Talk:Proxflyer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Article sounds as though it was written by someone with financial interest in the product:

  • There is no talk of limitations of the design; e.g., how does the simplicity affect maneuverability, performance, etc?
  • There are no negative attributes described.
  • There are some exaggerations; e.g., "Silent: the mechanical drives and the rotors generate no noise" -- This is impossible. Unit may be extremely quiet, but cannot be silent.

Counter-rotating rotor heads have been in existence for more than 50 years. It would be useful to explain how the Muren patent is different from or improves on the original concept. It also appears that this article may describe the prototype used to develop the Interactive Toy Concepts Micro Mosquito. In that case, this article should be merged into the latter. -- algocu 17:17, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

12 May 2007 algocu suggest that the article is not neutral and that it sounds as though it was written by someone with financial interest in the product. Being the inventor of the Proxflyer system (Petter Muren), I can herby state that to my knowledge the original writer of the article does not have any commercial interest in Proxflyer or its helicopters. It might also be of interest to note that none of the Proxflyer helicopters are for sale. However, I agree that the neutrality of the original article could be disputed and because the article describe me and my helicopters I have found it correct to edit it. I hope it now appears more neutral (but still positive).

Even dough ITC has a licence to utilize the Proxflyer rotor system all the Proxflyer prototypes were developed and published independently from the ITC Micro Mosquito, hence, there should be no need to merge the two pages.

How is the Muren design better than the stabilizer bar system (Arthur M. Young)? It's hard to understand how the Muren design works from the description. I have seen a Micro Mosquito clone called the Syma 608 which uses the stabilizer bar system - seems to fly OK.

Don't merge. Prox Dynamics focus on creating expensive micro UAV's for the military etc even though they have licenced some of their technology to interactive toy concepts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.18.216.204 (talk) 21:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
