I am having many issues trying to use fan shrouds to make a tilt wing vtol aircraft.
1. How do you even get the shrouds attached? The only attachment point is the one inside for the motor.
2. Is there an upside and a downside orientation for the shrouds? I cannot tell if the side with the motor mount is supposed to be at the top or the bottom.
3. I am also unable to actually to get the fan blades evenly attached, especially once the motor is mounted inside the shroud. Should I maybe try to build the motor and blade assembly first then mount it inside? When I have tried this way I seem to be unable to get the motor to mount to ANYTHING.
4. I only have the small shrouds and motors right now. What is the most I can get them to lift, weight-wise, using 6 or 8 fans?
Any tutorials or help would be appreciated. I am terrible at building fixed wing aircraft, and was hoping to make something the could land vertically and also get most of its lift and velocity solely from fans. I should also mention I am currently trying to use fixed wing surfaces, and just tilt the shrouds for vectoring.
