Biker Joe Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hey all,I got the firespitter mod with the intention of making helos and multirotor craft but that seems to be easier said than done!A few of my smaller designs have worked but whenever I've tried to build a large scale VTOL/rotory craft things tend to go wrong very quickly!A little help please?

martinezfg11 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hey all,I got the firespitter mod with the intention of making helos and multirotor craft but that seems to be easier said than done!A few of my smaller designs have worked but whenever I've tried to build a large scale VTOL/rotory craft things tend to go wrong very quickly!A little help please?Can you elaborate a little more? Are you using multiple rotors? Are you centering the center of thrust to your CoM? Are your firespitter blades pointing in the correct direction? Some firespitter rotors have arrows that need to be pointing forward and some tail rotors need to be facing left or pointing down. This is not on the realistic side, but try adding reaction wheels for better controllability. The SAS is pretty good at compensating for small deviations in CoT/CoM placement.Maybe show some pictures, that could help a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker Joe Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thanks,Yes by multirotor I mean multiple rotors, like quadcopters and such but my designs never work, I tried adding some reaction wheels but no good, maybe I have to go over my designs more, I didn't pos any pictures cos they don't work!
