Pterosaur RC VTOL – Radio Controlled Tiltrotor

Pterosaur RC VTOL is a ready-to-fly radio-controlled tiltrotor that takes off vertically like a multirotor, then transitions into efficient forward flight like a plane. No runway required. No servos or complex tilt actuators on the airframe.

  • True RC tiltrotor VTOL — hover and wing-borne forward flight
  • Push button HOVER to FLY transition on the included transmitter
  • Computer-stabilized; familiar Mode 2 stick layout
  • Indoor hover · outdoor FLY mode (FLY is outdoor only)
  • No servos, linkages, or control surfaces to break

Frequently Asked Questions

Some common questions about Pterosaur. Please contact us with any other questions you may have.

Q1: What is an RC VTOL?

A1: An RC VTOL (radio-controlled vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) takes off, hovers and lands vertically like a drone, then transitions into fast forward flight on its wing like an RC plane. Many RC VTOLs use tiltrotors, which are motors that tilt between hover and forward flight. Pterosaur is a ready-to-fly RC VTOL with passive-tilt rotors: press one button to switch between HOVER and FLY, with computer stabilization in both modes.

Q2: How does Pterosaur HOVER and FLY mode work?

A2: In HOVER, Pterosaur lifts off and holds position like a drone. Press FLY and it tilts into forward flight on its wing.

Q3: Is Pterosaur mechanically complicated?

A3: No. Our PTERO passive-tilt design means no servos, linkages, or control surfaces.

Q4: Is Pterosaur easy to fly?

A4: YES. Pterosaur is computer-stabilized in pitch, roll and yaw in both HOVER and FLY flight modes. Transitioning between flight modes is as simple as pressing a button.

Q5: Is Pterosaur easy to break?

A5: No. There are no servos, linkages, or control surfaces to break.

Q6: How much is Pterosaur?

A6: $49.50 with free shipping.

Q7: Does Pterosaur ship globally?

A7: Yes. Global free shipping is included.

Q8: Does Pterosaur include a remote controller?

A8: Yes. Each Pterosaur ships with a remote controller:

  • 4-channel
  • 2.4 GHz
  • Mode 2
  • Requires 4× AA batteries (not included)

Q9: Do I need to buy batteries?

A9: Only 4 AA batteries for the remote. Two aircraft batteries are included.

Q10: What batteries does Pterosaur use?

A10: 3.7V 500mAh LiPo. About 100 minutes to charge by USB, and under 10 minutes of flight per battery.

Q11: What is included with Pterosaur?

A11:

  • 1× Pterosaur aircraft
  • 1× Remote controller
  • 2× Aircraft batteries
  • 1× USB charger
  • 4× Spare propellers
  • 1× User manual

Q12: Can Pterosaur be flown indoors and outdoors?

A12: HOVER works indoors or outdoors. FLY is for outdoor use only.

Q13: Why should I buy Pterosaur instead of a regular drone?

A13: A drone cannot fly, it only hovers. Pterosaur can hover and also fly like an airplane.

Q14: Why should I buy Pterosaur instead of a regular airplane?

A14: An airplane cannot hover, it only flies. Pterosaur can fly and also hover like a drone.
