| Super-Hornet,
Yes, the solid white nylon links hold the end of one arm of the washout assembly stationary, but the slider still slides up and down in order to change the collective pitch. The system does function as it should. However, on its maiden flight the heli shook due to inherent resonance on spool up and down. Once in a hover it was okay. Part of the resonance could be due to the main blades being too tight. No stabilizing electronics was used. The cyclic authority was poor and expo must be experimented with. A considerable amount of time must be devoted to make this heli fly as well as one with a flybar. Thanks for your interest and your time for examining my modification. Ken |
