Helicopter Tail
Helicopter Tail
Im trying to make a helicopter and i have some questions about the design?


how do helicopters turn?
i need to make a rotor thing what can i make it out of and
how?
can i used rudder like things on the back to steer instead of a tail rotor?

Before you try to make your own, I suggest buying a radio-controlled helicopter and learning to fly it (though you will almost certainly crash it). They're very complicated machines, and you'll need to study one up close to have any chance at building one.

As for replacing the tail rotor with a rudder, this will not work. Without a restoring torque on the tail, the main rotor will cause the helicopter to spin violently, leading to loss of control and a crash. A rudder could supply this restoring torque when the helicopter is traveling at speed, but when it's hovering (which it does every time you take off and land), the rudder provides no force whatsoever. If you tried to fly such a design, I guarantee it would crash almost immediately.

Helicopter Suffers Tail Rotor Failure

The tail rotor on my Mini RC helicopter broke and I have a replacement but I need help.?


I have the replacement, but when I put it on, it spirals out of control. If I look at the original and the replacement, they look identical!

What is wrong and how can I fix it?

You need to make sure you have the tail rotor oriented correctly. It is possible to install a tail rotor backwards in some cases, which would just make your heli spin like crazy.

I could give you a better answer if I could see/knew exactly what type of tail rotor you have. However, generally the tail rotor must blow air to counter the rotation of your main rotor blades.

E.g.:
- if your main blades rotate clockwise
- tail rotor pushes the tail clockwise also

This stops the tail's tendancy to rotate counter to the direction of the main rotor blades.

Alternatively, depending on the type of heli, you may have issues with your tail gyro adjustment, tail gyro direction setting, or tail servo linkage adjustment.

Hope that helps
