THICC BOI but nice design

Neat

well yeah kinda. It's about as close to how a real one would operate as i can get. I have better designs though if you were planning on using a more realistic swashplate for one of your aircraft.@Swiftsure

And we're supposed to put this on the top of a chopper

thnx man, Already did it. Check out my other work, i kept experimenting with the phase angle. Sadly they are not that stable, there is just to much engineering and flight control coupling that go into these things to accurately imitate in the game. Always appreciate someone who like helicopters though.@Eagle0110

Really impressive! Finally we can see a real helicopter here!
Except, you did not count the effect of gyroscopic procession, the pitch input is 90 degree twisted. I'd recommend to exchange the pitch axis and the roll axis and then this piece of art will become perfect!
And impressive idea to use VTOL thrusters to drive the rotor!

hey man i took your advice on the extra engines and started messing with the 45 degree swashplate. pitch is still iffy but i got roll down by decreasing the speed of one set of roll rotators and increasing the other. didn't work for pitch. i uploaded unlisted until i can get it smoothd out all the way. this is the download code E74jhn @bostonhoonigan

=)@goboygo1

upvoting for the sheer amount of work it must have taken.

(O_O)

I would say the 90 degree is more along the lines of a real life of how it works consider experimenting with main rotor speed by adding more vtol engines I'll give it a shot a see how it turns out on my end and defiantly try reaction speeds and anti tq adjustments on my end @helicopter

@bostonhoonigan yeah I'm playing around with it trying to find the best results, still trying to find the right anti tq on the tail and proper reaction speeds....i actually keep bouncing back to my 45 degree swashplate, sometimes i cant tell which one is better. Mind giving them a look and giving me your opinion? set the reaction to 20 on the rotators if you want but i tend to overwork the controls.

Great work on the newer 90 degree phase is a lot better maybe make it a bit more reactive to control inputs ?

@bostonhoonigan thanks for the advice, i watch his videos frequently but ill check it out again to see if there is any new information. check out my 90 degree swashplate that might have already solved that problem. I explained it differently but a gyroscopic effect sounds better than the way i explained it.

@JoshuaW thats the very same swashplate i just put extra blades on mine and took of the counter tq rotor head. I did like all of you work though and I'm gunna check it all out.

Something that might help with stability is taking in account for gyroscopic procession if you're not 100% sure on with that is there's a video on YouTube called they're gyroscopes by smarter every day , in the video in the series he talks about the fact that this has all the helicopter and how the swashplate compensate for that still great use of this program can't wait to see what else you come up with

A little bit too complicated, what about check out mine.

Cool

@icecoldlava hahaha yeah, it's gonna get better. Check out Chawankorn's swashplate, It is completely based on his design.

laughs
tries it

Well, its not stupid if it works, i guess

@ArgentumFen hahaha yeah just a little. I'll try but I'm not quite happy with it yet, it is gonna get bigger before it gets smaller.

@chawankorn ,thank you. It was all based on yours. I'm going to add another set of rotators to the next swashplate. Surprisingly you actually need a phase angle to get the right inputs.

@Helicopter A ”little” bit complicated

but good job. try to miniaturise

That thing is fun to fly

Wow! GOOD!!!
