hi travler . i said it would be nice if i got to see sum pics.
but you done better than that you also had a short video.
well comments. looks great. its easy to see you worked from your own ideas.
putting sum thing together as you have done can be hard work . but its flying.
so i can understand how you felt about it.
without using steel and doing welding is harder.
but you want to consider using nuts and bolts . maybe even a tap and die set.
i have done sumthing very similar to you .
the shaft turns inside the bearings .like yours.
prop fitted on the shaft like yours. stater and rotor fitted behind head stock.
again like yours . but i have rotor then stator. but still much the same.
i done that cos if i want to put another rotor on the other side it will be much easer.
your coils look very neat. you done a nice job winding them.
i think the closer the rotor is to the stater the better.
you will lose power with a 1/4" gap.
gaps are more important on a twin rotor.
so as far as i know you want to close that gap up a bit.
so all in all a very good attempt . not using a welder and steel tube.
so where there's a will there's a a way.
dont forget ply wood gets wet and gets heavy.
you got a good imagination when it comes to putting things together.
now you need to think how it will look in six to eight weeks time.
i am almost finished my single rotor mill.
just got to build a pipe tower for it now.
your stater looks good
you got three lugs on it so why the ply disc.
its good to see your thinking about building another.
keep up the good work . will try post a pic of how mines is looking as of today.
its a ill wind that dos no good
