XV-15 Tiltrotor - a photo on Flickriver

XV-15 Tiltrotor

It's been a while since I posted a new finished model, but this one was a bit more involved than most. It's motorized using components from Circuit Cubes, who sent me some of their products in return for me giving them feedback on how to improve them. I decided to test them by using them in a model.

The model uses three "Cubit" motors: two for the proprotors and one for the tilting mechanism. They're powered and controlled using a rechargeable "Bluetooth Cube" mounted inside of the fuselage, just behind the cockpit. This is controlled remotely using an app on my phone.

I have used BrickArms with some of my models, but I am a LEGO purist at heart. However, I couldn't have motorized a model this small using only LEGO elements. And the motorization really does add a lot to it.
