  • i like the overall design. the simple tri leg landing gear and i like the rigged rotor system with the constant pitch. One thing though, i didn't see any see saw hinge on the rotor head which keeps the rotors from tipping the craft over on the side when on the ground or in hover. Now was this omitted since the co-axial design allows for such a design or am i over looking something? Also, if you need plans for a tail RUDDER, not rotor, i can send you some, i have some from heli-plans.

  • @th3boy75 ...What makes you think it will tip over?

  • sorry if there was confusion, but i was talking about the see saw hinge, which allows the forces which would otherwise result in severe imbalances during horizontal flight to equalize themselves. Not while in hover or on the ground as previously stated but this could still apply. sorry if thats alittle wordy... Also, whats the hp on that engine? and make and model please.

  • @th3boy75 The engine is a Kawasaki

    440 cc jet ski with some mods. Not sure of the hp. I had the engine and it seemed like a good place to start.

  • Is this guy dead yet ?

  • I don't see how you are going to have rotational control.

  • I love the build! opposing rotation of the blades, and the swosh plate and power transfer to the head, amazing! as well are your other videos!

    Not really possible in the state it is now, but to add blade pitch control would be somewhat helpful although not needed.

    But to be able to control the rotation speeds of the blades independent of each other will allow you to rotate one way or the other during flight.

  • AndriaLea, can you pleeezzzee force your dad to put the other blades on?

  • good good, that seems to be a staple engine in ultralight aviation. Now im not that sure how a jet ski engine runs but what were the mods?
