it would be possible to use little fan units to control the roll instead of ailerons..or maybe in combination? Is this even possible?
Anyway I've got a little drawing to illustrate this better.
I came late to this thread and read it through from beginning to end. I have little of immediate use to offer, my flying remains largely 2D if I can manage it. I prefer a model to fly
itself when I let go of the sticks. I will however make a few observations.
1) I love the range of ideas offered but wonder about the skill needed to use them.
2) I think the thread needs to go very little further before a "Harrier" design emerges, complete with vectored thrust, attitude control by tip puffer jets etc etc.
3) Please design the automatic stability control and I am on board/in the market.
I will now go back to my vintage Quaker.
