unclejacko Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 I"m looking to add a collective to my pit and am looking for some good step by steps plans. I used to have a collective make from pvc connected to a throttle but I find the sensitivity on that varies and I keep having to adjust it. So I'd like to build one using better sensors then a old throttle. I've build basic projects before, but prefer a good step by step guide is possible.
Sokol1_br Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 The most interesting system for collective that I see around is this from Avia-sim.ru: http://avia-sim.ru/forum/download/file.php?id=7130 Although looks "Ka-50" the grip twist for throttle in other DCS heli. To retain the collective in position a kind of brake with multi-disks: This pin release the spring pressure over disk to allow move the lever: A "low tech" interpretation of the same system: http://avia-sim.ru/forum/download/file.php?id=4823 http://avia-sim.ru/forum/download/file.php?id=4829 http://avia-sim.ru/forum/download/file.php?id=4831 Related topic: http://avia-sim.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=630&start=645

f4l0 Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 I'm also looking into building my own (universal) collective. Most complicated thing seems to be the friction system... f4l0 Developer of Simshaker for Aviators Feel the brrrrttt: [Official] SimShaker for Aviators Forums thread at ED forums SimShaker for Aviators (simshaker-for-aviators.github.io)
Mt5_Roie Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Any details on how to mount a hall sensor in one? I'd be interested in that. Coder - Oculus Rift Guy - Court Jester
Sokol1_br Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 It's the twist grip I can't figure out how to do. Look how is done in the above model: http://avia-sim.ru/forum/download/file.php?id=6539 http://avia-sim.ru/forum/download/file.php?id=6538 http://avia-sim.ru/forum/download/file.php?id=6540 In this model the "button box" dont turn with the throttle, if want that turn no need the front bearing. Any details on how to mount a hall sensor in one? I'd be interested in that. The sensor is in this small PCB placed in frnt the magnet that turn with collective lever movement. http://avia-sim.ru/forum/download/file.php?id=7690
