RE: balancing Thunder Tiger Ecureuil scale fuse

Don't know as much about the aerodynamics of RC helicopters as I do about the real ones. As far as the inside tuck in a sharp turn, which direction are you turning in relation to the rotation of the...

RE: trex 450 with 4 or 5 blade head

That ballooning up on forward flight that you refered to is an aerodymanic indicator that you're outflying your rotor system. When you fly to fast you will reach retreating blade stall (look it up if...

RE: Ground Resonance!!..watch this video for sure!!!

As stated above this is dependent on the M/R design. Anything with a fully articulated rotor head can get into ground resonance. Your OH-58D has 4 blades spaced out at 90 Degree intervals. Change...

RE: how to find large scale car kits

Great, Thank you. I see a lot of 1/10 and 1/12 scale. They look scale as far as body goes, but what about chasis, running gear and handling? Is Tamiya the only ones doing kits like this?

how to find large scale car kits

I have a curiosity question for everyone. It would seem that boat builders and large scale aircraft builders are intent on making working scale models but I don’t seem to see much of the same...

I'm not an engineer, but that's what I'm going to school for. I just fly them for the WA National Guard. They're a lot of fun. In military circles, information regarding type specific aircraft...

RE: Ground Resonance!!..watch this video for sure!!!

Such a waste of a good helicopter. If you're able to watch the slow motion footage you'll see one of the aft blades break its blade damper grip. That is the cause of the aft pylon seperating from...

RE: LH or RH Rotation?

If you're interested in doing a scale project, the direction of rotation will be something you'll want to pay attention to. All us designed/manufactured helicopters rotate in the counter-clockwise...

RE: Cheap ebay Hong Kong Jet Ranger Fuse

That would depend on if the modeler wanted to model for form or function. It looks like gentleben1952 did a good job of modeling scale (form) for his helicopter.

It looks great.

RE: 1st heli flight : Scary

The way the rotor system in a Tandem vibes, that's the best nap you'll ever have. It just shakes in a way that relaxes you and puts you to sleep. A 20 minute nap feels like an hour.

RE: 1st heli flight : Scary

Scary? Exactly.

Just looking at the configuration of the Robinson helicopters makes me nervous. Something about the cyclic stick design, small airframe and the low inertia rotor system...

RE: Ecureuil AS 350, 3 blade scale heli (video)

RE: Has anyone tried a Chinook?

I hope that clarifies yaw control for you. A couple of things to eliminate some possible confusion. It was stated correctly by 47Steve that yaw control is vectored thrust in opposing...

To explain the aerodynamics associated with a tandem rotor helicopter I’ll discuss a few general helicopter aerodymanic phenomina.

RE: Has anyone tried a Chinook?

I've been pretty busy as well and have had to shelve the project for a bit. I did pick up an Autocad program to assist with the design and have seen other autocad chinook designs as well. I'll get...

RE: Has anyone tried a Chinook?

A few years ago, a Chinook was on a ferry flight when the flight control hydraulic system jammed up. This caused the helicopter to enter into an inverted (rolled greater then 90°) and nose low...

RE: Can you start a heli's blades mid-air?

I think I'll throw my two cents in.

Theoretically it would be possible provided a few things happened before hand. Realistically though, it would be doubtful due to the reasons listed above. ...
