COOL DEMO VIDEO

Introduction

RC helicopter, coolest toy ever!
This build is based on an RC helicopter I played a long time ago. Lots of memories just came back while I was building this... I hope you will also enjoy playing with it!

Features

  • Little part count, fully detailed. You can open the front cover to discover what's inside!
  • NO GYROSCOPE PART IS USED! The stability is purely enhanced by funky trees! So...
  • 3-Channel control mode by default, which is faithful to the real world version. You can also enable 4-channel mode (with Roll control).
  • Battery life is simulated by fuel level. Each flight can last about 20 minutes.
  • Yaw control is achieved by the differential rotation speed of the two rotator parts (unique isn't it?).
  • Colorful LED lights.

Instructions

AG1 Open Front Cover
AG2 Enable Roll Control (4-Channel Mode)
AG3 Change Light Program
AG8 Disable LED Light Effect

Limitations

  • The balance bar is not really functioning, it is more of a decoration. Because we cannot attach parts that rotate together with the helicopter blades.
  • Due to poor visual quality of very small scale builds, I made this helicopter roughly in 10:1 scale.
  • In the real world, an RC helicopter's lift is controlled by the motor's RPM, but this cannot be achieved in Simple Planes since it's very difficult to control the rotor RPM.

ENJOY YOUR PLAYTIME!!!

    Ваша пикча о гироскопе побудила меня наконец-то избавиться от этого противного и нереалистичного предмета. Благодарю. Но пришлось повозиться с соосной схемой

    I had an RC helicopter that need charging for 50–60 minutes, and then could fly for only 5–6 minutes before needing a recharge.
