Nice piece of machinery!! Noticing the locking hardware and all the nice machining. The main rotor head and tail rotor linkages are nice pieces of engineering. Helicopters are such amazing "contraptions", which is the appeal. I get the impression from earlier postings that you might be involved in the company that makes these kits; if so, thanx for making this activity available to more people who can't afford the full-blown machines.

Just thought of something. When hovering an RC helicopter with the nose pointing at you left becomes right and forward becomes backward on the cyclic input and takes a bit of getting used to. So it would be like you sat in the seat applying left cyclic and the helicopter rolling to the right.

Search here on KZfaq for Autorotation. Helicopters can indeed glide without power, using airspeed to drive the rotor and then land using the rotational energy stored in that rotor. So if the main rotor separates or something like that then yes, you are dead, but if the engine stops, you have options to get it safely to the ground.

@coriscotupi 10 жыл бұрын

billt460 - Go look up "dissymetry of lift", it is helicopters 101 stuff. In a nutshell, helicopter rotors are built to deal with this automatically, there is no action required from the pilot to specifically address this (except keep airspeed within limits). Advancing blade flaps up, retreating blade flaps down, effectively changing their angles of attack (thus lift) balancing out the lift on both sides when the helicopter moves at any nonzero speed.

Without tail rotor input the fuselage will begin to rotate in the direction the main rotor is turning (top Blade) as soon as the aircraft gets light on the skids, even before it's off the ground. Pulling the collective without coordinated left peddle and cyclic will send you on a very unwanted circus ride.

@FASTPISTOLDRAW 8 жыл бұрын

technicaly speaking the blades do not take a "bite" of air . what is happening is the blades as they change pitch there is low pressure on top of the blades. And high underneath the blades thus giving the helicopter lift.

@wowforreeel 8 жыл бұрын

+FASTPISTOLDRAW - layman's terms

@bronwindraney5111 8 жыл бұрын

+FASTPISTOLDRAW I'd disagree. As in a fixed wing airplane, the rotors are just like wings. It tales a measure of angle of attack, the rotor or wing actually DOES scoop or bite the air. This is HOW the low pressure above and high pressure below is created. Pitch is the degree to which the angle of attack is applied to get more or less lift. In fundamental terms you can reduce a great deal of aeronautical jargon into the fact the a wing or rotor, scoops the air and pushes it down while Newton's law takes effect and lifts the machine.

STEVE R JR false, just like a variable pitch prop. Some of the resulting thrust come from the AOA of the blades and not from the airfoil itself

RPM means revolutions per minute, It's how fast the blades turning, or this case how fast the engine is turning. You always want to keep your RPM's in the green, remember more power to the engine more left pedal input for lift. It's basically the same as your car engine ( when checking your timing their checking your RPM's. Hope this was helpful?

Explain the "controls are offset 90 degrees" thing a bit more. I don't recall that from poking spinning gyroscopes. When I poked them they'd just start some kind of weird precession... but then I was poking them at the top.

+CHOPPERGIRL AIRWAR Gyroscopic procession : when force is applied to a rotating body, the reaction from that force occurs 25% later in the rotation

@choppergirl 5 жыл бұрын

Errr.... when a force is applied to anything, I think a reaction from that force should occur immediately, unless you are getting into einstein territory... ....and being sure to look at things on a molecular level, no macro level, which could hide a reaction because of the elasticity of the object. For example, kicking a soccer ball, the soccer ball will not immediately move in total because of inertia, but it certainly is deforming and reacting at the point of impact and the reaction is traveling through the air inside and across the surface of the soccer ball...

Good question. As speed increases the loss of lift from the retreating blade theoretically will eventually invert the aircraft, but helicopters don't fly that fast.

@jerrywsoloflex 13 жыл бұрын

They will "drift down" if one remembers to quickly lower the collective and maintain forward speed by diving. In aviation jargon it's called an "auto-rotation." The wind keeps the blades turning, in effect a flywheel storing energy, to be used during the flare to stop and lower the ship to the ground. You get ONE try to do it right!

@jman9295 The Mad max machine was a gyrocopter, not a helicopter. A gyrocopter has a free wheeling main rotor and a pusher or puller propeller to push it forward to keep the main rotor spinning. They don't fly backwards/sideways or hover like a helicopter. They do look like helicopters though so easy to confuse.
