My friend, I usually don't leave comments, but I just wanted to say thank you. As a child I was obsessed with aircraft. I got my pilots license at 19 and never looked back. At 63 I am disabled and am un able to renew my license. I am relegated to RC aircraft and am particularly inspired to build an experimental light aircraft thanks to your videos. Thank you again for all your hard work, and yes, it takes a lot of work to put together a series of youtube videos. Cheers!

Since your main rotor is spinning clockwise, the reason your helicopter keeps turning left (yaw) is because your tail rotor isn’t producing enough force to compensate. If you slightly increased the pitch if that tail rotor or got it to spin slightly faster that will alleviate that left yaw

That is impressive, given the constraints of the (usually) standard main rotor/tail rotor set up. I really liked how it flew, then banked, then flew, the banked, until it began to run out of power and just landed. Pretty cool for something that has no external control system.

Mechanic stability is so much cooler than electronic I’m so glad u explained the flybar
Something I made about 20 years ago was an r/c helo with a pusher prop and rudder. I used a hinged main rotor and mounted two tiny out-runner motors on the fly bars, each chasing the other, offsetting any angular momentum, which would otherwise be present, were the rotor driven by stationary means. It worked pretty well.
I absolutely love watching Peter just for his passion of anything flight orientated, he is like what my childlike fascination would be like if I never had to grow up. I still feel like helicopters are the evil side of flight but this video brings it round a bit. I'm now wondering when Peter will build a full size helicopter. Love your work, thumbs up.

You don't need one, go to your local hobby shop and buy some balsa wood, and they should probably have some pulleys that would work for the tail rotor.
I used to be a helicopter mechanic. On our helos the main rotor turned at 203 rpm. and the tail rotor was at 3030 rpm. If you play with the pulley ratio you should make the tail rotor more effective. May I recommend an o-ring for the connection between the pulleys.
I love how light hearted he is when it breaks
I love these vids. They have been inspiring me to do diy stuff at home. Recently I built my own diy hovercraft out of foam board, a trash bag, and an old mini quad. Thank you
Try adding a NOTAR type deflector on the tail boom (and/or the nose boom). It deflects the downdraft to counter the main rotor torque, what the tail rotor does. When set just right it counteracts at the same rate as the main rotor torque.
Without a doubt, the 3D printer is the best invention in the last 50 years.
Great vid! hyper-interesting! One note about "Further" and "Farther". Always use "farther" when talking about actual distance. For example: "With the remaining windings on this rubber band, the helicopter could have flown much farther." Use "further" when it's a verb as in "To further my in-home education, I subscribed to an online documentary series". Also user "further" when you are talking about degree. "The further I get into my project, the more money I have to borrow from David." All good wishes.

Or destroyed the heli itselft.
Had one like yours in the 1950’s. It had counter rotating props. One on each end of the stick with a rubber band in the middle. It would always fly vertical even when launched horizontally.
you can control the tail more precisely using gear reduction, also position the fly bar on top of the blades with lead weights, flybar needs to have heavy tips. i have designed a working version few years back and flew amazing, well done, love the balsa propeller idea

Hey Peter, I've been in Science Olympiad for about 6 years now, and we had an event for both freeflight balsa airplanes and freeflight helicopters. My favourite event was helicopters and we used a very interesting technique you may have seen recently, called chinook. Our copters and planes were all balsa powered and it would be really cool to see you try to make some of those! You probably know about Joshua Finn already but his channel shows off the freeflight kits most teams use.
Can't wait for the next episode already! keep up the amazing work peter! hope you are staying safe, goodbye for now.
I had one of those penny wr copters I built from a kit, years ago., flew about 10 seconds, but did a 180 and came right back. Could catch it every time, really cool. When you get it figured out I will buy one.
i used to play with rubber band power planes when i was kid. wanted a rc airplane too but couldnt afford it when i was a kid. Glad ur still pursuing ur hobbies

I LOVED this video. Had lots drama, comedy, suspenseful and VERY entertaining.
im only like less than 4 minutes in an i already know this path leads to peter building a light weight helicopter that he can fly himself. TBH it would be a relief from all of the "hovercraft" videos that are basically heavy weight drones strong enough to lift a person. to a straight up aerodynamics lesson in how to lift more than a person, in a vertical direction, while keeping the same directional facing.
Interesting development process! Watched in wonder and awe through the whole thing. I did helicopters too but mine were a tiny bit bigger than yours. Ended up as head of future projects of a small outfit where our Lynx held the world speed record for helicopters. Our helicopters had semi-rigid rotors actuated by dangleberries so didn't have those wambly teetering rotor things. Two technical points....one you seem to have solved but may have reneged on, and that is the top tail rotor blade should rotate aft .... and the other relates to when I used to teach helicopter flight performance at uni, and that is it is pointless to get too complicated in the flower arranging department since helicopters fly simply because they are so ugly that the earth rejects them. Nice project....congratulations.
I saw this on Louis Weisz stream!
Man you’ve inspired me so much these past few months so I’ve invested in foam board a motor wax flysky i6 n almost finished my first wing keep up the great content 😊😊😊🤓
I love the he laughs as the helicopter flying , so satisfying
You did it, you actually did it. I have never seen such a successful flight for a rubberband helicopter.
Plot twist: he's gonna make a spinning heli just like that in full scale! Imagine the plight of the passengers lmao!
The rubber band in your hair was hilarious, I laughed so hard. :D
in 1931/3 Sirkosky solved the torque problem of copters. He put a tail rotor (for both torque control and direction control). Throughout history - copters have had the torque problem (torque translated to the main body of the device). A machine producing torque will transfer that torque to the main body (the main reason a copter can auto-rotate when power fails) Auto-rotatation means that the torque in the engine will cause main body to spin. This as the effect of bleeding the energy of the copter and potentially causing a rough landing that yoy may walk away. Sirkosky invented the helicopter we now use today. WWII Germany was one of the 1st nations to grasp this idea and create an entire line of copters.

This video is all about "Hahaha...Its Amazing!" 😂😂 No Offense
Nice work👍 something I've played around with on multiple occasions...... balancing your rotor head as you would a prop should take out some of the instability as well as possibly add some voids in the ends of your fly bar and put weights..... There's definitely a "gearing ratio" for your main rotor to tail rotor based on rotational disc size with a couple of slight modifications you could turn it into a gyro kite as well 🤔
Well Done!!! my son wants it for christmas!!!!! He preffers something like this rather than a bought in a store one!!!! So cool!!!!
Hi Peter, this is truly amazing, I am filled with great childhood nostalgia watching this. Im going to try making one.
“My helicopter is making weird noise. Oh. What’s that?” MeatBeater 3000
6:12, when u cut the rotors its so addictive, the sound
Need to reduce the pitch of the rotor at the tips. Form them on a larger diameter form and offset up to 15 degrees. Static balance the rotor. This was fun to watch.
Maybe try a spring coil with a gear reduction system. The gears can also be ratcheted so you can tighten with drill without spinng the blades. A copper spring from a clock should be good for weight...

I tried gearing the propeller at 3:1 ratio and using heavier multi-stranded elastic bands wound up inside a carbon fibre horizontal centre bar, it achieved a longer flight time for the tension stored in the bands, and reduces the initial speed burst at take offs.
