tandem vid clip.AVI

two century hawk sprts linked together to make my tandem rotor testbed for an upcoming chinook iwill be building using a vario fuselage. since the fuselage doesnt come with mechanics it is up to the builder to make his own. thisis my first tandem so i needed to get things together with a low cost setup. the helitronix mixer is used to set up the flight controls for both rotor systems. the hawk mecha have been converted to 90 degree ccpm and a londer boom and torque tube were required

thanks man, yep thats toth!

the controls are just the same as a conventional heli at the radio. opposite sideways tilt on the swaqshplates result in yaw to the left or right

looks like Toth Stage Field to me. Very nice setup, you definately have it going on.

Well done as usual copterdoctor. You may have to put a longer shaft on the rear, As the rear rotor in the full scale one sits higher then the front one, if memory serves me correctly.

That's awesome, how do you yaw with that setup?
