![]() ![]() I still have to put in the ball links for all the control points and refine the lower swashplate (the part below the "donut thingy") to accommodate proper spacing for the ball links, etc. Note that it is still a work in progress. So here is the screenshot of the scale replica I have created in FreeCAD in preparation for making some actual parts. This one actually has the cyclic directly controlling the swashplate and the collective then moves the scissor arm assembly by way of a control collar up and down to add/subtract pitch from the cyclic movement of the links controlling the rotor blades after the swashplate. ![]() The Huey nickname stuck thanks to her early HU-1 designation (it was later redesignated to UH-1 with the normalization of 1962). The Huey has a slightly unique setup in that the Cyclic (directional control) and Collectivie (climb/decent control) are not mixed prior to the swashplate (rotating "donut thingy" that tilts to control the angle of the rotor blades and makes the helicopter move in the desired direction) as in most helicopters. From 1965 to 1973, the Bell UH-1, officially named Iroquois was the most common utility helicopter used in Vietnam. Now it says Windows 8, but I'm actually running Windows 10.Īnyway, I'm working on a scale model RC (remote control) helicopter model of the Huey helicopter and wanted to mimic the mechanisms as closely as possible. ![]()
