Default Co-Pilot

Hi Bill,

I think you should put the co-pilot on the Kombat Kopter and fly it with only two blades. That should set a new weight record for rotor loading. I can't believe it got off the ground. I think I still have Steve's flight on video. It looks like it almost rolled over just after it lifted off. I bet Steve's thumbs were pretty busy.

The Co-pilot will work OK on just side-to-side control. The calibration will be normal and you will only see the head move. The Wallis should be a real challenge and interesting. You would be the first to try that I'm sure.

Let us know how it works.

Phil
