Mike Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 looks good fun but wonder if you can auto rotate if the motor stops. The tail rotor seems quite slow but obviously doing its job?? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tail rotor seems quite slow but obviously doing its job??Mike tail rotor is for turning only, the way that blades are powered means no torque effect.. i could see 3 of these bolting onto my macro prop and water in the fuel tank...now theres a weight reduction.... and a serious thought!

Definitely worth thinking about though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
