RC helicopter liftoff

Post by deleted-161032 »

Hi,

I am doing a project that I found on your website. It is called Helicopter Liftoff. I am trying to do the weight variation option. My question is, "How does increasing the weight of a hovering helicopter affect the rpms of its blades?". What small weights would be the best to use with this project?

Thanks in advance,
quickstorm22 :D :mrgreen:

Coins or paper clips are easy to find and use small weights.
