VF - 1 I want to fly Valkyrie (Valkyrie), the first flight of impression - YouTube


The initiative of the project is very simple, starting with the desire to "fly Valkyrie."


Start from drawing drawing drawing based on setting materials collection and plastic model etc.


Full scratch to handmade everything by ourselves.


It gradually becomes shape.



Make a test machine on the way and check the center of gravity position. This center of gravity position remains as a difficult subject until the end.


The finished product is Roy Focker machine and two Vermillion platoon units.


Check the movements of the wheels, flaps and so on.


Although I try to actually fly, I do not have signs to climb up, I can not read the timing of the nose rise at take off, control is difficult even if it goes up ... ....


However, after trial and error, it finally succeeded in takeoff.


Although it can jump up, if it does not make the last landing it is meaningless ....


Successfully, the landing has also succeeded.



Following the Vermilion platoon, Roy Focker aircraft successfully flew.


After this, the aircraft is said to be meeting with the original author (Mr. Masaharu Kawamori who was in charge of mechanical design)?
