Free Flight, Free Speech

I guess what I mean is that even after we'd explained the design process we were going to go through. He then went over to the other forum and applied a bit of spin on it to attempt to discredit bell_pilots abilities

Looks like he went for trying to put someone down over on the other forum.

Well what did I expect

1) is a good question that I don't know the answer too in the same way as mue doesn't, we've never flown a helicopter or wiggled the cyclic when the collective is in idle. And that brings me to the collective in idle position, pitch blade of zero and thrust of zero don't occur at the same point, esp...

I'd assume we're attempting to resolve the big issues first as these have the most impact. Once this is done this particular effect of ETL can be determined and added, although I added vortex ring state as I thought it'd be fun. I assume yasim flight models and the other helicopter fdms have the ETL...

And I notice Thorsten on the other forum is trying to prevent them from reviewing the fdm.

I'd say something inappropriate at this point, but I just hope that one day people wake up to the damage he does

I was thinking... it might be best with damping adjustment to make a property that you can adjust 'on the fly' until you get the right result and then we can hard-wire this value in.

At the end, i achieved a stable takeoff. It was reaaalllllyyy hard to stay stable on hover. But, this model is almost perfect in forward flight except these cases. . I'd hoped that was the case 1-This huey is under-damped on yaw axis, means yaw stability is under damped. Maybe the vertical fin on t...

YEP... spot on

I'll be happy with like a helicopter... so in reality you don't disagree with what I've said at all.

Hi guys, thanks.. This is a very difficult puzzle to resolve, not made easier by the fact I've never been in a helicopter. I do think though that we need to understand the process of design that is being taken, where we are in it and what I think needs to happen to move onto the next stage. The near...
