Below,are the two reduction plastic gear i used. They were gotten from a big toy car truck....

now I'm dead confused, how long did it take you to assemble all that.

Preboy: now I'm dead confused, how long did it take you to assemble all that.

Three months and some few weeks.

Here is my 2.4ghz transmitter. The only modification made,was changing the packaging,and replacing the joystich with a playstation controller joystick. This was done so that each joystick could control both x and y axis.
I will soon be dropping this transmitter,as soon as Sidajili's Full range DSM 2.4GHZ Tx/RX arives.

K.

would u give the the transmitter as u won't be needing it anymore

Preboy: would u give the the transmitter as u won't be needing it anymore

Yea

Here's is the Receiver(Rx)

Also.... A li-ion battery i got from a Dell laptop. I seriesed and parallel 4 out of the 6 pieces it had,to get this.......

But am also looking forward to replace it with a lipolymer. As soon as Sidajili sends me his lipolymer as promised.

Below is the Pwm amplifier circuit i built. It amplifies the little pwm signal from the Rx. So it can drive the motor without burning out.
Notice the two mosfets. The lower mosfet mounted on a heatsink drives the main motor. While the mosfet without heatsink drives the tail rotor motor. This is so,as it has nothing to worry about,in terms of current.

This circuit will also be waved aside,as soon as Sidajili sends me the ESC he promised. Because there wont be any use for them. They've served there purpose. But they did prove to be working well and could stand more abuse.
The pix belo was a test run i did with the circuit,powering the tail rotor. It performed well,without much signs of localized heating

The tail rotor...



The tail rotor consists of two props,rotating in opposite directions,powered by two powerful micro motors.
Below is a pix before i spun it up.....
Note: it is clamped and is disconnected from the helicopter.

I am confident enough to believe this tail rotor would be strong enough to produce the force required to counter the torque,and as well have more headroom for steering (yaw). .
This tail rotor assembly is so strong that it can lift up the whole assembly,if left unclamped. This is illustrated in the picture below. Notice the rotor arcing,making an angle to the horizontal plane,even when clamped....

MODIFICATION UPDATES.

Finally,work is now complet on the heli.
Some few weeks ago,the heli was taken to pieces. This was based on Sidajili's advice. All parts containing aluminium was changed and replaced with Styrofoam and fiberglass,where necessary.
Although this wasn't easy,but it had to be done.

When building this kind of project never overlook the tendency of injuries. They often occur.........

For those who might want to build a custom built swashplate. Note the three ball bearings in contact with the groove on the white plastic. It is there to serve as the bearing. Don't let there contact press too hard and create an unreasonable friction. Neither should you let them press too feebly against the grooves: they'll simply fall off..
That's just the best i can come up with for now,and without a CNC ....

Oops. Here's the heli withs its old Tx.Humbly ,but sadly waiting for Sidajili's Dsm Tx/Rx to arrive....

Here's the gearing section. It lies below the main shaft and motor.
The potruded object on the left gear is a one waybearing i built. It permits the rotor to spin freely when spining in the wrong direction. This makes autorotation possible. Although this is impossible with my fixed pitch design. The primary reason why i decided to build this part was because,it saves my gear when i close the throttle stick too quickly. I was aware of the burning fact that if i don't use this autorotation wheel,my motor would serve as a brake when i close the gas.

Parkingzzz how do we contact you?

Am in Abia state. Perhaps through my email Kingsleyobinna26@yahoo.com

Here's a close up shot,showing the battery pack and camera below...

Humbly waiting inspection....

Close-up shot of the tail rotor.....

Note!!!!....... The tail rotor isn't horizontal as one may think. It has some properties in the 'Z' Axis.
As a matter of importance. It is tilted to an angle of is an 75 degrees and not 90 degrees,as it may seem to appear.

Standing with her Transmitter.....

The heli is tail heavy. Notethe battery sitting on the nose to counter it this weight..).
