    VRS While in Autorotation

    To replicate this, set up at around 2000ft AGL, drop the engine to idle, and enter a direct vertical descent autorotation. Once in a stable auto at 0 knots airspeed, and 1500-2500FPM descent, firmly pull the collective to max pitch. What I would expect to happen is my descent rate being reduced, until the rotor RPM decays enough. What happens instead is a rapid increase in descent rate (Unexpected), along with the rotor bleeding off RPM(Expected).

     

    Just wondering what you're trying to achieve doing that, or is it for experimentation purposes?

    I've only had one direct vertical 0 speed auto demonstrated to me in the Cabri G2, and at 500ft we gained a little bit (40kt ish) of fwd speed to do a normal auto landing.

    Was explained couple posts ago. In briefing pictures you can see zone of each medical facility. Cargo can be placed anywhere in that zone. Of course need to use a bit logic and creativity to not place it on landing zone :D

     

    Thanks, stuff like that gets lost in a 17 page thread.

    Compass heading would be more useful than X o'clock. Both would be good.

     

    Yes I was just thinking the same. Heading is good for long legs, o'clock is good for picking up people.

    Did a sling load mission, was a bit lost where exactly to place the cargo. I guess just in the boundary of the hospital?

    Used "nearest bases" to make sure I was at the right place then waited until I got the wind check before placing the cargo. Worked fine.

    Solved!

     

    I had painfully to update to 2.5.6 and all worked.

    Btw: You have to look for "Search And Rescue" instead of "SAR". "Sea..." is enough to find the server.

    Nice server with nice missions.

     

    Cheers!

     

    Aaah I'm not on the latest openbeta, that should fix it!

    Newbie trying a rotary encoder project

    Hello everyone, as a newbie to electronics I'd like a sanity check before going and soldering things. Current plan is to solder everything circled in the image, looks correct?

     

    Project will be for 3x ELMA E37 connected to Leo Bodnar breakout board, which is connected to BU0836A.

    Encoders will be used for the GPS, selecting radio frequency, heading dial/autopilot stuff etc.

    First mistake happened already, thought the encoder had 5 pins but it's 6. So more cables are needed :doh:

     

    Get the soldering done, then work out where all the wires go..
