yeh, obviously a lot of problems which you've spotted just from me telling you which is pretty vigilant. Most of the problems as you were saying only really came to me while designing it and some throughout building but if there were no problems, then where would the fun be?
ok, about the torque problem. I've been told by a guy who already does VTOL's that since my engines are quite close into the fuse then it isn't a really big problem but i will still get torque. My initial plan is using control vanes to counter the torque reaction. I have no certain way of knowing if this will work but the design has been copied from Don Incoll's VTOL. As long as it turns out to be a good flyer and very entertaining then i will get a gear box put in and a contra rotation prop. I don't really wanna be spending more money initially before i even know if it will fly.
Second problem, about stability, i'm planning to have at LEAST 2 gyros hooked up into the system. One to control roll and the other possibly to control pitch OR the other engine. All going well they should be ok with reponse times but again its something i'm going to have to have a look at when/ if it gets off the ground. Also i'm planning to intergrate a co-pilot/ auto-pilot into the system so it should hopefully be stable in some aspect in hovering.
If theres any more problems however small then please point them out, the chances that i've caught virtually all the problems is very small so the faster i get to know them all the better. Before embarking on this project i did do about 3 months of pure research. In that time i've gained a lot of info about it and its all gone into the design of mine. Most people i talk to are very pessimistic about this and most say that i should leave it for a few years. Others arn't so bad with their views like will robinson above, trust me on this, out of all the people who have said bad things about my project, you are by no means anywhere near the worst. Obviously these comments build up and drags me down a little but for the odd few people who are quite optimistic, its makes it all worth while.
In all honesty, i'm expecting more problems than what i can handle to go to light on the 1st real test flight of it. I'm having at least 2 people video record it so i can see it over and over again what goes wrong if anything does happen which it most certainly will.
Hopefully provideing everything goes well it should actually be in test flight phases by this saturday coming up. I'll keep all progress of it going on the Clubhouse forum but i'll post the same thing in this forum too since it is a twin engine craft. Tonight i'm installing the rotation mechanism, wish me luck!
