Just had a bad crash while having fun with my home made helicopter.

WHAT IS LIFE FOR
You are alive, yes, but what is the significance? For what purpose? And for how long will you be?
What have you to think about this life?
My gone people, where have they gone to?
Who perswaded them to go? Or did they decide themselves to go?
What are they doinging there?
Why have'nt any of them come back?
Does it mean they dont want to come? or something is preventing them.
After all the hard work on earth, why would they still have to go without them?
Does it mean they no longer care for their wealth and loved ones?
Are they happy or sad where they are?
Are they wishing to come back to life?
Do they have a different family, friends and work there?
Why is it that everybody must go there?
Who is responsible for this inevitable transformation?
What is my gain here?
Why am I here?
Who brought me here?
For what purpose has He brought me here?
Why is here so stressful and hear breaking?
Is he the one that will permite my inevitale transformation?
When will this trasformation be?
Who decides it?
Who takes my wealth when I go?
What am I ?
Do He know me personally?
Is there something He is expecting from me?
Am I giving that to Him?
Is He happy with me?
What will be my fate if He permites my tranfomation now?
He must be the one that has given me life to live.
To me He is not man He is God, because not even one man has given a life.
Since He is a God, he must deserve to be worshiped and praised.
That must be why am here.
I will call him The Supreme God because has no comparism.
You can call you God anything based on how you see him in your life.
I will worship and praise Him alone now and forever.
I see him as "The supreme God of Mercy"
Who do you see him as, type it down now.....lets Go....

JESUS WASHED THE FEET OF HIS DISCIPLES
Can you imagine what Jesus is teaching.
He is God in heaven, on earth and beneath the earth and everywhere.
He created everything but nothing created him, all creatures are humbled before his presence.
His been alive and the same since the ever beginning, everything has beginning and end but He has no beginning and no end.
The same yesterday, today and forever.
Who can ever imaging how glorious He is, your brain can even try to think of it....
He came down to the earth in human form to save me and you from the iniquity of our disobedience.
Now see God washing the feet of human that He has created.
Who is that president that can wash the feet of a citizen just to teach them loyalty..... I have not found.
If God as great and glorious as he is can wash your feet, the man He created, then who are you that will not be loyal.
He created you and made you as beautiful as you are....He took time to make you look like him....He shaped and reshaped you.....
Remember all other creatures were created with out spoken word but you were not.
He said "come let us make man in our own image" but other creatures were just by " let there be"
He moulded you very well and fine, you were still lying there lifeless, your hand could break off when only touched, your head could fell off when only touched, you could not do anything.....then He came close to you an breathed into your nose strills and life came into you, the life you have is his own.
Now you opened your eyes to see the beautiful world he has created for you.
Now you have mouth to say anything you want to say " who is God self" " you have sense to prove "God don't exist"
You have hands that can move to beat a pastor, you have legs that can move to anywhere you want, you have heart that can think our evil.
Now you have a moving head that can bow down to other creatures that where created by out spoken words or even human that was created just like you.
I know you will kill your own Dog if it bites you severely, but you did not take time to created the dog but just bought it.
Why are you not dead by now, don't you think He is very very kind.
Why don't you look like any of the animals you can see, why don't you think like animals...God has made you the way you are.
This is the best time to acknowledge him your life......it is the best time to turn to him, no matter how your sin is he is so kind and lovely that He will accept you again.
He loves you so much.
You can type...."God am yours"

The new day has come.
The light is made to shine in darkness and darkness comprehendeth it not. God is still in the business of healing people, setting the captive free, delivering bounded, opening doors, raising from grass to grace, healing all manner of sicknesses, calming down storms, promoting lives and business, making blind to see, making the cripple walk, making the dumb speak, making deaf hear, yes, even raising the dead.
He is one God in different places at same time, your problem is nothing before him......just come. The door is open for you.
Do not be deceived for God is not mocked, whatsoever man sows that shall he reap.
False prophets full everywhere looking like sheep but devouring lions, be calm like dove, meal like a lamb but wise like a serpent.
They shall come to you in different forms but do not believe them, by their fruits you shall know them.
The door of grace is calling you. seek Gods kingdom first and every other things shall be added on to you. This life is meaningless without God....Accept him and enjoy a different phase of life here on earth and I'm eternal life......Nice to meet you.

OpenYourEyes1:
How much did building this cost you?

What is the percentage of local materials compared to the foreign materials for building it ?

Can you scale it up to piloted helicopter if you have access to the required funds?

