Not Your Average RC Jet: TRUE VTOL F-35 in Action!

Check out this simple F-35 as it displays vertical takeoff and landing, showcasing its TRUE VTOL capabilities. Designed and flown by Eric Maglio of Lofted Aero, he's managed to accomplish what many have tried. Pretty awesome proof of concept and I'm sure there will be a more scale version coming.😀 #f35 #vtol #rcplanes

For a while I was confused at how it was stable when in VTOL. But then I finally noticed the rotor in each wing. It's a simpler but cool approach compared to the real one.

Wow, things have changed since I was a kid and we used cables to control things.

That is amazing that someone was able to take actual VTOL abilities and transfer them into an RC aircraft! 😮 Super sweet RC jet!

Now that's what I'm talking about that is just beautiful... F-35 American made it don't get no better than this.. and this hobby is progressing everyday getting better and better and better....

Manages to transition to and from forward flight!!
My hats is off to you

The thrust vectoring at the wings has to be putting out more thrust than the main engine to achieve stable flight, it has some sound engineering.

That is the type of RC I imagined as a young boy flying around my neighborhood except it was a helicopter at first that was like Airwolf then later changed to VTOL Harrier Jump Jet.
Such things did not exist in my space time then.
I love that triple swivel engine exhaust and the paint scheme faithful to the first prototypes.
I want one!

La cantidad de ingeniería y trabajo que tiene este aparato para hacer lo que hace es monumental..Felicitaciones..

[garyspencersalt]

Above average engineering, I am in awe!

[heliharris]

Stunning achievement... Raises the stakes somewhat... Well done 🎉

Rc jets performing real time fighter operations across globe with matching state of art accuracy

Absolutely Awesome . This one takes the crown. Incredible job guys. Love to see more like this.

Damn, I always talk smack about how seriously _airsofters take their sport_ but I think *yall take the cake with this one* 😂😂

[keithgreen]

Nice.. better than the wooden planes I grew up with no motor

[Watthead]

Is that an EDF? That's rather impressive.

[shownuff]

Iv seen the 3d printed EDF vtol planes and this is equally impressive

[PierreFerraro-evey]

Il est plus stable et se pose plus facilement qu'un vrai 😮 faut pas le dire mais... En tout cas bravo à la personne qui l'a fait et bravo au pilote qui le maîtrise 👌💯

😊as always super interesting tx for sharing!
