What does the flybar do on a RC helicopter?

Why do RC Helicopters have flybars? RC Helicopters have flybars to keep the helicopter stable while it is in the air. In helicopters with mechanical flybars, these help keep strain off the servos that are housed in the rotor system of the RC Helicopter.

What is a Flybar used for?

The Flybar is a modification of the traditional pogo stick design which allows riders to propel themselves up to a world record 8 feet 6 inches into the air according to the Flybar’s website.

How can I increase the range of my RC helicopter?

Three things that I expect to make a significant improvement (2x to 3x) in maximum RC helicopter control range:

1. Trim about 2cm off of the controller antenna with a wire cutter.
2. Bend the Ruixing board about 0.5 cm away from the main PCB (which has a huge groundplane)

What is throttle hold for RC helicopters?

The throttle hold function will allow you to lock the engine throttle/speed at a pre-set value, usually idle or electric motor off while still having full control over the collective pitch using the combined throttle/collective stick. This function is usually activated by a toggle switch on your RC helicopter radio.

How can I increase the range of my drone?

Gain is measured in dB, with unidirectional antennas having typically 1-3dB and directional having usually 8-15dB. The impact of gain is huge. For example, other things being equal, a 2dB antenna on 2.4GHz will give you a range of 6km while a 16dB Yagi antenna will increase this range to 33km.

What is Channel in RC helicopter?

One channel controls the speed of the main rotor/throttle (lift). The second channel controls the speed or pitch of the tail rotor to turn the heli left or right (yaw).

What is a throttle cut?

Definition. Throttle cut is any condition which causes the ECU to reduce the throttle plate angle, even if the actual accelerator pedal potentiometer is at WOT. The ECU will only restore throttle angle once actual boost pressure falls to at or below the desired boost pressure.

How do you adjust a RC helicopter swashplate?

Push right on the aileron stick and the swashplate tilts right; Push left on the aileron stick and the swashplate tilts left. Push up on the throttle stick (collective) and the swashplate will rise; pull down on the throttle stick (collective) and the swashplate will lower.

How does the Flybar work on a RC helicopter?

Traditionally, FP and CP rc helicopters use a flybar* to influence the angle of the rotor disc. The flybar is a short rod perpendicular to the main rotor blades. At each end of the flybar is an airfoil paddle and the flybar moves in direct response to the tilting of the swashplate,…

How does cyclic control work on a RC helicopter?

This cyclic control changes the pitch angle of the whole rotor disc, which is the imaginary circle drawn in the air by the tips of the spinning blades. Traditionally, FP and CP rc helicopters use a flybar* to influence the angle of the rotor disc. The flybar is a short rod perpendicular to the main rotor blades.

Can a flybarless controller be used on a helicopter?

Flybarless (FBL) controllers allow radio-controlled helicopters to achieve level and stable flight without the use of a mechanical flybar.

How does the Hiller control system work on a flybar?

Hiller control system In the Hiller control system, all cyclic pitch control is mediated by the flybar. The flybar has a small airfoil paddleon each end, and is able to ‘twist’ to alter the pitch of the paddles cyclically in response to cyclic inputs.