Am a student, I don't have financial capabilities to buy those electronic components.....I will continue building and flying no matter how hard it seems to be to people, to me it is fun, it makes me happy, it gives relief when anything that is existing in my imarginary world comes to stay in reality....thank you for your advice I highly appreciate...

FOR THE SPEED CONTROL
I tried using radio volume controller, but they burn out easily.....I tried many but they all were doing the same thing.
2nd THOUGHT
I thought about using resistors, yes it should work out. I thought about how to make it fly at different speeds with respect to the resistors. I had to find resistors of same colour and size, I believe they should be of same resistance. Then I connected them in series with a wire from one end of the resistors to my motor, at points of joining one resistor to the other. I extended a wire to a zinc plate where a wire can be taped.
Now the other wire from my motor will now be used to tap at different plates.This means that when the wire is taped on the first plate, the helicopter flies with no resistance, second plate produces first resistance, third produces the resistance of first and second resistors combine because they are in series and so on. I used four resistors with five zinc plate in my own.
It worked but the resistors get heated and stop when the helicopter has flew above 30minutes.
3rd THOUGHT
In my third thought, instead of using resistors, I used batteries and connected them in the same way. I did this because I could not understand why the resistors are getting heated. Now when 1.5v batteries are connected in series to give 7.5v which is five batteries involved, six or below six number of zinc plate can be used. This worked perfectly well. Yes it is working.

COXIAL HELICOPTER

HAPPY FLYING

BUILDING MY FUSELEGE
My fuselege is just catton pepper and a blue matterial use in covering files, am sorry I do not know the name.
The catton pepper is shaped to have the shape of a heli, I first glued with water gulm and then with super glue.
My fuselege looked very urgly when buildin, then I had to find a colourd catton pepper, I used Tummy-Tummy catton to paste all over the body just for beauty.
I have built many helicopters, my target in this one was to make it look like the rc helicopter I see on google. I took time to make it look nice and good and not like an urgly home-made heli.
I just targeted that my friends will say " lol that must be a toy he bought" if anybody says that, good, but if you look very well you will find out that everything about it is scratch-built.
The material I got from file I said would perform the function of glass for me. I have always used it for glass in all my building, I guess it is working fine.
The white colour ther is just a sticker cut in that shape and pasted.
The black colour is marker colour I used my marker to colour the blades, flybar links, rotor head, stainless tube, landing skid and fuselege.

BUILDING MY LANDING SKID
My landing skid is a product of sweet stick, alluminiun rooffing sheet and glue.
the roofing sheet is cut and the sweet stick is cut to desirable length.
Each end of the cut roofing sheet is shaped to enter the hole on the sweet stick, this is then glued when put.
The cut side is then glued to the longer sweet sticks. See them below

BUILDING MY FLYBAR LINK
This I call head link or flybar link, this because of its work of linking the rotoe head to the flybar.
The method I used in building the link is very easy, but was not easy to think out. I thought about it days before I could reslve this method that works.
I used the stiff wire for link, it perfomed but was a bit heavy and somehow too strong. Now I found a wire from radio, it looks like a rheostat but I do not know what it is, you will see it below.
I used this wire to coil round a spoke just once, and also coiled from below the one coiled just a centimeter difference.
This is then cut with scissors and ramared with plier to make streight.
0.2cm difference in your too link lengths make the heli behave made, one blade will be above the other whick is excess torque.
This made me build more than 20 pairs of head links, untill I measured and built accurately.

TEST It is seen that, when the white sweet stick is held and the wire is touched at one end, the wire moves up and down freely in the sweet stich.
now the sweet stick will be glued to white plastic you saw on the shaft. This makes the sweet stick fixed to the shaft while the wire can move upp and down freely.
Now I forced my pen pipes with balls into the wire, one at one end, the other at the other end.
Now my flybar can move up and down and my rotor head is doing same, it is time to link the two....

NOW FOR THE FLYBAR
Search all rc helicopters I bet you, you may not find a fly bar like this my own. I studied the work of flybars and had to think out what will work for me and it worked. I used a writing pen inner pipe, a small ball-like material I got from motorcycle speedeometer, a stiff wire and a sweet stick.
the pen pipe is cut to desirable length to have two equal pipes.
then I added the ball to one end of each pipe.
Now I cut the sweet stick to a small length you will see the photo.
I now removed the insulator on that wire and bent it, then I put the cut sweet stick into the wire and then bent the other side.
The bent of the wire is made to be the exert length of the flybar hook, see photo

