RC Multi-Rotors

RC Multi-Rotors have been a breath of fresh air also look at, Remote Control Robots in the tried and tested RC helicopter market. For almost as long as RC helicopters have been around, these RC Multi-Rotors have been doing the rounds of the testing labs. For all purposes, these models are exactly the same as a regular helicopter model, however the number of rotors that are used to raise, lower and control the aircraft are a lot more than a regular helicopter.

RC Multi-Rotors come in various shapes and sizes and the most popular format amongst them, of the RC Quadcopter, is becoming almost as popular as a regular RC helicopter model. There are certain characteristics amongst these RC multi-rotors that are common to all and here is a look at what it takes to make a great RC multi-rotor model.

Basic Features checkout, Underwater Digital Camera of RC Multi-Rotors
Helicopters are models that come with two rotors - one at the top and the other at the tail. look at, RC Trucks The concept of involving more than two rotors makes the overall mechanism a lot more complicated than it usually is. In the average helicopter, the main top-rotor is used as the big rotor for all kinds of actions - thrust, movement, lift, etc. The tail look at, Amateur Astronomy rotor is just a means of keeping the helicopter straight - all it does is provide a counter-balancing force to keep the helicopter straight. However, RC multi-rotors completely remove the tail-rotor concept and bring in only multiple top-rotors to give you the same flying experience.

Since there are more than just one rotor involved in producing thrust, movement, lift, etc. the workload can be shared and, therefore, the rotors can be smaller, in RC Multi-Rotors, as compared to that of regular RC helicopters. The concept of counter-balance needed to keep the model from rotating on its vertical axis is provided by the opposing rotors of these RC Multi-Rotors. So, the rotors that are diagonally opposite to each other rotate in opposing directions to ensure that everything remains straight.

As a result, manufacturers also look at, How to pan for Gold have been able to add anything between three and eight-rotors to radio controlled models to make them stay up and do your bidding. That has, however, led to something of a compromise in terms of the overall shape of the aircraft. RC multi-rotors are not very aerodynamic and are definitely not built for speed. They are designed to be stable and because of their wider shapes, can be coerced into accommodating other additional equipment such as cameras why not visit, Making Porcelain Dolls and other data- or information-gathering devices.

That has become the primary role of most RC Multi-Rotors available today. Used in a variety of research as well as in recreational information checkout, RC Quadcopter GoPro gathering, these models are really picking up pace as compared to RC helicopters, mainly for the stability and controlled hovering ability that they provide. If you are interested in moving away from RC helicopters and trying to find something different within the same line of RC models, then RC Multi-Rotors is the way to go.

Understanding How RC Multi-Rotors Work
The basic concept of an RC helicopter involves a couple of rotors where the main, bigger, rotor provides the overall power also see, RC Fast Cars and thrust, while the second, tail, also look at, Home Improvement Guide rotor is the stabilizer. So, while the first rotor does all the work, the second one just prevents the helicopter from spinning on its vertical axis. In the case of RC Multi-Rotors, there is no tail-rotor. Instead, the top-rotors have to do everything from providing the thrust, lift and motion to providing stability.

How this is done is that the opposing rotors rotate in the same direction, but each pair of opposing rotors rotates in the opposite direction as compared to the other pair(s). That means, you don't really need any stabilizing rotor as such because the main rotors work together to provide that equal and opposite force that keeps your model stable. Also, because there are a lot more rotors working to provide thrust and lift, you don't really need very big rotors. This also makes these models more interesting in terms of the shape they have.

The most interesting thing about RC Multi-Rotors has to be their shape. With a wider body that has extended-arms onto which the rotors are attached, RC Multi-Rotors are wider in shape and have a cockpit or capsule in the middle, onto which all the arms are attached. The main cockpit has all the control surfaces and servos, also giving you a large enough space to pile on additional attachments like cameras , Wood Carving and Whittling or microphones or other data-recording devices.

RC Multi-Rotors is usually the name given to anything that has more than 2-rotors, although helicopters would also, technically, fall why not visit, Robosapien V2 under this category. However, helicopters are excluded and only a model that has more than two-main rotors is included within. Due to the requirement of an equal and opposing force, the number of rotors is generally an even number, like 4 or 6 or 8, with each rotors sitting directly opposite another similar rotor.
