It would be nice to have a home somewhere on the Usenet experimental helos. I think there are probably a lot more projects out there than anyone realizes, maybe even more so than scratch built airplanes. |

Yes there are quite a few projects out there. Because of the magazine
connection I've heard of quite a few. Example: A design like the kids toy that has a shaft and a rotor blade. Spin the shaft in your hands and release and the thing takes off. A person approached me with his "Design" that simulated the toy. The shaft and rotor was attached to a harness and he had a pre spin arrangement to get the thing going and then he stepped back and away he would go. All design and never tried. Others that believe that they could take an ultra light helicopter and lift more wt. (275# pilot) by merely increasing the power. Another who had never built a helicopter was going to "Correct" the fallacies of Bell, Hiller, Enstrom etc and buiild his own 5-6 seat helicopter that would do all the things the other guys designs couldn't do. Yes there are a bunch of backyard cowboys that just know that they can defeat most of the laws of physics. Stu Fields Experimental Helo magazine "Maxwell" wrote in message ...

I realize it's an area of interest the certainly has it's share if crack pots, but I bet there are some guys it would be fun to follow as well. A lot of folks used to post on RAH, but it was a constant clash, trying mix home builders with professional and military rotorcraft pilots. They really need their own group. |
