    While making this video I accidentally deleted all the original animation files and video files not once but TWO TIMES!! Set me back by three months! I almost gave up when it got deleted the second time, but I decided to complete the video at any cost. I knew it would be worth it in the end. Hence the late upload. Sorry about that. I choose quality over quantity. My next video will be mind-blowing, I promise!

      Outstanding work! I would suggest you use software like TimeMachine(Mac), BackInTime(Linux) or any equivalent if you are using Windows. It is literally a lifesaver. It helps not only if you accidentally delete your files, but also if anything gets corrupted or in case you make an irreversible change to your work you would like to revert.

      @@sygdesignworks And that's the right thing to do! The kind of software I'm suggesting you, though, is not a replacement for your backup scheme. It's used on your main disk (which contains the files you are currently working on) and enables you to revert from changes you have made to a specific time. For example, if you are currently working on an animation and you make a change you don't like, you can make your files as they were right before you made that change 2 hours or 2 days before, for example. This is also handy if you accidentally delete a file. You can immediately find it in your "data history". No need to revert to the last time you manually made a backup (which would be probably outdated). Trust me. You should definitely give it a try.
      Keep up the good work! Cheers

    In order to tilt the rotor disk forward, the swash plate is tilted to the left. Not forward. Gyroscopic phenomenon.
    And so on for the other tilts.
    Backwards = swashplate tilt to the right
    Left = swashplate tilt backwards
    Right = swasthplate tilt forward
    (if the rotor is turning clockwise, in top down view. The oposite is true if the rotor is turning counter clockwise)

Other case, if the linkage is 90 deg not directly from the swashplate, i.e., the linkage came up from the swashplate and then links to a mixing arm, then from the other end of the mixing arm links to the main grip 90 deg from the first start of the 'joint'.

  • @michaelmrvosh
    @michaelmrvosh Рік тому

    If you want to yaw the helicopter left and the main rotor blade is rotating clockwise then you would turn the lift off on the tail rotor. The torque is what yaws the helicopter to the left. If you want to yaw right then you add lift to the tail rotor to pull the tail to the left.
    You said that lift was applied in both directions to the tail rotor to control left and right yaw. I always thought the torque would yaw you in one direction and the tail rotor lift would yaw you in the other direction.

    You actually have to offset the swashplate actuators by 90° (gyroscopic precession) or it will never fly as intended.
    Also there are other differences with how a true chopper works, but I guess for those ones it's because it's a RC helicopter.

    • @sygdesignworks
      @sygdesignworks  Рік тому

      Correct. But that works when the control rods are going straight to the rotor blades. Here the the mixing lever is doing that 90 degree phasing. Thanks for watching.

    • @sygdesignworks
      @sygdesignworks  Рік тому

      The gyroscopic precession doesn't work on this model, because of the way the control rods are connected to the blades. There is no 90 degree phasing when the rods go from the mixing lever, therefore the gyroscopic precession is absent. Thanks for watching.

      In this model, due to the specific arrangement of the control rods and the mixing lever, there will be no phase shift. Therefore no gyroscopic precession.

  • @janhruska4471
    @janhruska4471 Рік тому

    YOU HAVE AN ERROR there, tilting swash plate forward NEVER tilt rotor disc fowrard. THERE IS ALWAYS 90° DELAY. At least at real helicopters. Look at UH-60 swash plate control and at what angle the pitch horns are mounted on blades.

    • @sygdesignworks
      @sygdesignworks  Рік тому

      In this model, the placement of the mixing lever against Swashplate with the control rod will cancel the phase-shift. In UH-60, the control rods goes straight from the swashplate to the rotor blades directly. Here the control rods go from swashplate to mixing lever and then to the blades.

    The explanation of rolling is totally wrong. The action of a helicopter involves the gyro effect that make the any action output delay 1/4 cycle. For example, if you need the helicopter rolls forward, actually you are giving positive pitch on right side (when the blade is rotating clockwise)

    • @sygdesignworks
      @sygdesignworks  Рік тому +1

      Not wrong at all bro. Take a look at how linkage goes straight to the blade grip from the swashplate. The gyroscopic precession occurs only when there is a phase shift of 90 degrees.

    • @JMMC1005
      @JMMC1005 Рік тому

      ​@@sygdesignworksThe gyroscopic precession always exists (it's physics) but your model automatically applies a 90 deg phase shift between swashplate and blades.
      Your animation is correct (swash forward will pitch forward), but the explanation is wrong. Pitching the swashplate forward increases / decreases pitch at 90 degrees in your model, resulting in lift asymmetry on the roll axis. Due to precession this results in pitching of the heli.
