Cyclocopter

2,605 Rowlypoly  2.5 years ago

Took awhile to figure out but it works. This “copter” uses sideways rotating wings that cycle their pitch, like helicopter blades, to create lift. All controls are normal. When you want to land make sure you are at least 500+ feet off the ground and then put the throttle to zero and pull back on the pitch. WARNING: Once the throttle is at zero, the blades will reverse their rotation causing all roll controls to be inverted. Ag 1 for gyro stabilization. I recommend always using the gyro unless you are trying to do stupid/fancy maneuvers. Still could be improved but this is experimental. Hope you enjoy. Happy flying and upvote for more.
