Dave Hickman replied to roksraka's discussion Where to get started with UAV helicopters?"Coaxial eliminates the torque from the power plant / motor w/ counter rotating rotor blades. Single mast helo w/ a tail rotor need the tail rotor to eliminate the torque and for yaw control."
Dave Hickman replied to Dave Hickman's discussion Human Interface Rotor System Helicopter (HIR) Unmanned and Manned Platforms"Aluminum airframe mock up prior to going back to the gimbal. Shown here is a spherical bearing in place of the gimbal.

Dave Hickman replied to roksraka's discussion Where to get started with UAV helicopters?"Fixed pitch main hub is a good start. If you get a full collective then you must deal with the angular difference between retreating and advancing blades when maneuvering from a hover into lateral flight... lets say in a left lateral shift…"
Dave Hickman replied to djhoser's discussion motors"some of the smaller ones like the Honey Bee use a 4 or 4.5 volt. Not much get up and go

- military full time; part time independent inventor / basement engineer.
- Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
- Mostly rotorcraft; I enjoy mechanical problem solving in left field; 1 patent; still tweaking it; www.envisionhelicopters.com; not a business yet.....at least not until I retire in 4 years. I'm really inrigued with HMI / HAM and smart control systems integrated into aircraft, but with a realistic approach.
