| pitchup/ballooningBasmntdweller, the light thin quick ksj paddles will absolutely add to your pitch up problems by way of its reduction in the total mass of the flying disc and thereby a porportional reduction in the ratio of mass between the flying disc and the main disc. The second reason is because the lower mass flying disc now has a thinner and sharper edge on its paddles leading edge. The lighter disc now, is much quicker to cut into another plane thereby making any slop in the swashplate produce bouncing and occillating between the extreems of the limits of the slop and play during a change in the flying disc's plane of reference. You do not have direct control of the main disc, nor do you want to because of the isolation and smooth control is that which is afforded you by way of the bell/hiller mixing. The flybar is more or less directly controlled 90 degrees ahead of the intended direction and lends absorbtion of the considerable gyroscopic resistance to change by the main disc and reduces the forces necessary to effect, maintain and cease any change in the inertia of the main disc. Sorry to get techy on you, but this is important for your clear vision of the inertial and gyscopic concepts involved. Imagine spinning a steel ball on the flat kitchen table clockwise, during which you take the tip of a toothbrush and take a single try at pushing it straight ahead and away from you. You will note that it responds 90 degrees late and in the clockwise direction of rotation. That is why the flybar is 90 degrees ahead of the mainblades and no mutiblade rotorhead has a flybar! Hope this helps guy. b |
