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."
Fikri Noerhadi replied to roksraka's discussion Where to get started with UAV helicopters?"Great explanations, thanks!"
Skip Frombach replied to roksraka's discussion Where to get started with UAV helicopters?"Hello,
The difference is quite simple. On the single rotor helicopter (with tail rotor) you conrol rotation about the rotor mast by the tail rotor. It is used for anti torque as well as directional…"
Fikri Noerhadi replied to roksraka's discussion Where to get started with UAV helicopters?"Hi Skip,
I'm newbie too. I want to ask, what are the differences between the coaxial and the tail rotors heli?"
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…"

"& invest in a good flight simulator for practice ( like Real flight simulator or any good one) ,practice a lot on it. it will save you lot of money and grief too. Good luck."
Skip Frombach replied to roksraka's discussion Where to get started with UAV helicopters?"Hello,
RC helicopters can be many things but the one thing most will agree on is that they can be very difficult to fly. Even more so; expensive to crash. But they can also be quite rewarding to master. Here are some of my suggestions to you:
#1.…"

James replied to roksraka's discussion Where to get started with UAV helicopters?"Hey,
Its probably best that before going and build a UAV Helicopter you go out and get yourself a small electric helicopter (Thunder Tiger Mini Titan or something along those lines) and learn to fly that first. Then progress to something more…"

"Don't start with a heli. It will cost you thousands of dollars and months of work to get it to fly, and that's assuming you're a great programmer. Start with an EasyStar, learn to fly it in RC mode, and then add an ArduPilot.
This…"

Hi!I would like to make an autonomous helicopter. I've heard that planes are easier, so I can't decide... I have never flown a heli or a plane before. I have 800 dollars, what's the best uav setup for me? (Note: I'm an absolute beginner and I really like helicopters?Where should I start, what should I buy? Please reply!!!Thanks you!See More
roksraka commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Five good planes to convert to a UAV"does the SuperStar have a simulator? (I really need it because I can't go out very often so I would liko to try out my autopilot at home...)"
roksraka commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Setting up ArduPilot for autonomous flight"can I simulate all these flights on the computer (if I have an EasyStar)?"
roksraka commented on Chris Anderson's blog post ArduPilot home page"I've got the plane, I've got the Ardupilot... Now what? Where do I get started?"
