Quint-Rotor tail rotor experimental

320 TheBugMonster  8.3 years ago

Its almost exactly the same as my original Quint Rotor, but with a tail rotor experiment i tried, now since simple planes doesnt like having rotors facing different angles the COM and COT dont show up right, took some work to get it balanced in flight. The whole goal was to test out the tail rotor and it works the way its sposed to, but only at 60-80% throttle. At 100% you lose all pitch control. Note: Violent landings can destroy the rotors,
