The camera frame rate could cause the rotors to look odd. In one viral example, the frame rate caused another helicopter's main rotor to appear stationary while airborne
Hi. I'm working on a Helo Simulator and have been analyzing take-offs in detail to get a better understanding of exactly what happens. I see right at lift-off you pitch up slightly, and then roll left a bit, so that the last part of the gear to lose contact with the ground is the left rear corner. Is this because your CG is behind, and to the left of the rotor mast? Also, after lifting off, you yawed to the left a bit, and drifted rearward. Was this intentional, or just the random drift that occurs until you find the neutral points for pedals and cyclic for a stable hover. Thanks.
The roll to the left is to counter "translating tendency" which is caused by the tail rotor pushing the helicopter to the right as it it is trying to turn it to the left - it imparts a counterclockwise torque to the chassis by pushing the tail to the right causing the whole chassis to move to the right - you will see this on ALL helicopters that have a CCW rotating main rotor - its the opposite side for a CW rotating main rotor (mainly european french helicopters). The fact that he pitches up may be due to a canted main rotor, alot of helicopters have a slightly forward canted rotor - im not sure why i think its to make the cabin be a bit less pitched down and more level in forward flight... But that means you have to pitch back at takeoff to not pitch forward and accellerate with the helicopter.

My favourite helicopter ❤Thx !
Nice sounding startup and helicopter.
Why, at 2:07, do the blades appear to reverse direction? Why does this happen with cameras recording rotary things?

The basis of the Maverick helicopter from gta 5
good battery.
