Question: Helicopter Plans
Hello everybody! So I've been searching around for a while now and I haven't seen much on the internet in the way of this, so I thought I'd ask my friends here at FT.
Has anyone found plans for building a flybarless helicopter from scratch? This won't be my first helicopter, and I know this is definitely not the way that people typically go about making one, but I'm an engineering student with some access to some good machine tools and I just wanted to see if anyone has ever come across someone building one of these guys from nothing. I'm not looking for anything that has massive amounts of performance, but I'd love to see it fly and have some good control just for say park flying.
My initial searches came up with this:
Homemade RC Helicopters
and this:
Science: Making an RC Helicopter at Your Home possibly by the same guy.
However, I was looking for something a little professional looking, maybe out of aluminum (I've got a good supply while I'm a student).
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
