True cyclic 4 directions and mixed, no collective
Keep your eye on the swash plate and the prop tips
Note that the rotor shaft stays vertical and the rotor stays horizontal but the blades change pitch on every rotation
Also note that you did in fact know what would happen when I took off

I didn't know what would happen, as I actually expected you to not take off at all XD
But exactly what did happen when you took off? I mean, I'm used to the wavy thing where it goes out of control, but did it also crash some parts into some other parts?

This took me a long time to figure out what was going on. Quite an intimidating number of moving parts.
It's kind of funny how only recently did I learn that my helicopters needed this device. Now... how to shrink it?

Wow thats some nice engineering. You were right though, I could tell what was going to happen when you took off. The problem it with the wobbling blades making the whole thing wobble. Also its top heavy so thats always a tough one to get by with helicopters. Maybe try making it bottom heavy and reducing wobble somehow?

Wow. Very impressive! Don't even care that it doesn't fly, it's just nice to look at at low speeds. Can we get the bsg?  |

Wow. Very impressive! Don't even care that it doesn't fly, it's just nice to look at at low speeds. Can we get the bsg? Sorry, forgot. This was done as a puzzle just to see if I could. I had a few self imposed rules that may have made it harder than it needed to be. No Butterfly effect allowed. You can add prop blades on each side of the single tip blades and get enough power to lift off without the mess of lifting blades below decks but it will tear the rotor apart. Had a hard enough time bracing for one blade on each tip. If you put the extra blades on or loosen the rotor horizontal strengthening you will let loose the Butterfly and you will not be able to control it's rage. Here is a fun to fly version with a swash plate and just one degree of control, it's good example of what I am trying to explain: besiege.freeforums.net/thread/1091/single-cyclic-control-mystical-butterflyHere is an interesting related read: www.sikorskyarchives.com/S-46%20_VS-300_%20VS-300A.phpNote all the times Sikorsky switched between various combinations of cyclic and outrigger or tail rotors.

It takes off @ 1:55, you just need to be patient By "fly" I don't think he means "gets airborne" It will actually fly for quite a while if you turn on invincible and get good at anticipating correcting all your inputs. Luck and lots of tries really. |
