Here's my latest project. Trying to build an endurance heli. If Maynard Hill could fly 34.5 hours with his airplane "The Spirit of Butt's Farm", I figure I can fly 6 hours (the current record) with a helicopter. The project name at the moment is "The Spirit of Boone's Farm". That will likely have to change in the interest of pandering to the AMA, but I think it is a fun code name.
I designed it all around mini servos using SE style mechanics but with CCPM, and it will hold a four stroke transversely, so you can have a tank in front and back. Even if it doesn't happen, it is fun to dream. Anyway, the GIF is kind of shoddy, so bear with me. It won't have a clutch, but will have an auto hub, so it may be interesting to start. We'll see how long that lasts.
Thanks, John Cadwell |
