Electrotor-Plus ~ Control (flight & power)

Overview:

For information see; OTHER: Electrical - Control

Notes: To be relocated to Group B level pages.

Control - Flight - Mechanical:

See DESIGN: Electrotor-Simplex ~ Rotor - Hub - Overview of In-Mast Rods, to begin with.

Pitch link will be on blade's trailing edge and on the opposite side of teetering hinge to its blade.

The current drawing is showing delta3; by Control System Geometry.

Trim Switch: Consider a trim switch on the cyclic to tilt the Primary Assemblies in a for/aft direct. This is to eliminate the teetering of the gyro during prolonged consistent flight profiles. This trimming may move the cyclic stick back to the center. Is this good or bad?

Control - Flight - Electrical:

Electric pitch control should mean that a much simpler gyro, motor and gearbox can be used. For now see; Electrotor-SloMo ~ Control (flight & power)

Secondary Grouping:

	Control - Flight - Mechanical:
	The head will tip due to the gyroscopic action of the motor however the pitch links should keep the blades at the correct pitch.
	Control - Flight - Electrical:		.
	Consider one actuator for collective (it does not change frequently and therefore uses little current). Consider only one other actuator for the combined cyclic of both of the two blades.

	Control - Power:
