Plane Crazy - Helicopter Basics | Ep. 4

[@sputnikplanitia2531]

Just wanna point out that on 7:17, that placement of engine would give lots and lots of leverage to get the blades spinning, however it is the slowest. Whereas in 7:23, the engines would accelerate the blades very slowly, however it would eventually go faster than 7:17. Basically, the closer the engine is to the "pivot point" of the rotors, the faster the blades will spin, but the slower it will accelerate. Great video by the way!

[@MA_Colt]

I think you can use control surfaces to have less drag than wing panels, I used it on my Huey and I think it does, just make sure the control surfaces have a useless key bind so they don’t effect your helicopter.

[@realFireyOblivion]

Really? I never tested this before but interesting to keep in mind, thank you!

[@mhk1.]

Colt, what are yuo doing here

[@TacticalTaxCollector]

oh hi colt

[@crackedtadacktle1003]

Yeah I heard this before and did a few tests and I'm like 90% sure it works. One quick test is to use a heli and try to tilt with control surfaces vs wing panels and theres a noticeable difference

[@Hero1k]

Oh hello, Colt

[@CasuallyYobudwilson]

Stability and control is the most helpful thing I forgot to view, I was too excited on making my helicopter I eventually forgot to put a tail rotor, a tail rotor helps the helicopter from spinning and it stabilizes it. Thanks man

Try to reverse the keybinds

you'll need something to counteract the torque from the rotor (I think,it probably isn't real on plane crazy) like a second rotor spinning at the opposite direction

[@htsdrdzrfhzhzts6092]

There is a solution to the helicopter rolling due to the blades drag. The solution is to have toggle-and-servo motor'2. When altering blade angle (VTOL) while flying can cause your heli to roll, thus presetting the blades to be angled before moving can cause your heli to roll. Using this knowledge you can use preset your heli to roll in the opposing direction of the drag caused rolling. basically using angle-changes in your blades (which can be used for rolling) to counter the drag. This technique takes some tuning since angling it too much with the servo can roll in the other direction, too little would not fix the problem. Hope you found this useful.

[@htsdrdzrfhzhzts6092]

The rolling caused by the angled blades only effect the plane when moving forward/backward. while hovering or stationary, it would only add some amount of thrust upwards depending on how angled you preset it.

[@realFireyOblivion]

I couldnt have said it better, and infact planned on making a video to explain this!

[@htsdrdzrfhzhzts6092]

@@realFireyOblivion Your welcome! I hope this technique can help sigle-rotor heli builders in plane crazy. This technique can be a problem for people who use motor-1 for their rotors, as adding a motor-2 can make the joint unfashionable and bulky. I would recommend using control-surfaces if anybody is to use this technique.

[@htsdrdzrfhzhzts6092]

Another technique (works on all aerial vehicles): Would be to use inverted motor-2s on any aerial vehicles to make them mouse-aim-controlled, eg: in the vertical stabilizers on planes; tail rotors of a heli; and so on. This would be useful for war-thunder veterans and new players, as this technique allows a vehicles to point towards your cursor. I found this very useful when utilizing the toggle function. To be able to use it to aim my gun and turn it off when I finish a pass or use it to tune my plane after dropping bombs is very useful. Same goes for a heli as this allows you to aim fixed rocket pods more effectively. It does however can get flaked by some professionals as being "bug-like". I hope you find this technique useful as well, this is an under-rated style of flight in the plane crazy community.

[@waterenjoyer162]

@@realFireyOblivion , can you help me? Whenever the helicopter is idle flying in the air, it just spins the same direction of the rotors. You didn't say how to implement a tail rotor to fix this issue, and i don't know what to do.

I would like to point out that the glitch engine is highly unstable in high ping situations OR if you place them at the very front of your wings making them generating a greater force I usually just slap it at around the middle (preferably closer to the center) so that I don't randomly glitch out in the middle of a battle to the middles of nowherex or you can just use rocket engines instead

Could you use a piston for the hover thruster to avoid it glitching out, I use a potato pc so it runs horribly, my jet wobbles at only 500 speed. Also could I use motor 2s with the toggle feature and max angle feature enabled to make quicker movement like instantly switching from upward lift to downward lift and since I’m only like 10 mins into the vid it could be used to keep it hovering to. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hey dude i have a question- How do you stop your plane from wobbling (when your going "really" fast)

[@skoovee]

I have the same problem and I make low wing area craft than need a lot of speed to fly but will get wobble Ibhave lost so much time to this

[@realFireyOblivion]

I sorta covered this in plane basics, but it's mainly caused by your plane going too fast for it to handle. This can also be caused from lag slowing down your plane's max speed, and causing it to wobble much earlier on. To fix this, you can either slow down, or try adding wing panels in certain spots to even out the lift on the plane.

[@realFireyOblivion]

For hovering in most of my helis, I simply configure them so I can reach a state where the force of lift from my blades (or engines) is equal to the force of gravity. In this situation, the helicopter begins to hover, not moving down or up. My helis are also made to be stable enough to hover. I have hidden ballast blocks and Helium in practically every single one I have, and to get them stable for hover, it’s just trial and error. Constant testing and tweaking of your build’s stability will help you achieve your best hovering results.
