Graviman,
Thanx. I'm always humble enough to ask for help since I'm an "uncertified basement engineer". Second "power up" this week-end, that is if the new blades make it here
.
I chose a CF blade w/ a wider chord and it has about an inch more span than the other airfoils. Soon I will post short video clips on my site and I am certain that I will be directing you guys to view them and asking all of you questions about certain actions or moments that may develop. I can spot rotor blades when they need tracking, but you folks can look at the attitude of the airframe and spinning rotor system if you see a video clip and tell what may be causing it. I'm curious about the "what ifs" in the mechanical design of helicopters. If the results of published data state that a rotorcraft should not fly unless "X, "Y" & " Z are in order and I make a small scale prototype fly using "X", "Z" and eliminating or substituting "Y" by some other means......it is up to certified engineers to figure out why. I just wanted to see what would happen. I want to step outside the normal approach to see if it works. I also understand that there is a big difference when it comes to scaling up to full size. More to follow. Have a good week-end.
Dave
