SynchroLite ~ Control - Flight
Overview:
The helicopter has full cyclic, collective and yaw control.
The two independently controlled ruddervators or a stabilator are linked to the pedals, to assist the rotor disks with yaw.
Either the ruddervators or the stabilator are connected to the collective. They pitch down when the collective is dropped so as to maintain similar flight control characteristics in autorotation as in normal powered flight.
Note: The following is designed for the pitch horn to be located at the front of the blade. Rotor- hub clearances may and the hub with coning hinges must have the pitch horn located at the back of the blade.
