UPDATE: LARGE 1:8 SCALE AV-8B HARRIER VTOL PROTOTYPE (Designed and flown by Joel Vlashof)
This amazing prototype was designed and built by Joel Vlashof. It is 1:8 scale. 6 KG flying weight. Powered by a 130mm EDF system from Schubeler in Germany. Onboard it has 2 x 6S lithium polymer flight battery packs connected in series. Stabilisation is provided by a kk2.1 flight controller with VTOL software.
Joel will be attempting to transition to traditional flight from a vertical take off soon...and a vertical landing. We wish him the best of luck.

Very impressive. I was in the Falklands conflict. I watched the original demonstration. I wish it had not been necessary though. Great job from you.

@shavian208 5 лет назад

Truly amazing! As one of the first batch of Harrier GR1 pilots on No 1 Sqn in 1969 (yes!) I doff my hat to Joel, a really great engineer. The movement of the aeroplane in the hover was so realistic - just like our first attempts at hovering at Wittering (no 2-seater or flight sim in those early days) groping around all over the pad on the first attempt. I’m looking forward to seeing Joel trying the transition to forward flight and then back to the hover. Joel please don’t try it in a crosswind or you may run out of aileron authority due to intake momentum drag. We had a little six penny wind vane on the nose in front of the cockpit to show us where the apparent wind was coming from. You needed to put in a boot of rudder to stick the nose back into wind - or die! Good luck Joel.

Thanks shavian

@Joelmelanie 5 лет назад

I'd just copied your reply for remamber, always nose into wind

@ryan lemons You Tube Channel!!! yes we did taxi run test on wett grass, now waiting for good weather conditions, alot of rain here in holland😅

@ryan lemons You Tube Channel!!! just say you have a big vacuüm cleaner😅

@shavian208 4 года назад

Peter J Mallia Peter that’s very kind of you, and great to know we were appreciated. The Seventies were the time of Flower Power, peace and love (in the Western democracies at least). At the time many young Brits and other Europeans regarded us as unnecessary militarists to be derided. It took the Falklands to start to change all that and to open their eyes.

@mattstacey7532 6 лет назад

As a former Harrier pilot, I approve this message. Awesome work, Joel!

@Joelmelanie 5 лет назад

Wauw, very cool to have you here

@sgtgrash 6 лет назад

That is bloody awesome! I live a stones throw away from RAF Wittering where Harriers were once stationed (before David Camerons defense spending review ripped the guts out of it), so I am used to seeing these in their natural habitat, so to speak, and I can tell you, Joel, those hovering characteristics are spot on.

@clipartistry 6 лет назад

That is a major achievement, many model builders have spent many hours in pursuit of a true vectored nozzle Harrier

@stevenbreach2561 3 года назад

Hats off recreating such a fiendishly difficult aircraft,and get it to fly!!!

@steveoh4777 5 лет назад

I'm a drone pilot and this is just........WOW !!

@tomhannah3825 5 лет назад

Spectacular, impressive! To think of the awesome real Harrier development, the supreme technical problems they finally overcame, and then to think of all this miniaturized technology harnessed to this well-behaved beast, this is magnificent! One of the best RC flying models ever! :)

@graywoulf 6 лет назад

Pure genius! That is an awesome piece of work Joel. Looking forward to seeing it in full flight.

@occamsrayzor 6 лет назад

That is some incredible thrust from an electric motor!

@Joelmelanie 5 лет назад

Schubeler powerrrr

@McDuffee01 5 лет назад

WOW Great Job! Never saw anything like this in RC Scale! Hope we will soon be witnessing the first succesful transitiion from hovering to flight and back for landing! Thumbs up!

@BreatheRC 5 лет назад

I didn't realise he was only using the kk2 for this that's crazy many thanks as always Dom :)

@Joelmelanie 5 лет назад

Yep just one kk2 board flashed to open aerow Vtol

@zeekwolfe6251 6 лет назад

Flowers were waving in 20 feet away from the thrust of the motors. Nice video!

@stresstech7189 6 лет назад

I was waiting for it to blast off and break the sound barrier... Nice design and thank you for sharing.

@jeffpittel6926 5 лет назад

Nice work Joel,,,hard to believe from the sound it's a EDF and not a turbine powering it. Kudos.

@ericatchley2493 4 года назад

And that's how you nail a job interview with Lockheed Special Projects right out of college. Amazing work!

@the1realanalogman 6 лет назад

Wonderful work in every context. Beautiful ship with hands-down the best sounding EDF I've ever heard!

@romanroad483 6 лет назад

Well done Joel. I have seen many attempts at this over the years but none have been anywhere near as successful as this.

@baneblackguard584 5 лет назад

pretty cool. can't wait to see it go from hover to full flight and back. that would be simply awesome.

@Twin_Flyer 6 лет назад

Impressive! Nice progress, cant wait to see it in forward flight!

@pedrodiaz5540 5 лет назад

Wow this is serious stuff congratulations

@bingbingbongbong2615 6 лет назад

Watching you evolve. Great that you're succeeding. Good fortune to you bud. Following your progress.... can't wait for final.

@starmarky 6 лет назад

I like the sound, because the noise of the airflow inside that thing is so much louder than the ducted fan itself. Sounds really scale, like a downsized jet engine.

@websitesthatneedanem 6 лет назад

.... even sounds right!

@rickbrubaker836 6 лет назад

Awesome!! Great job Joel. Gotta see that transition though. That will be one of the coolest things Iv'e ever seen next to a real harrier flying! Keep it up, Best of luck!

@akashtriveditrivedi3989 5 лет назад

What a nice Leafblower

@antonrudenham3259 6 лет назад

It even sounds like one, fantastic work Joel!

@emjayw3018 6 лет назад

Sweet, nice job, awsome engineering and dam that's a lot of thrust from an EDF, amazing that it's all working with a VTOL mix, considering the need for bleed air to run the puffer as well as the thrust vectoring.. awsome setup, I can't wait to see it transition to wing lift and back to a hover👍👍

@chrismarx4717 4 года назад

All I can say is Wow! Had this on my bucket list once before but this has given me me resolve

@waynester71 5 лет назад

Mind blown.. I was thinking whether someone had ever done this.. question answered. I doff my hat sir

@qturn4726 5 лет назад

@Martin_Adams184 4 года назад

A superb achievement! The comment by shavian208 - a pilot of full-size Harriers - says it all. Well done . . . .

@nevillecreativitymentor 6 лет назад

Joel may all the gods of VTOL shower their blessings on you .... may you transition perfectly.!! ( i mean from V to H to V!!!)

This very talented engineer may be able to develop a commercial R/C Pegasus engine wow ! I guess it would be expensive and only for the purist though .

@EssentialRC 6 лет назад

Joel told me his employer supports him a lot on this project. Using their equipment and time during the week to work on it. Can't say fairer than that. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

@hughjohnston 6 лет назад

This is really advanced cutting edge R/C heaven and I am so impressed .Even the F35 he did was fantastic he really is a top dog engineering prodigy well done !
