And who is questioning the system in your helicopter?
Many times in many threads, including this one. Also consider that the Raptor mechanical system is almost a direct copy of our control system, so it CAN be considered in the same category.
If you place the aileron servo anywhere else on the frames, it WILL NOT work the same.
AHH but it WILL!! I already stated that the original design DID have it stationary. It was moved to prevent a binding issue and getting rid of a troublesome (failure prone) bellcrank....
But the term mCCPM would not look good on the side of an Interpid box.
EXACTLY!! LOL!!!
Evan,
The mixing I'm talking about is typically above the swash. why is it irrelevent? it still needs to happen? I think that is the issue, you are making a point only with the radio system and we are talking the whole system, radio and helo mechanics.
OK..CCPM or no? FlyBarless...There's NO mixing here either!!!
Chris: Can we agree that there are three types of controls?
1. The pure electronic CCPM as you describe (as in the TRex),
2. the one that somehow mechanically, the swashplate moves up and down for collective control (as in the Raptor), and
3. the one where the washout base (or other parts of the head) is the one that controls the collective pitch angle, but the swashplate does not move up and down for collective control (as in the Kyosho Concept).
Can we at least agree that those are the 3 types of controls?
I would say there are MORE than 3, but in CURRENT use TODAY you have;
3 servo 120 CCPM
3 Servo 140 CCPM
4 servo CCPM
Single Servo
This is how the RADIO's spell them out.
I don't believe anyone manufactures a 3 servo 90 degree CCPM anymore...
So MY question would be, why not make it VERY simple and EASY to understand, there are TWO types of controls in use today, CCPM and Single Servo.
Most everyone (save you few here
) understands what CCPM is, electronically mixing 3 or 4 servos to move the swash.
A very LITTLE bit of education would get those to understand that "single servo" means a single servo operating Aileron, a single servo operating elevator, a single servo operating collective. Since that's how it's explained IN THE RADIO, why not use it for your evolutionary concept?
