News for the Helicopter Guys

[Guest Skymed]

I just uploaded my webpage to build a complete set of Helicopter controls. However, they could easily be used for a fixed wing fighter type aircraft too.http://www3.nbnet.nb.ca/shanley/Steve

Outstanding work, Steve! Quite a bit of work too going through all those trials to get the design just right.Peter http://bfu.avsim.net/sigpics/PeterR.gifBFU Forums ModeratorRenegade/Seawolf Design Group (RSDG)[table border=2 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=1][tr][td][table border=0 cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0][tr][td bgcolor=#540000]http://bfu.avsim.net/sigpics/logo75t.gif[/td][td align="center" bgcolor=#FFFFF6]Bush Flying Unlimited"At home in the wild"Looking for adventure?

Hi Steve,Very nice work. Very clever! (I have nearly the same type of joystick :-) ) Can you give us some measurements of the (wooden) stick ?Thanks for sharing this with us !hm

What a design masterstoke! I started construction today.I picked the wood up yesterday. With any luck my lazy susan bearing will arrive very soon. I will let you all know how it turns out. Yeah, Some dimensions for the stick would be ideal Steve. Again thanks for the wonderfully thought out gear. (have you seen how much a commercial cyclic and pedals set cost ?)

OK. but remember, this design will take some serious thoughts to make everything work without plans, and I am in the process of making plans, but it will take a few weeks to get them done. They are, as yet, not in a digital format, so this is the best I can do.Squares are all 1".http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/shanley/cyclicplan.jpgSteve
