"... Increasing Pitch Beyond Lift to Stall Angle."

Offhand, it sounds like this might be a little problem.

The long white part (airfoil profile, skinned with a repurposed bedsheet): Is that one of the rotors? Sort of looks like chord to length ratio should be considered more thoroughly.

Why so many plings!? Do you speak like that!? If so, it must be very strange conversing with you!

No, It Just Beats a Period! I Think I'm going to Make another Flight Test Today! Instead of Test Flight Previously! I will put it on You Tube for you! Started around Christmas But, Part Time Took a While I can Sleep in My Bed Finally! It's been a Parts Dept. since XMAS Can't Send video of Failed Flight Test But you can see it on You Tube Charles Glazebrook & Twitter rotate1953 I Really Think Today is the Day? I don't know anything about computers & Don't know what URL is to Send Vid.? See Hillers Hornet & Vid. of 1st Electric version in 50s Powered by Long ext.Chord! Only seconds of Video Seen After Starting My Project. I came up with the Idea while sitting Home with Neck Injury & Learned enough about computers to send simple email I'm calling It My (Corvette of Copters) I'll Make another vid. Today? Hopefully!

I agree with SolarEagle: your enthusiasm is, at the very least, remarkable.

I've watched your project on your varied threads - I'm sorry buddy, but I'm having a lot of trouble following what you're up to (wings off of a Piper Cub? That just has 'Bad Idea' written all over it).

Good luck to you, don't get yourself hurt too badly, let us know how it's going.

I Think All of You will Understand My Enthusiasum? When you see Video of 2nd.Test! Neither Battery has been Charged Yet & 1 Shorted During Build when a Friend Soldered Pos. & Neg on Plug WRONG! Burning 3' of Ext. chord & Smoked an 80 amp. Red Brick ESC! Now that Shaft Problem is Fixed, Rotation is Excellent! Contacts Worked Perfectly!I don't Know the 1st. Thing about This Radio Pitch Curve Throttle Settings Sub Trim? I wanted Some Neg. for Auto Rotation & Thought I could Trim It? But Neg. Forces Must have overode Servo? Anyway I Think This Video will Generate alot of Interest in the Concept! The Video is on You Tube Now! Charles Glazebrook A Little Tweaking & Fully Charged Batteries Should Help! I also took off what amounted to a Baseball Bats weight! Oak Axles,3' 3/16 Steel Round Stock,3 3" Mag Wheels No Foam,Maybe 3lbsTotal! I May Even Leighten Wings Loosing Boat Wrap Covering over Balsa Skin & Recovering with Paper & Dope or Monocoat? May even Change props. to something else? 10x5 Pitch Now? Go to You Tube Charles Glazebrook I Think your Gonna Like IT! You Don't have to take My word for it Watch Video & Tell Me what you & Your Friends Think? This Test had Low Batteries Never Charged & Neg. Pitch Problem Those Fixed I Think it (WILL) Fly That Battery that Shorted Must be Low?

No! It doesn't beat a period! It is an indication of exclamation, not just the end of a declarative statement. (regular sentence)

I thought I saw some fuzzy photos here yesterday.

Most of the members here are older and learned punctuation and grammar when it meant something.

Take a deep breath, count to 10 and give us some good pictures and a concise explanation of the project. It sounds interesting.

Listen, dude, slow down long enough to really think out a complete thought (a sentence), and then type it down in a complete thought (a sentence). When you string your thoughts altogether that way it either makes some of us have attention span deficit disorder, ADHD (attention decifit head-banging with hand disorder), or it is a sign that you have riddles and ADHD. Sorry for the bluntness, but I know you can do better than that. Happy for you that you are able to make progress on your project. I hope you experience success in that goal of seeing it fly (controllably).

The easy way to send a link would be to try this: Navigate to whatever web page (Ya'll Tube, or whatever) the video is on, or the pictures. Highlight the browser window tag bar at the top of the screen, then copy it. Now paste the link into one of your replies on this blog.

This is the continuation of the saga on another thread. I expect to see the pigs flying before this does.

Hope You Watched Vid. Of 1st. & 2nd. Test? I'm Sure you Know Now that the Concept is a Very Efficiante one! 1st. Time Out Collar Slipped Pitching Allmost Staight Up. Shaft not even Scratched Too hard for Set screws Shaft Not even Scratched.Dimpled Shaft OK Now! 2nd. Time Out Neg. Pitch Put in for Autorotation to Work. But,Wing Overpowered Servos & Held Neg.! If I could have Pitched Up Even Slightly? It would have Lifted! Dropped 5-7 lbs. Landing Gear Oak axles = Baseball Bat,3' 3/16 Steel Round stock,4 3" Mags & Rubber Tires,Steering Bellcrank linkage & Servo And a Handfull of Collars! Removed Boat wrap Over Balsa Covering & Most of Balsa.Replacing with Monocoat Film! 3rd. Time's a CHARM! Plagued by Small Problems New Improved Mixing Arms Should Fix this (Last) Issue? Watch for Next Vid. I'm Sure it will Fly NOW! If you've seen Videos You Know it WILL! Just, Built a Bit TOO Durable! See Hillers Hornet & Hiller & Bell 1st. Vid. on You Tube Single Tail Fin Axis control Other Videos of People Using Pie Plates! I don't Trust Anything that Can't Autorotate or Glide? Quads,Tri Copters & Dual Lifting Tilt Rotors & Others! Ounce Tweaked, This will be a (Corvette of Copters) & Safe as a Stork! Batteries will Get Charged for 1st. Time! Been Using them since Xmas & Shorted for 4 seconds During Build! I'm Sure they are Low @ Best Even Slowing Motors During last Test! This (PIg) Just, Needed Jenny Craig Weight Loss to Fly!

Do you actually have videos up on You Tube or something? Could you actually copy the link to them and paste it in your reply, so we don't have to "datamine" the entire internet to find them?

I am reminded of a story of a gentleman in Seminole, TX as the bus depot. He asks the clerk: "What time does that bus leave for Hobbs, NM?" Clerk replies, "That bus departs at 5:00 p.m. sharp!" The old gentleman asks the clerk one more question, "When does it arrive in Hobbs?" Clerk replies, "That bus arrives in Hobbs, NM at precisely 5:00 p.m.! Would you like to purchase a ticket?"

The old gentleman: "No thanks, I will just sit down here and watch that thing take off!"

I hope no one in here is time zone challenged.
