Migparts Posted August 16, 2024 Posted August 16, 2024 Is there a way to stop this? Does it matter? 74550711058__20ADF133-8BAB-4B3D-B113-5D010BED632C.MOV George
Zentaos Posted August 16, 2024 Posted August 16, 2024 That looks like a crazy bug... Does it happen with all sling load types, or just the fuel tank? I'm pretty sure I heard someone mention in a video that the OH6 model to sling, included with the Vietnam Assets pack, spins, but I haven't encountered any spinning sling loads yet.
Migparts Posted August 16, 2024 Author Posted August 16, 2024 Hi I am not sure - as this fuel tank was the first and only thing I managed to load. At first it had wild pendulum swings that slowly damped and reduced- however later on the spinning increased to this. And I crashed the load and explosively ignited the fuel so I need practiceluckily my chinook wasn’t affected from the inferno. George
HC_Official Posted August 16, 2024 Posted August 16, 2024 i was flying with a box attached to my hind last night and it was spinning at super high RPM , was loling 2 No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .

Migparts Posted August 16, 2024 Author Posted August 16, 2024 (edited) Tried going forward fast and slow, the same spinning is always there. Can't deposit the cargo without damaging it. Edited August 16, 2024 by Migparts George
Ramstein Posted August 17, 2024 Posted August 17, 2024 I try and fly straight, if I go cockeyed a degree or 2 the swaying is there... no sudden movements... forward moment and straight... slow movements... soft movements...

virgo47 Posted February 23 Posted February 23 I have the same problem with this type of cargo (doesn't seem to affect other types) with UH-1H as well. So this seems to be this type of cargo related. I also have trouble putting it on the ground without at least some damage.

flmike911 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 IRL that is the biggest problem with single point slingloads. They will always start spinning or oscillating in one direction or another. We could usually get rid of the oscillations by either entering a shallow turn or increasing power briefly. There is nothing you can do about the spinning. If it gets really bad it will damage the sling leg or cut itself off. The load will spin in one direction until the sling reaches the point where it will not turn anymore, then it starts going in the opposite direction. Kind of wind itself up in on direction and then unwind in the other. It's all about aerodynamics or a lack thereof. Best option is dual point. You can still get some oscillation, but zero spinning. 2

Isn't there a guy on the ground who wants to stop it - ideally just when the torque on the sling rope is 0, that is, when it's spinning fastest, and possibly swinging at the same time? I mean... nobody? Nobody wants to do that?! OK, I get it. It can happen, obviously. It happens to my yo-yo, why not to the cargo. I'm no aerodynamics expert, I can imagine that any asymmetry (or perhaps even symmetry) can lead to this. Does anybody know what they do with it in real life? Single rope sling loading is still done, right?

flmike911 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Yes, single point loads are still done. In school that is the load that new pilots and CE/FE's learn on. There is an entire multiservice manual on how to rig single point slingloads. The lesser aircraft (Blackhawks), single point is the only option with them. One just has to accept that they are going to spin and oscillate. I personally never had one spin to the point that I got too uncomfortable with it. The preferred method is tandem loads, but sometimes that just is not an option. 1