A FORM OF STOPPER is placed on the top pair of rotor head, for me I put the stopper on the rotor head that will be below still on the top pair of rotor head. This thing I call stopper has two functions one is to stop the hook on the shaft from rotating inside the rotor head, it ensures that while the the shaft rotates with the hook, the rotor head and blades move along.
And another function of providing space for my blade to move back and forth even if the rotor head is not moving. I used the system because when my blade hit against an obstacle, it simply moves back still on the rotor head and nothing will happen to it unless it is severe. Thre stoppers makes it that even thought the screws may be tightened very well, the rotor heads do not clamp the blade.
My stopper stops the rotor heads from clamping the blade and also stops the shaft hook from rotating alone in the rotor head.
the white plastic you can see below is gotten from a drip material, it fits my shaft perfectly and require a little force to fit it.
I drilled to holes horizontally on it, cut my strong wire and passed it through the holes, this is then glued to make it strong.
My flybar is coming to sit on top of this plastic.
For the lower rotor, it is simple, I just found a plstic that fitts the second shaft [radio pole] perfectly, it is always forced to fit the shaft. This plastic I got from a perfume, it got broken and I found another one from a wall clock I believe they have same diameter.

ADDING THE FLYBAR HOOK
Drilling is done carefully so it will not exceed the diameter I want. It is better be smaller than be wider, because, when it is smaller I will just continue drilling wider, but when the diameter exceeds what I want, I will simply start at fresh.

THE HOOKS HAVE BEEN ADDED, now adding flybar hook and srews.
On my blade a hole is drilled on the head of each blade. This hole is drilled so as to fit the blade to the hook on rotor head to allow back and forth movement of the blades.

CUT DRILL AND SMOOTHEN
I built rotor heads from the blue plastic I got from WAEC calculator. It was strong, light weight and can be easily shaped, but it breakes when a severe crash happens. This made me think about the circuit board, for my heli I use computer and handset circuit board because they are found to be very very light but stronger than others.

these are still impotant

HELLO! I am Nobleman, many call me Noblemaker, Noblemaster. Smart my good friend call me Noble D great. All these names make me feel I am not just trying, I have not done things I need to do, I have not been where I want to be and I have not been who I want to be. However I am still fighting to actualise my vision even the economy cannot stop me.
MY WORLD
I love everything that can fly, both natural and artifitial. Though I do not have money to import kits and build one, I am still a student but I have to build even though it is not easy, I do not have any alternative than to make something fly. Even now I fly but I am not inside my machine, I still believe I will be inside my machine flying one day.
MY HELICOPTER
Here you will see photoes on how I build helcopters from scratch, I mean from home materials. You can still do the same, if you like it.

SEARCH your youtube and see if you can see anything like that, maybe your friends can help you search. How I built my rc helicopter at home. You can do anything to verify.....
BUILDING STARTED
The above photoes show that I want to build two pairs of rotor head, for each pair one will be above the other. The pair that will hold my up blades will be different in structure from the pair that will hold my down blades. This is because my down blades are just fixed, they do not tilt but the up blade tilts with the fly bar for stability.
For the up blade that will be tilting, it is built in a way that when the two are put together, they form a lengthy hole at the middle to allow tilting.
But the down rotor head just has a circular hole that will be fixed to the shaft. You will get to understand it better as we go.

BUILDING MY ROTOR HEAD
I found out that the rotor head is nothing but a blade holder, however some possess some features that others do not have depending on the type of heli one is building. In my system many misharps made me chose the kind of rotor head that is good for my heli, I shall be talking about only the one that gave me most desirable performance
My heli crashed more than 200 times, but I would not give it up, the blades would either bend or break each time it crashed. Only one bent blade made the heli behave stupidly, untill I found ouT it was the blade. You would not believe it was the bent blade that is causing that.
Because of crashing, bending and breaking, I built more than 100 pairs of blades.
It was time for me to think out a method I would use so that even if my heli crashes my blade may still be safe.
The type of rotor head I use, I have not found anywhere in any way, it existed only in my immerginary world. Thanks it has come to reality now.
My first step in bringing my immergination to reality is always by drawing.
The rotor head I built have two other functions apart from holding my blades, it reduces the chances of blade breaking as well as providing more stability.
BUILD THE ROTOR HEAD
On the circuit board, the material for building rotor head, a drawing is made.
This drawing is then cut out just as that of the blades.
The edges are smoothened with engineering file and holes are drilled on marked points.
But the diagram looks more complex than that of the blades, but I can draw it in some minutes because I have built many.
This diagram is so beacause all the holes drilled should match their counterperts that is why the four are drawn out symutaneosly.
I surgest drawing on pepper first, to make sure you knoe how to draw the diagram then you can draw on board and cut.
