[MOC][PoC] Coaxial Rotors with variable pitch

[BrickbyBrickTechnic]

 

 

 

Hey, everyone,

À couple years ago @Sheepo built his amazing Kamov KA-32 helicopter, whose highlight (IMO) was that the rotors were coaxial and with variable pitch. While here I didn’t want to replicate the other mechanical intricacies of what Sheepo made, I wanted to build coaxial rotors with variable pitch, as à simple interpretable mechanism. So here’s what I came up with:

I actually made this video in July (not deviating from my TC12 entry for now ) but wanted to share it while I was in the process of building big, long MOCs as à sort of side thing. I want to start making more proof of concept models, but haven’t really gotten the time to, so I’m kinda proud of this one!

If you have à comment, would love to hear. Thanks and have à nice day!

Lego would not use that, because of friction on the axle from many locations. It would slow down, and burn up the clutch gear.

Sheepo's chopper was amazing for sure!!
