RC Gyrocopter / Autogyro 3D Printed parts

thingiverse

This is a work in progress! Some parts of this autogyro are taken (or remixed) from this great RC Gyrocopter Project: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4172759 There is still a lot to improve on this autogyro. It would be better to use largest rotor blades. This are the largest blades that my Ender 3 can print in one go. If your printer can print larger blades, try to scale them up. The pre-rotation system works well (see video below). I am still learning to fly RC Autogyros, so I am still using autostabilisation to fly - my FC is running INAV (yaw, roll, pich are stabilized) with the option for manual flight on a switch. I set the radio to have a Rotor pre-rotation start Mode - this includes a slowly increasing rotor pitch to the max possible angle so that the pre-rotation wheel hits the pre-rotaton motor alu spinner - then the ESC for the pre-rotaton motor (1.5 sec delay and about 12 sec slowed down speeding up is set up in the transmitter) starts spinning the rotor - transmition is done via the drag between the TPU O-ring on the pre-rotation wheel and the alu spinner on the pre-rotation motor. When the rotor reaches the necessary rotation speed the pre-rotation Mode is cancelled using one switch on the radio. Both brushless motors are supplied by the main lipo - 3s voltage. I have uploaded all the stl files so everyone has an option to use them and improve the design using their knowlede and creativity by remixing the design. My goal is to get a great RC Autogyro in the end. Material: PLA and TPU Layer hight: the lower the better, especially for the rotor blades!
