It has to do with the Coriolis effect and the absence of flap hinges.
Here's two links not overloaded with techno babble. http://www.cfidarren.com/hlesson4.htm http://www.pilotoutlook.com/helicopt...gular_momentum) Hear is a link regarding ground effect: http://www.heli-chair.com/aerodynamics_102.html nightstalker, you got it in one there is no flap hinge on RC two blade heads. |

This could not be more clear than as demonstrated in this thread- where we have a person who claims to be a 47 mechanic- who understands nothing about rotor dynamics. He cannot grasp the most basic blade motions (flap/lag in a teetering, constrained teeter, or hybrid-rigid head), much less complex things like harmonics, twist from aero pitching moments/aeroelasticity and centrifugal restoring force, of couples like Delta3 and Alpha1, etc. He cant even understand why one needs to strap down a constrained-teeter-head-based machine to demonstrate cyclic-induced flap. Here is a thought: it is easier to see this when the machine is not accelerating in pitch/roll at 300deg/sec^2. And, it is safer to strap the machine down- because despite what you guys think about teetering heads etc, our machines don’t do what you think- and adding significant cyclic (at 0 collective) to a spun-up machine WILL causes a tip strike- and probably significant damage to the machine and to anyone close by. Not so hard to understand is it? The two of you have stated as fact more nonsense in the couple of recent threads in question than I have seen in total in a year here- and that is saying something. Just a point of reference: Quote:

If you have ever actually worked on any full-sized machinery of whatever kind. you would realise there is a difference between the theoretical and the actual. Have you ever see that TV prog Big Bang Theory Watch Sheldon may be you'll recognise something. You really need a sense of humour and a great deal of tolerance. Rather than being so caustic and condescending consider moderating your responses. |

I also know from first hand experience, a crew chief in the army does repairs and replaces components....they remove a rotor head and replace it with a new one....they don't get into failure and fatigue analysis, or even tear a main assembly (head, trans, gearboxes, etc) down to its core. I am not pulling this out of thin air either....I have been a crew chief, back shops, and a TI in a flight unit, as well a avim/depot shop.

This is an open forum for apparently people who build and or fly mostly small model helicopters. Usually all the components are readily available, so no one really needs to design and manufacture them. The only thing we need to do is the mechanical construction and the setting up and fly them. That which appertains to full sized helicopters theory or mechanical is really only academic. |

And where are the moderators on this one?
To go from wherever this thread started, to discrediting a military veteran's service is outright disrespectful. Shame on you. Shame on you. Over a stupid helicopter. What are you guys really after?

you guys see that first vid? see how the blade lags and then at one stage returns to where the blade is while at rest? As your motor torques the rotor assembly the grips will actually lead and the blade tips lag, this is the torque from the motor transmitted thru the blades which are being pushed back by drag. The blades are swung backward, similar to a fixed arm dragging a tethered ball, the arm will lead.
There's a scale heli chassis I saw in a local hs which had the two bolt per blade grips same as the real thing, if I'm not mistaken I think it was a Bergen electric creation and had four blades. If I can dig up the pic I'll have to post it so you can see. Ground resonance? Take any length of a solid and vibrate it, it will oscillate badly in certain frequencies and self destruct in some, chimes work like that. Rotate a ribbon aka blade set and the air passing will react causing the blades to create turbulence and then oscillate same as the straps holding something down on a vehicle traveling down the highway. Your dampers are there to act as shock absorbers and to also take up the torsion acted on the blades while the head is spooled. Your also dealing with phase lag effects with dampers and a hinged blade. I think the single bolt is the least expensive way to supply a product that can be folded. If your interested in locking your blades I suppose you could put a small pin or smaller bolt through the root and grip OUTSIDE of the main bolt, toward the tip, while also tightening them down AFTER spooling the heli once to straighten them. I think the pin could be a decent safety aspect also. There's probably another way to fix the blades in the clamps tightly without modding them with holes. Get those Align spacers before you tighten down hard though, plastic grips will crack. There's something in this quite worthy of note. Id like to see the first vid dude run a few different blades, dampers, and tightness of blade bolts. |

That wasn't offensive? Riiiiight......as a former service member, and a Night Stalker, i can most definitely tell you your attitude is not reflective of 95% of 160th. Respect is a two way street.....when you talk the way you have in this thread, don't expect someone to not call you out on it. Either way, you are right, this thread is off course and I won't continue to derail it.

In general....on model helicopters, lead/lag (blade movement within the blade holders) is needed to permit the CG of the blades on your model helicopter to maintain alinement across the central axil point of rotation.
If the span-wise CG does not match the chord-wise CG exactly on each of the blades, then they will not swing into alinement. If for whatever reason there is dissymmetry of CG locations vibrations will ensue. |

How, exactly, does a span-wise CG "match" a chord-wise CG?

Find the span wise CG point mark a pencil line at right angles across the blade from LE to TE.
Suspend the blade vertically by the root securing hole on a spindle equal to the diameter of the blade holder screw clearance fit. In front of that a straight-edge or thin rod, and mark the corde-wise mark. Then compare the intersection on both blades. They ought to match precisely. Yayan |

That is for static balance. It has nothing to do with periodic lead/lag.
Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t balance your blades. Does mean that lead/lag hinges are not in place to permit the blades to find some alignment you believe exists. Quite the opposite- if you want to force the blades’ chordwise CG into 180deg opposition as regards azimuth, you remove the lag hinge- and prevent lead/lag to begin with..

Yeah...right...
In the real world static balance has a direct correspondence to dynamic balance. Carbon fibre blades little or no flexing so azimuth of little or no consequence, beside the cgs would still aline across the central axil point. That why very small helis have very loose fitting blades in the blade holders. Try this link, it has to do with full sized helis but makes the point: http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/510...rdwise-cg.html Last edited by yayan; 09-03-2014 at 07:36 AM.. Reason: spelling error |

So what you're are really talking about is determining the 2-dimensional CG point of each blade, and making sure they match eachother. The way you worded that originally, it sounded like you were suggesting the chordwise CG has some "match" for spanwise CG, which doesn't make a lot of sense as these two lines are (nearly) perpendicular. they have no match. They just have an intersection point. Meh... I've never paid any attention to chordwise CG. Never measured it in my life. Yet have extremely low vibration levels, and no problem taking video from a helicotper. IMO, there are other sources of vibration in the airframe much stronger than chordwise CG.

Anybody notice how Align now includes a hard plastic insert in the head that is double-coned. It restrains the center of the feathering shaft, just like a hinge, so that lift forces do not compress the dampers. This allows the dampers to perform their job of allowing, yet restraining, blade flap and lead/lag.

As for your quoted post, can you please refrain from using your military service as some sort of trump card to hit people with now that you've made an ass out of yourself on an online forum? That's really disrespectful to those who quietly served and continue to serve. From one vet to another. |
