Dennis...
I will admit that I've only seen ( up close and personal) a Scorpion ONCE in my 20 year career as a heavy helicopter mechanic, inspector, chief inspector etc. etc., and that one look was MORE than enough for me. I don't even have enough imagination, nor do I care to, picture cyclic change without blade pitch change. Maybe Sikorsky and Bell, and Boeing et.al. are missing something important all these years, huh? I never saw ANY real helicopter that slings grease the way you're talking about unless something is RADICALLY WRONG. Therein lies clue #1. I always thought they should just put servos in the thing, hand ya a radio and let you keep your distance. I could make better rotor head parts in my cellar, and you strap your ass to that thing? I STRONGLY suggest a have look a a few REAL helicopters for some good design comparisons any of which can be done before or after you have your head examined. Good Luck! Bob V. |
