apemax Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Hello all. This is my latest creation a motorised helicopter and no unfortunately it doesn't fly. It has a sort of a brake but instead of "braking" it works like a gear box. It interrupts the gear train so the momentum from the blades doesn't keep the motor from turn after it gets turned off. On to the pictures: And a video of it working. And thats it. And comments or suggestions are welcome. Hope you like it. Edited November 2, 2011 by apemax Quote
Jim Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 The blades are spinning so fast, it's almost a miracle it's not lifting up Like the suspension on the landing gear, well done! Quote
allanp Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I like how the blades slow down like they do in real life. Good job Quote

It does create a noticeable draft. I like how the blades slow down like they do in real life. Good job Thanks. :) Quote
