    Nice job! I'm a flight engineer on Sikorsky S70 helicopters, keep in mind that theory of flight for rotating blade aircrafts has a lot of detail and tricks you have to overcome in order to make this project and see it airborne! I'm sure it will be a total success my friend!

      Im a system test engineer with 12 years in aerospace and what I learned is that flight dynamics are junk science . Get your L/D and balance correct and just start flying and gain tuning . No simulation had accurately modeled the the details shown in rotor dynamics .

      @Willy_Tepes Před 4 měsíci

      No need to fear flying contraptions. You can actually design model aircraft by gut feeling and estimation. You can get almost anything airborne if you use common sense. The fun is making it efficient.
      Flight dynamics is only important when you are pushing the limits of weight and strength of your material while having room for a safety margin. As there is no pilot onboard this thing and there is not millions of dollars invested in the test aircraft, you have the ability to try, fail and learn. @@dsanti4069

    It's great that you are still making videos! For me this is as enjoyable as your more polished videos. I understand that you have limited time, so it definitely would be great, if you would make more videos like this rather than none at all. What comes to the project, it is interesting to see if the resin prints have enough strength to fly. I myself have stayed away from resin printing due to the mechanichal weakness of resin printed parts, although they have great resolution.

    Don't forget about gyroscopic precession when you're programming the flight controls. If you want the helicopter to fly forward, the main rotor disk needs to tilt left or right, not forward. Left or right depends on clockwise vs counter clockwise rotation. 👍

    Such an awesome explanation video! Even though I've seen the angle stuff both in real life and on RCs and all that, I never knew it worked like this. I always thought you tilted the helicopter forward to go forward. Of course, there are probably helicopters that you have to do that also, I don't know.. but you explained perfectly how this type of design works! Thank you! ❤
    All your videos are so amazing, you always have something new and cool to watch, I can't imagine how much work that must be for you. Awesome work! For me, I sometimes have to visit your channel to find your videos, I don't always get them in the feed. I have the bell and full notifications on, but that happens to some channels, I don't know why and it is really sad because I only subscribe to channels I love. I hope it gets fixed soon for you!

    you missed one thing about the rotor cyclic control... the moment is applied at 90 degree (+-~5 degrees) from your maximum angle of attack position... so if you want to go forward your maximum angle of attack should be on the right (assuming clockwise rotation)... this because of the rotor dynamic response (lagged response): you rotor response at 90 degrees after you apply max pitch... so your body pitch and roll will be switched...

    An interesting video and project. I look forward to seeing this project some more in the future.
    I did have a thought. Before the algorithm changed when you used to get more views, were those greater number of views from subscribers? I'm subscribed to a lot of CZcams channels so that I can see what content they put out. But the only channels I watch without fail are your videos, GreatScott, Mark Rober, and Jlaser. The rest I only watch the videos that interest me. So perhaps it could be something similar here. That still doesn't change the fact that CZcams apparently changed the recommendation part of its algorithm.
    In any case, I completely understand having to take a step back and post less. We all get burnt out. It's amazing you find the time with a newborn. As I said in your other post, I've got a 7-week old myself. Just finding the time to get anything done is a struggle.

Free for makers (I don't think that applies to you but at least you could try it) I don't know how you're doing this in blender but you could do it LITERALLY 10 times faster. not to mention iterating would be quicker because you can just set a parameter i.e.… .4 mm not enough clearance, change all/or certain features to .6.
      Ultimately, whatever works for you is best… Just a friendly piece of advice !

    Hi. Nice job so far. But if i can give u 2 tips, mini servos is strong enough for those size blades. Not to sure if the ones u showed is that size. And tip nr2. Your blades grips. It would be better to have 2 normal bearing about 7 or 8mm appart and then a thrust bearing. This wil prevent stability and blade tracking issues. But anyways. Cant wait to see the first flight. Good luck.
