For what it's worth many toy RC helis exist with collective pitch tail rotor setups and full feedback stabilization - it started with tailrotor yaw hold automation and now they can stabilize in all axes. Check out something like Blade mCPx
- gjhan 8y agoThe dynamics, which are not just the rigid body dynamics plus the aerodynamics of the vehicle but also include many structural modes of the rotorhead and blades, are not scale invariant. An RC helicopter is proportionally stiffer in certain degrees of freedom by an order of magnitude (in rotor angular velocity and thrust:weight ratio e.g.), and so can ignore dynamical factors that dominate the control and structural sizing for manned helicopters.
- halbritt 8y agoDo you think a PID control would would fail to be able to accommodate those dynamic factors?
