Will do one once I get my advanced heli tutorial done. Meanwhile I highly suggest joining the flyout discord and asking for help in the help channels. You can ping me there.
@@Finnwolf88 thanks, I'm already in the discord, but I think that it's not the proper place to ask for the entire engine and propeller fields, at it would take a lot of time, space and it would still be non-optimal to explain something. Also I'm looking forward to watch the next videos
Any tips for piston powered helicopters? Getting anywhere near 600 rpm is almost impossible. I am trying to recreate a Sikorsky H-19 :) Loved the video btw!
Same rules apply for pistons too. They just need to be lighter and you want 500-600rpm on the rotor but have to accept that rotor rpm will drop with increased collective. One thing to help with the reduced power (works with all helis) is to lift off the ground a few meters and do a plane like takeoff following the runway. You gain speed and therefore more air for the blades, gaining autorotation and reducing the power need. More speed means less power needed. Main point would be to value torque over power with the engine and avoid doing fast movements where the blades get a sudden increase of airflow so you wont stall the engine. I have a few piston powered helis done. Could do a timelapse of making one and quickly explain the differences.
Yeah, thing is with my heli is that I cannot get the blades over 100 - 120 rpm. I might just convert it into a turboshaft variant, even though it is not accurate. It would be great to see a timelapse :)
i have no clue what kind of whitchcraft you use but i need some, no matter the rpm, no matter have stripped down i make it ie only the pilot rotors, gearbox and turbine the bloody thing just wont take of the pitch and everything works great but it just wont get off the ground
Dumb question but are you using 3 and 4 keys to apply collective to the main rotor? You can also ping me in the help channels on flyout discord channel.
@@Finnwolf88 yeah... i did that... turned out after almost 4 or 5 hours of trying i had forgotten to in the collective also add the collective response so i alterd the values but nothing happened... great video tough we could definitely use more tutorial creators
I turned it into a synchropter
thanks so much for this very helpful tutorial bro
can you do a tutorial on piston engines? i tried making a plane using one but my propellers give nearly no thrust

Why is my heli vibrating and self destructing anytime I go above 50% throttle
This would be amazing to know aswell, hope the dude knows😭

@@Niskan40 if you are over at flyout discord, you can ping me there and I can help check out whats going on with your design

@@wilfred8391 i am in the process of making an advanced helicopter tutorial. Should be done within a week
@@Finnwolf88any updates?
why tf are my rotors just turning foward???? like dawg even stock rotors don't work because they just turn front or smythin lol i forgor
because either gearbox isn't connected to engine or rotors aren't connected to gearboxes or both reasons.
