Skyrider Test_Part 2: Balancing

The center of gravity (CG) should be exactly balanced, so that the Skyrider is leveled at flight. This can be achieved by aligning the point of suspension or the batteries. In Take 1, a glued aluminum brace broke and was reinforced in the next takes.

Ok, probably not one of my best videos. But an important step to get the Skyrider into the air! Maybe I should have added some more explanation.

I wonder how many miles of flight per kwh this can get. The pedal generator would extend range a little. And if the tires were inflated with hydrogen gas that would help with weight even more. Doubt it would cause a balance issue since the wheels might still weigh more than the buyant force.

@@forschungsbuero Another thing you must have considered, but don't mention in the video description is the trust axis of the motor.: If the pivot point is above the trust axis, as in the first part of the test, you'll have a pitch up force when applying throttle?
