Folding Blades

7,004 Skykid028  3 days ago

a sneak peek at what I've been up to. I just created a six-bladed rotor head that folds.

This helicopter is nowhere near done but I thought I would share this

Shout-out to 2Papi2Chulo and his SH-60 since this was originally from his build I just converted it from a four-bladed to a six-bladed rotor head

    ... I'll have to dissect it.

    @Graingy what I mean is there's two rotators on each rotor blade that are mainly responsible for folding the blades back. There's only one set on theirs but on mine there's a second set that's responsible for the two outermost blades resting on the sides of the fuselage.

    @Graingy mainly focus on the rotators on the rotor disk. There's mainly two rotators to focus on

    @Skykid028 I suppose I'll have to dissect that when I get the chance.

    @Skykid028 Okay but like how. Some FT property on the rotor itself? Separate rotors each connected to a rotator?

    @Graingy it's actually quite easy. Just takes trial and error
