Question 21

How does the Collective Stick work?

Answer 21

The Collective stick changes the angle of all four blades at the same time increasing or decreasing lift. It is attached to the flight control rods inside the broom closet then linked to the torque shafts that lead into the boost servo and the mixer. This moves the primary servos forward or aft which moves the pitch control rods up or down which then changes the angle of the blades allowing for increased or decreased lift.

Question 22

How does the Cyclic Stick work?

Answer 22

The Cyclic stick changes the pitch of the swash plate which changes the angle of one blade at a time allowing the aircraft to roll left, right, pitch up or pitch down. It is attached to the flight control rods inside the broom closet then linked to the torque shafts that lead into the boost servo and the mixer. This moves the primary servos forward or aft which changes the angle of the swash plate and the pitch control rods. As the blades are rotated around each blade is angles up or down changing the angle of the aircraft allowing for it to roll or pitch nose up or nose down depending on the position of the cyclic stick.

Question 23

How do the Rudder Pedals work?

Answer 23

The Rudder pedals changes the angle of the tail paddles which controls heading. They are attached to the flight control links that move the boost servo. The servo is then linked to the tail rotor cables which move the tail rotor servo. This changes the angle of the tail paddles allowing for a change in heading, nose left or nose right.
