RE: Rotoplane with Aydlet rotor
Hi all
This weekend Aydlett Rotoplane did his maiden flight. First try were acrried on a desertical landscape but I can´t keep my MVVS 0.12 running with confidence. I must change the glow plug.
A light wind keep the rotor working fine.
Back again at home I put a new glow and this time the MVVS was running really well.
At the middle of te afternoon I come into the airfield, light wind was blowing.
First I made several low speed take off runnings, but I don´t let it really take off. Finally I put it into the air, and suprisingly it did easy, and rudder was effective to keep it on the right way.
The Rotoplane keep a 7 feet level but it didn´d wish to ascend more than this. As the altittude wasn´t safe to try a turn, I decided to land suddenly. Propeller was broken, but that was the only damage.
At last hour I tried a new flight, with a zero wind condition, but it was impossible to keep the rotor turning until it has enough speed.
I must add some device to make the rotor turn easier at low speed without wind. Also I must change my propeller 8x6, 8x4 or 7x6, last one was 7x4.
Wait for news
