AMAZING Micro XXS 'Eta' INDOOR POWERED GLIDER: Daniel Hör (Picasso of Depron) 

hi

How could anyone get upset LOLOLOL 💙💙

We're not *upset*, we're just doubtful about the term. A "powered" glider is rather like "canned" fresh fruit or a "pedaled" automobile.

A glider of any sort should spend much of its time gliding. The fact that a Boeing 747 had all of its engines shut down in flight for a while doesn't make 747s powered gliders. Apart from the landing, did your airplane glide at all?

...but the shape is definetly resembling the one of a glider. I bet a 747 not flying with any of its engines at all you wouldn't call a glider aswell, would you?! By the way very cool plane! @philipsmith1990

Hey Daniel - You English is far better than my German...which is actually non-existent! You did a great job in sharing the information about your glider. At that moment I did not really understand about the ESCs connected to the actuators on the elevator and rudder. Just fantastic. Thanks again. Dom (Essential RC)

Hi thanks for this insight on gliders. Kindly email me at nyanyoventures@gmail.com let talk.

Thank you! :)

Your English is just fine (Viel besser als mein Deutsch!) - and that glider is absolutely amazing!

We know...

In that alternate reality, we would all have personal flying cars by now. ;-)

They would have killed you for being a witch.

@@gravypatron And then they themselves would have been arrested and tried for murder since the last known case for witch trials was in 1693 and the Wright Brothers invented the airplane in 1903. It's quite more likely that they would have said, "Screw the tiny airplane buddy, please show us your time machine!!"

They would hair Hoer as a God.

Id imagine they wouldn’t be impressed

It's really fast, I'm surprised 😃

no

Lol

That wouldn’t... not work

For that thing, a zippo would do.

I was thinking 2-3 space heaters in the middle of the floor pointed up might create a column of lift.

How about just placing an electric fan on the floor pointing straight up ? This will get you your updraft.

Yeah cause everyone lives in a warehouse hey!

@@Sumcant 😂😂😂😂u just roasted him.

@@Sumcant 😂😂😂😂, exactly 🤪🤪🤪

Thanks just wanted to see the dam thing fly.

@@artshirleypv same!

Me too.

I too have flown with Walter Binder, in South Africa, two flights of over 850 Km. The wings are so flexible that you have to be very gentle on the controls or else they get into interesting shapes!! Stalky

Even if he made $20 profit on 1000 planes, he would need to sell several new models per year to hit regular wage in the US (maybe if he sold 3k per year, and then at $20 profit per plane he’d break even with a normal decent job, not high paying but decent). I feel like the first thousand in a batch would cost a lot of money... Probably very labor intensive and manual at this stage. Maybe he has the funds for full scale mass production and full autonomous factory, but even then it would be many years to recoup that, but that’s probably the only way to make it worth it. I could see selling the designs and 3d prints as a side hobby for a few thousand dollars, but that means it should take up no more than a couple weeks at most of effort (with my experience of 3d printing, it rarely goes to plan, some don’t come out right, and a good printer like that model probably requires is very expensive, plus you still have upkeep and maintenance just like a CNC machine, speaking of which my FDM needs it’s worn out nozzle replaced, and thankfully has a fresh set of linear bearings but the linear shafts need to be rotated for wear reasons because I don’t want to replace them just yet, and the extruder housing has worn a bit and the compression fittings on my Bowden tubes are just about shot... Yep, my car has less maintenance, and it’s the notorious rotary engine RX-8!) I’d just sell the CAD files for DIY hobbiests and maybe a high premium for a kit. Full production seems like it won’t compete in today’s market where everyone will look at this like it’s a $10 toy or compare it to an $8 capacitor powered plane and the cost of $5 in servos/actuators and expect it for $20 total (instead of $20 profit on whatever it costs). But a few dozen might buy a $100 kit, that’s just not much money though...

And shortly after, cheap Chinese version will pop up and bye2

Unlikely : you can't fly this outside, and to fly it inside you need this kind of huge hangar.

ya, but I bet Chinese small models already have actuators, example rc micro cars... awesome stuff anyway

He could just sell the files to print that thing. Not that much potential profit but zero investment or risk.

thats what i was thinking. glide ratio is much steeper than i expected still a beautiful model but kinda disappointed it is not floatier

Metaldirtnskin FPV Would need a larger wing chord, more lift and drag... but yeah i expected it to be slower, but it looks reasonably heavy as well so that definitley impacts the glide ratio

Wing is to scale which gives a high wing loading. Wing loading determines the speed range that a glider flies at. The glide ratio is not scale because of the very low Reynolds number-wing chord.

I kinda _expected_ it to be fast, seems like such a small chord would need speed to get lift.

Cool but needs more jet engines and lasers maybe?

United Space Pirates you sound like a space pirate🤣

@@woc144kreborn2 lol, you sound like a human... No offense.

🔵 It IS real!!!....did you think it was a CGI?

I noticed the same. by the sounds it makes must have a crazy amount of rpm

Glider at 10 gms is light enough...

The motors are normally used in micro quads.

WaW

Yup. I thought so too. Just one of many unique scratch built models displayed by the DMFV Indoor Team at this event. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

You just called me an old fart. I would rather references to me be known as mature flatulence. :-)

@@joewoodchuck3824 LOL. Aged in the barrel like me? ;-)

@@theoztreecrasher2647 In the barrel, over the barrel. I think that's how the word flatlander came to be. Flatulence out on the land. Maybe not. And it's no longer SHTF. It's now a Fecal Blizzard.

I’m 11 and I fly in rc airshows

I don’t remember asking Jk that’s pretty awesome

Christian Pilz , ja richtig

Seconded

Gyr_FPV I kept saying the same thing until I realized I wanted to see every craft on the table fly.

Its on youtube, really nice model.

Pavia 1525 you seem to have a very bad dentist, if he makes your teeth hurt...

Pavia 1525 LOL

Savage!

Matlab tumhara teeth sada hua hai

lmao

Mark serjant thank u

Jeeze good point i bet you could keep that thing in the air for hours if you knew what you where doing!

You are wrong ;) IRL or even in R/C the motor is used to climb to height then is shut off. In R/C outdoor types you then go chase a thermal or ridge lift and keep going without the motor.

It seems to have a glide ratio of about 4:1 so it needs a motor.

@@joejoejoejoejoejoe4391 I have slightly larger gliders that will handle outdoor use. Generally 2-8 knots of wind looking at the speed it should do 'ok' in similar conditions without the motor. Low Reynolds numbers on the really narrow chord won't help either.

@@seabreezecoffeeroasters7994 the engine never turned off. It did not glide

@@AZCaveMan480 He did for a few seconds. Look at the roof height and have some understanding of the Aerodynamics of this sort of glider and the space he was working in a decent job of flying it best case unpowered time in the air might be 5-6 seconds in that space as you are always turning which kills the glide.
