• This page covers simple lightweight fuselages.

 Working Papers:

• This craft must be portable since it is a lightweight recreational helicopter and it is not intended for fast flight.
• Consider having the Principal Assemblies removable or having the blades fold. Removable principal assemblies will result in component weights that can be handled by one person.
• Idea: Consider having the hand grips conform to the human hand, so that there is less chance of a perturbation causing the grips from pulling out out of the pilot's hands.
• Unmanned Arial Vehicle: The UAV supports (tripod or other) would probably have much shorter legs. The batteries and payload would be vertically closer to the rotors, and both would be very aerodynamic. This will mean that the blade precone angle of 6º should be reduced.
