Damage model. also: request bug report subforum

Hey guys!

 

I think you should create a bug report subforum so we can post issues we find. :)

 

 

I found one so far. When hitting the ground with the tail it partly sinks into the ground before something bad actually happens.

 

Steps to reproduce:

- Land

- cyclic full aft

- raise collective until nose rises and tail strikes the ground.

Cant seem to find a bug at all. The t/r is covert by the fin and as long as you dont ram your tail into the ground you might have structural damage but the helo might still work properly at all.

that general area of fenestron i have seen is just a fiberglass housing that is use in case of tail strikes..just fiberglass and held on by screws...i've seen them scuffed up before.

The lower fin moves into the ground and out of it again, without being damaged. There should at least be some resistance. Or maybe it should bend or break.

It is just a minor bug, I still wanted to mention it. :)
