MantaRay Prototype 1230

MantaRay Prototype 1230mm Variable Pitch Quadrotor

love the sound she makes, the beast is very agile in the air

[alishanmao]

I knew you were going to do that. just was waiting to see it in real action. Now we can all look forward to huge variable pitch Quads that can lift bigger cams, and fly for 2 hours or so :D great work as always :)

Great platform, much more environment friendly with the large rotor blades.I like the idea of both gas and electric options.

[bigfatbill]

Absolutely amazing. You are a pioneer in this industry Curtis.

[TobiasAwadis]

That thing is absolutely huge.. Truly awesome

[TheJclone]

Dude, this is so damn sweet! This needs to be in movies! Like it!!

[ParkerLumpee]

Great work, I knew someone would eventually figure out the IC quads. It looks much better than other prototypes I've seen.

[penztoy]

That's some crazy shit right there... James Bond stuff for sure.

[Godscountry]

What I like, maybe Curtis will touch base on this, it appears to be much quieter with the larger heli type blades.We found a way around pollution, now with the larger blades we can reduce noise too.Cool!!!!

Outstanding work!!! Well, the next step is a two passenger version. Use the same engine in a Robinson r22 helicopter! Human flight with a gyro stabilized quad is the future! Let's make it happen!

[billyvray]

Very cool. Seems like a big lift copter could be made with a big gas engine coupled to even larger blades, like helicopter blades, do some heavy lifting for spraying, cleaning, or camera work.

Makes my Ladybird look a tad tame :) Great vid and truely awesome prototype, guys like this really make it happen, lovin' this

[pauld]

Awesome. VP props is the only way quads will go big as the rotor inertia of the bigger props will kill the response time needed for quad flight. VP takes that out of the equation. Nicely done.

Well done Mr Youngblood  i have one big wish i want to fly like you do your a God of RC 

[rickhead]

I new there would be a bigger one before long.  Looking good Curtis!

[StefsEngineering]

I really like the sound of the electric one. Much better than the propeller MC's

[timmytronz]

It may be soon time to revive this prototype! I just got a craving for one.

[boboanderbobo]

The fuel powered version looked heavy in flight. Both are still cool!

Geiles teil. Wird zeit das sowas aufm Markt kommt

When I first saw the Stingray 500 in action, I thought it would be the perfect proven design platform for a IC version. With the high energy density of liquid fuel we will be able to get extreme flight durations and distances. For search and rescue, surveillance, etc..  Thanks for the inspiration.
