First of all, I want to thank my gurus and inspiration in terms of simulation that are Triggerhappy69 and Oakes.
I started the realization of flight controls for Black Shark (collective, cyclic and rudder). The major principle of this project are:
- Mechanical, made by milling and turning (thick aluminum), uses hydraulics and has no springs (no return to the center ring)
- The electronics is based on reuse of PCBs my cougar (stick and trottle), and thus setting the foxy and hall effect sensors (SS495), (except for the rudder that keeps potentiometers).
- The Cougar joystick will be the cyclic stick.
- The rudder resume some elements of my ProPedal in a new geometry.
The design is based on Autodesk Inventor
Manufacturing is done with a milling SIEG X3 (without CNC but with DRO) and a late CQ6l25
