Abstract

The mechanical flight trainer has a skid attachment axle that undertakes the main task of flight movements. The helicopter skids are attached to this axle by skid holders. The helicopter is controlled safely in all flight axes. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) optional measurement, test, adjustment and mounting aids (B) and trainer parameters.

Description

short version

Around Model helicopter is able to fly an extensive amount of flight hours required. So far it only possible with awkward auxiliary racks in conjunction with the remote control - or the remote control alone - fly to practice. This leads to Malfunctions with significant damage or total loss Models. Parameter settings on the model are complex and time consuming. One more way Learning to fly can be done on the PC using simulators.

objective

With my new mechanical flight trainer for model helicopters is the Fly learning of model helicopters - as described in 2. - a Many times easier while avoiding expensive crash costs become. Through a measuring, testing, Adjustment and assembly help should be parameter settings on the model without big ones Effort and as fast as possible respectively. Reduce time-consuming flight movements to a minimum. Control error when practicing beginners minimize. The simulation on the PC is supposed to be done by my flight trainer partially replaced or supplemented with the real model.

Troubleshooting

basis For this Flight Trainer is a standing on the ground frame with a top-directed telescopic tube. On this is horizontal a profile beam. Attached to a platform with attached U-rails. These at the same time adjustable U-rails have long holes to the Recording div. Model helicopters serve. A skid mounting axle takes over the main task of the flight movements. On this axis, the Helicopter runners secured and held by a skid holder. The helicopter can thus safely controlled over all flight axes can be.

Optional measuring, testing, adjustment and assembly aid

With This flight trainer can - by attachable optional measuring and safety plate - all adjustment and adjustments are made. By holding the platform this can be used for mounting aid.

field of use

Of the Invention is based on the object, beginners, advanced and Professionals in flight exercises with model helicopters to prevent them from falling and damage. Adjustment adjustments u. Allow mounting assistance without making any dangerous test flights. With this flight trainer - training rack - is the possibility created both indoors as well as outdoor flying exercises to do without the helicopter - at Malfunctions - too to damage or in the worst case, destroy the model.

The Settings of all parameters are user friendly and in the Simplicity of mechanical designs unequaled today.

Function:

At the skids of the respective model helicopter is behind the center of gravity the rotor axis transverse to a connecting tube.

helicopter with runners and connecting pipe is placed on the platform and in both slot U-rails lateral. above pushed the connecting tube.

This Connecting tube is used for fixing and mounting in the flight trainer. The helicopter can - remote controlled - within the adjustment ranges in hover to the left u. move right - roll movement -, after tilt forward and back - Nick movement -, after top u. hovering below - hovering -.

By the 360 ° rotation possibility The platform becomes tail rotor controls specifically possible.

The Adjustability to the platform is possible in width. height adjustment in the slot guides by means of adjusting screws.

In addition, can with powerful helicopter drive over the buoyancy of the telescopic tube be pulled out. Thus, the hovering over the slot guides increased.

Supplement possibility:

Over a externally controlled pneumatics or hydraulics as well as servomotors can be done the extension of the telescopic tube while the helicopter drive relieve.

Same control as mentioned is intended for the platform. This allows the lateral - part 5 / 6 - Aluminum U-rail with slot omitted. For model attachment are only one to max. two retaining screws / clamps required.

Optional measuring, testing, adjustment and assembly aid

Locking device - Clamping screw -

Function:

Measuring, testing, adjusting & measuring Mounting aid - part 10 - is in the aluminum profile beam - part 4 - the trainer seitl. inserted and fastened with the clamping and locking screw. Through the heights. u. Longitudinal adjustment is an adaptation to the respective model helicopter possible.

By means of fixing pin - part 8th - The helicopter is held in rotation, so that the following settings can be made.

About the bracket - guide part 12 - A felt-tip pen is gently guided onto the rotating rotor. If the rotor blade run is uneven, the felt-tip pen will leave a mark on the upper blade. The model pilot immediately recognizes which rotor blade has to be adjusted and readjusted. Thus, a quick and safe sheet adjustment is possible.

Via an optical / mechanical measuring device located on the viewing panel - part 13 - Can the rotor blade adjustment - z. b + 12 ° to -12 ° or similar.

Into the device holder - part 14 - is clamped with a clamping screw of the tachometer. A simple and safe reading of the speed is made possible. Despite the rotor rotation, the engine can safely - side. past the sight plate - via the carburetor needle. In addition, within the lateral U-guides - part 5 / 6 - a model lift possible - test runs - and the carburetor can be optimally adapted to fly. Time-consuming flight movements and control errors as mentioned above are reduced to a minimum.

In the same device recording - part 14 - Can be clamped an infrared temperature meter for detecting the engine temperature.

With the clamp u. Set screws - part 15 - can the sight plate - part 10 - adapted in height and width to different helicopters.

The skid mounting axle - part 16 - takes over the main task of the aircraft movements. On this axis, the helicopter runners by means of runners - part 17 - attached and held. The helicopter can thus be controlled safely over all flight axes.

With a lock - part 18 - The helicopter platform can be held in height and in the 360 ° range in any position. The trainer can therefore also be used as an assembly aid.
