Bill's E-flite X-VERT VTOL RTF Demo Flight

This is my buddy Bill's E-flite X-VERT VTOL RTF Demo Flight. This is a very unique RC Aircraft that has been on my radar for a while, but I haven't pulled the trigger. Bill made it so I didn't have to and put on a show for us in this video.

Horizon Hobby came out with this around a year ago and has been selling them at a deep discount recently for this ready to fly kit that comes with this VTOL RC Plane and the Spektrum DXe Radio.

This is how this part RC Plane & RC Multirotor is described on its product page on the Horizon Hobby website:

"The X-VERT® VTOL gives you all the fun and versatility of a Vertical Take Off and Landing aircraft without the need for complex mechanics or fancy programming. It also makes the transition between multirotor and airplane flight as easy as flipping a switch. You can take the XVERT flight experience to a whole different level by adding the patent-pending, servo-driven FPV camera mount that automatically transitions your FPV camera whenever the X-VERT is switched between the airplane and multirotor flight modes (FPV components sold separately).

Sleek and Simple Design

A lot of VTOL aircraft require complex mechanisms like tilting wings and motors to achieve vertical and forward flight. The X-VERT park flyer's simple, tail-sitter design and SAFE stabilization technology allow it to fly like an airplane or a multirotor using nothing more than differential thrust and its elevons. The simplicity of this design also makes the lightweight, EPO airframe remarkably durable.

SAFE® Flight Control Software Makes it Easy

At the heart of it all is exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) flight control software that has been expertly tuned so almost any RC pilot can experience the fun of VTOL flight.

Automated Transition

Making the transition between multirotor and airplane flight is as simple as flipping a switch. The flight controller will automatically transition the aircraft from one to the other using SAFE technology to stabilize everything so you can relax and have fun.

3 Flight Modes

The advanced flight control software features three flight modes that, along with the model's light wing loading and efficient aerodynamics, give you a wide range of performance.

- Multirotor Stability Mode

This mode allows you to take off and land vertically like a multirotor aircraft. It's also great for indoor flight. In this mode the aircraft's tail remains pointed at the ground while the flight controller uses a combination of differential thrust and elevons to control pitch, bank and rotation. Pitch and bank angles are limited, and SAFE technology will work to keep the model in a stable hover whenever you release the sticks.

- Airplane Stability Mode

In this mode the aircraft responds to pitch, roll and yaw commands like a typical airplane. SAFE technology limits pitch and bank angles so new pilots can experience airplane flight without accidentally rolling upside down or losing control. It will also return the wings to level whenever the sticks are released.

- Airplane Acro Mode with AS3X® Technology

In Airplane Acro Mode the model becomes an agile, fully aerobatic flying wing. There are no angle limits or self-leveling. The large, long-throw elevons will allow you to perform incredibly tight turns as well as a wide range of aggressive aerobatic maneuvers. And because you have the forward thrust of two brushless motors working for you, there is plenty of speed and power to spare. You can even use the differential thrust of the motors for yaw control to perform wild spinning and tumbling maneuvers.

FPV Ready

You can take the X-VERT flight experience to a whole different level by adding the recommended FPV accessories to the space allocated on the airframe (FPV components sold separately). The optional, patent-pending camera mount is servo-driven to transition your FPV camera automatically whenever the X-VERT is switched between the airplane and multirotor flight modes.

Multirotor versatility and sport plane agility and it includes a pre-programmed Spektrum DXe transmitter with no setup required"
