For a long time people were worried about the idea of flight. They envied animals with wings: birds, butterflies, dragonflies. Any boy, as well as an adult, will not refuse to play even with a small flying model. And many of them are wondering how to make a helicopter with their own hands.
Of course, the finished model can be purchased at the store. Moreover, variants of different price categories and in different degrees of readiness are offered. At the request of the buyer can find a miniature car, completely ready for flight, and one that needs to be assembled from the smallest parts.
But the most interesting thing will still be such an option, how to make a radio-controlled helicopter yourself.
What is needed for this
To complete this difficult task, some materials will be needed. As usual, for example, glue, drawings, material for the manufacture of parts, and specific, such as a control panel.
Often they are interested not only in how to make a helicopter, but also how difficult it is. In fact, these models are considered relatively simple. The fact is that during their construction such types of work as gluing, grinding, tightening with material are not used. The flying machine will consist of nuts, bolts and several basic mechanisms that need to be assembled into a single whole.
It is advisable to use a gyroscope to assemble a radio-controlled helicopter. It will have to be purchased in finished form. This detail is necessary in order to properly orient the helicopter in space, it will not allow it to roll over or fall to one side. This is especially important during the first flights, when the pilot himself is still inexperienced and only learns to control his car. A gyroscope also helps compensate for wind pressure.
Where to begin
Before you make a helicopter, you need to pick up a diagram and drawings. Then cut out the components from the material (usually wood or plastic).
The parts are connected together with the help of bolts and nuts, a kind of lego helicopter is obtained. Glue is sometimes used, but such compounds may be fragile.
Engine assembly
Then proceed to the assembly of the engine. The models use batteries that are located in the center of the case to ensure an even horizontal position of the machine in the air.
The axis for the screw is screwed into the power supply, screw blades are installed on it. At this stage, you should conduct a preliminary check of the interaction of the control panel with the model engine and make sure that all functions work correctly.
It makes sense to use a special remote control for the helicopter. In addition to the basic functions that the aircraft remote control allows, the helicopter is also equipped with the ability to ensure the relationship of gas and the angle of inclination of the blades. Additional channels can be used to control a gyroscope or chassis.
Final assembly
It remains to assemble the model. You need to correctly attach the controls, do not forget about the tail rotor. The helicopter is ready for the first flight tests, which will help correct possible shortcomings.
After that, it will remain to decorate the hull, and you can enjoy the flights. It remains only to think in the future how to make the helicopter even faster and more maneuverable.
