I understand. My concern is my eyes in my case as product is corrosive.. Protection is recommended anyway. I'm wearing nitrile gloves, hermetic googles (to vent time to time once fog starts to develop) and working in ventilated room. I also avoid watching closely the parts without protection when...

UHU Plus Endfest 300 here. I like its properties and goes where I want with setting the position of the assembly (gravity). I also use it as filler and sand it after 24h. Ex. misplaced hole: fill it and drill again. Sits very well in deep areas and air bubbles are evacuated on the top (very...

In addition to the programming logic, I use: 1. Labels 2. Colors (shrink tube, I don't like the usual caps as too thick for me) 3. My innovant mechanical protection, same idea as real aicrafts switch covers, so I don't shutdown the turbine inadvertently. The 2nd switch with home made arm tells the...

Ok doing now. Again, these are just suggestions, take it as check-list 😊

Thanks, all good re yours comments. I also tried to open same image but no success, possibly web site issue with its size. Maybe Mike will pass by and the check the same. Otherwise I can post the images individually, just let me know if interested.

Thanks for sharing ! Find few ideas of things to check, mainly for reliability purpose. Possibly also of interest for others passing by. Great job by the way!

Yes, topside connection is key to avoid fiddly oscillations. Without using a camera, one can only see tail movements without noticing that's coming from the head. I also use a camera inside the cockpit to monitor vibrations and eventual degradation over time of the components, like real airliners...

Never seen indeed, either build reports or Vario wiki (I won the 2nd prize in 2023 contest with Bell 212 1:7 build report). Usage of video projector looks to be generally "undocumented" or not used often, while makes so sense to use it for best scale results, like a laser. Maybe I miss something,...

Using the video projector is brilliant, never seen this!

Given the size of such heli, the manufacturer of your rotor head could propose a "lifting eye" part, which is temporary installed for lifting operation (screwed in for AS350).

Thanks for sharing. Interesting re more prone to resonance when using more than two blades. Must admit that's counter-intuitive to take off asap when resonance starts to happen. The "ground resonance" incident in MacGyver occurs in the episode "Deathlock" (Season 1, Episode 12), where a helicopter...

Hats off, Patrick. Wonder if same device could have a variant dedicated to non-air vehicule, like a tank with dedicated effect. Well done!

I use the pitch curve as last optimization step and tuning for 2 main things - max 3-4 points: - flaten the curve on the hover zone to create some cushion - temporary compensate hot weather/lack of density by increasing the pitch on the mid upper range (I do on 2nd flight, difference is impressive)...
