Could use these mods?
I was wondering if anyone wants to have these rotor blade mods on the MCX??
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2510145 I made the design after studying the latest innovations in Micro FP research sponsored by the US Gov for use in next generation micro drones. I also put some of my ideas in it. It's NOT for sale, but I could make this into a DIY page. I did this on a Silverlit Sky Huma (because it's the only heli I have that is flying). But my modded Silverlit has very similar size, weight, and flybar offset angle as the MCX. What it does is it will make your heli reach much higher lateral speeds (forward, backward, sideways) and have good stability at any speed so you can reduce flybar weight even more. It will also make your heli stay up in the air a little longer and reduced blade noise. While remaining stable as any coax ever could.... The new blades will be more sensitive to CoG changes or any not perfectly centering servos and will drift more in any of those cases. It will behave more like a single rotor but without the tail-drift and if the servos and CoG are perfect, a 3 year old can still fly it if they can handle the throttle well... The experimental blades are printed and made out of paper. Anything from plain A4 80 GSM to 160 GSM A4 can be used (Between 120 and 160 GSM gives best results). The lighter weight rotors and paper construction will significantly improve throttle response and considerably reduce collateral damage in blade strikes. The lighter blades will also improve your chances of remaining in the air and continue flying unaffected after a blade strike and also due to the superior stability of the design. |
