Perhaps the copter guy will go into buggies/trucks now:D

VintageRacer 24-08-2007 07:46 AM

Why indeed.

Impressed with their helicopter flying skills. Still don't understand how a helicopter can fly upside-down.

I wish I had enough money to smash raptors at will :p

'3D' helicoptors dont vary the speed of the rotor to control how much lift they get, it runs at a constant rpm and they vary the angle of the baldes

so, they can turn the angle of the blades to a negative angle and reverse the thrust that the rotor gives.... very clever!

You just reverse the pitch of the blades so they are pushing air in the opposite direction :)

VintageRacer 24-08-2007 08:57 AM

Simple really.

Now you just need to explain why! :eh?:

Top skills, good to see how stonrg the revo was as it just bounced back onto its wheels and carried on!!

Pidge, I think you have to much time on your hands.:o

Just keep thinking about the little japanese girls that you'll see in 2weeks.;)

The ability to use negative pitch was designed for autorotation (power the rotors from the air flowing over them during a decent without an engine) so you could emergancy land a helicopter, they got developed to a point to enable stunt flying and completely inverted flight though.

Good skills.

Now i'm thinking someone should hover a copter above your wall of death. First buggy to wipe it out gets a prize. :D

Interesting, although I meant why someone would want to smash a buggy into a hovering helicopter. Thanks anyway.

mole2k 24-08-2007 12:02 PM

Ah, thats ones a bit harder to understand :p

lazerboy 24-08-2007 06:24 PM

Are buggy's and tc's all you guys race over there?

Yeah, that's right, nothing else exists does it? What's a monster truck?

I must have a different idea of what is cool then. To me, it just looks like a waste of what appeared to be a perfectly functioning helicopter.

Maybe I'm just too old to understand.
