It would be pretty awesome if someone could build one, probably be really time consuming but it would be really cool to see one, and i bet it would haul *****, anyone heard of someone build one?

Yea... it would!

i know what a real wolf spider is, but can you please explain what youre talking about?

He's talking about a robotic spider, like this:

I'd like one of these:

Back to the actual subject, I believe you're referring to the RealFlight 3.5 version. I'd like to see one of those in real life too:

Anybody up for some challenges?

Don't know that I would want to tackle that design, but I am building a quad tiltrotor (tilting propeller) design that would use a lot of the same components. If anyone wants, I would be glad to share my experience so far.

I have some videos on YouTube of my flying testbed and a X-Plane simulation of the airplane as I hope to fly it in the next couple of months.

Or visit my website for more info [link=http://www.vertiplane.com]www.vertiplane.com[/link] .

From designing mine, and flying the Wolf Spyder on G3.5, normally you would want the CG in the middle of the props in hover, and in cruise just slightly ahead of the lifting point of the wings. On the WS, it is really nose heavy to compensate for the larger front wing in cruise, and the front engines produce more thrust to compensate in hover. I would have to say, X-Plane has really helped in my design, and I would recommend building it in there to see if you can make it work. I don't think the physics in G3.5 is really representative of how it would fly. I isn't on mine.

How is the testing going have not seen any new posts on vertplane in quite a while.

Sorry for the VERY delayed post, Peter! I usually get an email in response to one of my posts.

I guess by now you've seen that I updated my site shortly after your post.

It's going good, but never as fast as I would like. Electronics and my inexperience in fiberglass has slowed me down some. I'll probably update some more in the next few weeks, keep checking!
