Horizon's New Mystery Model

Look what I came across on RCGroups forum. That's the pogo I was referring to in this post. The new flying thing the E-flite has is a pogo of days gone by.

Can you even think of what the pilot was thinking while trying to land this thing.

I saw a video back in the late 1950's of this thing flying and landing. Pilot said he'd not fly it again.

Reminds me of a co-axail. one set going left the other going right.

WOW!

Nice find Jack, that looks truly terrifying. I can't even imagine trying to land anything with my back to the ground!

EDIT: I found a video: Shocked

The co-axial style prop on the Pogo makes me wonder how the Hyper Taxi is going to fight reactive torque when it's hovering. There must be enough prop wash flowing over the control surfaces to control reactive torque with a little opposite aileron?

I had to fight Reactive Torque once.

I kicked him really really hard in the stones....worked a treat.

...Oh, wait....that was Peter Tork.

Never mind.

Nice video find Nick, that is the first time I have seen anything like this, you can only admire how creative they was in those days.

That must be a bugger to land on a windy day.
