There are many design for a VTOL UAV. Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) employ a fixed wing design like that of a traditional plane. But these designs offer limited maneuverability and payload capacity, require a runway to takeoff and land, and are unable to hover. Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) UAVs get around these problems, usually by employing rotors like a helicopter.

Now the new technology has been tested on VTOL UAV that has no external rotating parts, instead relying on a phenomenon known as the Coanda effect to generate lift.

The Coanda effect is the tendency of a fluid jet to become ‘attached’ to a nearby curved body instead of following its original path. The effect can be seen by running a stream of water over the underside of a spoon. The water follows the curve instead of dropping straight down – that’s the Coanda effect.

Air velocity is created in the center of the craft using a fan and then directing the air flow through an outlet so it follows over the curved surface. The amount of lift generated is dependent upon the velocity, mass and density of the air. To help reduce the weight of the craft and maximize durability the craft are made from carbon fiber.

Since the rotation of the fan causes the body of the UAV to rotate in the opposite direction, Developer can placed a series of vanes in the airflow around the outside of the body to neutralize this effect. Moveable flaps on sections of the lifting surface provide yaw control to allow the UAV to turn left or right. And flaps on the outside of the craft use the lift airflow to provide directional control, causing the craft to tilt and move in the direction of the tilt.

Flying-Cam III E Special Aerial Response Autonomous Helicopter (SARAH) – a fully electric quasi-UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) camera platform for getting those majestic soaring shots for film and television shoots. Developed by FLYING-CAM who has been developing UAV helicopters tailored to close range aerial filming for more than 20 years – Eragon, Van Helsing, Mission Impossible II, Hancock and GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra are just a few of the movies to utilize a Flying-Cam for aerial shots. Now it has only recently turned its expertise to an electric version with an autopilot system.

Although the Flying Cam III isn’t fully autonomous, it does include features that make operation of the craft easier. These include the ability to pre-program a flightpath thanks to a high-end Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) precision navigation and proprietary Computer Assisted Piloting (CAP) autopilot system.

Its helicopter-based design gives it Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) capabilities, while its modular design platform is designed to ensure the Flying-Cam III can carry a variety of payloads. In its standard configuration it weighs 25 kg and includes a stabilized day or night camera sensor and Coded Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (COFDM) HD video transmission. The Flying-Cam III E SARAH was released at the Paris Motor Show.

Hello Guys,

Today I will post my first Maiden flight Video after crow under this heli in middle of the night, crazy and worried about this stuff. That my setting correct? Does Tx Setting was ok? It will Crash for first Flight?  Anyway, i’m engineer for the heli and pilot too… After get couple of help from my buddy Russian guy and American nuts!!  I copy paste exactly how Mr. Douglas setting on he’s Trex.. Especially The way he set up for Idle up 1, Idle up2 and idle up 3. My heli goes absolutely outstanding and smooth.!! Thank Dude!..It’s help Lol.

I found a problems with my Tx which is i use Hitec Optic ( Bought from Cencurut last year). Not only Glitch but signal break too..  Anyway i will story and post on the next post show how i figure up this problem, modified some wire on Tx,  Get rid from radio Glitch, Advanced Setting and so on.

So, Here we are first Maiden Flight.. Still Virgin though.!!

Copter X Review

• Copter X ( Taiwan) reverse engineering model is copycat from Align, Trex 450. Model are exactly pure same with Trex 450.
• The quality are difficult to say but i think somebody have work hard on this model development. So far nothing issue on product materials, gear rack, pinion , belt ,body, and all kits. Overall the are good as hell and cheap too if to compare with Align Model.
• Below image taken after complete assembly

Fresh from the Box

Completed Kit Assembly

Perfect Precision

Done with electronic stuff

Completely Assemble

Next pose I will update more feature about this product. Happy flying..!!

Everytime we change our rc heli main rotor blade (new one), we should get it balance. The need to have a balanced blade is very critical to flying. Here I post a video for your needs.

Don’t do a pre-flight without having your rc heli main rotor blade balanced. Safety first.
