Monday, I received plans for a tandem rotor rc gyro. Being a big fan of the H46 and 47 I was excited to see how the designer controlled the rotor. Unfortunately, they were fixed. All control was by engine power, elevators and rudders on the tail. The rotors, themselves, were set at -4 degrees...no lift here!
The designer has the mast angle for both rotors set at +4 deg. and the blades set at -4deg. making flight questionable. If it flew at all it would be from engine power and maybe a small amount of newton's lift from the rotors.:rant:
