jblosser Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) You can always tell when Casper hasn't accidentally done a "drop table" for awhile, as he goes on a new thread posting binge...At startup I thought i was gonna hurl, but then it turned out OK. As others have said, it may or may not remind me of my mis-spent youth.

vf1000ride Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 So as an aircraft mechanic that offers a whole new look into rotor flight dynamics I was more impressed with the lack of rotor flex and the minimal inputs required in flight for an RC machine and the perfect placement/balance of the camera to allow it to still fly. I wish somebody would try that with a full size heli, that would be much more impressive. The optical illusion in flight wasn't as interesting as it is a result of the harmonics caused by the frame rate difference versus rotor speed.

ReconRat Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) There's an argument on another forum about whether it was filmed using shutter speed sync or frame rate sync (or both) to produce the image of the blade steady in the pic.It was neither. The camera is turning with the blade. Mounted on the main shaft. Blade appears stationary. Everything else gets warped.edit: And did anyone notice it was flying upside down for a while?

vf1000ride Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Huh, here are a couple shots of full size rotors at speed. Notice the more dramatic blade movements.http://youtu.be/SjFSt4Msde0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
