Helicopter Crashes- IRCHA Jamboree- Radio Control Helicopter Competition
Written by admin on March 14, 2010 – 8:18 pm -
IRCHA Jamboree- Radio Control Helicopter Competition The International Radio Controlled Helicopter Association (IRCHA) was founded in 1989 by helicopter pilot Don Chapman. IRCHA is a Special Interest Group (SIG) that represents the interests of helicopter pilots within the AMA. IRCHA hosted its first Jamboree in Dayton, Ohio in 1992. The following year the event was held in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. From 1994 through the year 2000, the Jamboree found a home in Hebron, Ohio which is located outside of the city of Columbus. Following the sale of the property in Hebron, Ron Kummer approached the AMA about using the flying site in Muncie for the Jamboree. The Jamboree immediately followed the helicopter world championships in 2001 and despite the tragedy that occurred that September when the airlines shut down, the Jamboree attracted around 200 pilots. The IRCHA Jamboree has been held at AMA headquarters ever since. This year, aside from the 3D flying (and there was plenty of that!), a pit area and flight station were set aside for scale and vintage helicopter flying. Much to my surprise, this was just to the right of show center. In Peter Wales book on scale helicopter flying he mentions that people get bored with 3D helicopter antics, but if you break out a scale helicopter people will stop what they are doing and watch. This was clearly in evidence as any time one of the larger scale helicopters took to the air the video cameras were rolling and the still cameras (mine …

Written by admin on June 22, 2009 – 2:14 pm -
4 year old Justin Chi http://www.justinchi.com flies his Raptor 50 heli at the 2006 OC Bob Fun-Fly. Alan Szabo Sr. recorded Justin’s stick movements while Alan & Danny watching the flight. This event is the first time that Justin was exposed in public. After his buddy box fligth with Raptor 50, he went back to sim doing fig 8’s for safety. He then started flying at the field again around the end of July. So, he has been flying at the field for about 2 months prior to this video. Please visit Justin’s website at http://www.justinchi.com for more info and HD videos. You can also read about how he got started RC in “Story of Justin Chi”. It is located in “About Me” section of his website.

Why do i need Servos in a RC helicopter?
Written by admin on May 5, 2009 – 12:01 pm -I'm new to RC but is attempting to build a helicopter. I do understand that i need a ESC to control the motors, a ucontroller to output these signals as well as gyros and accelerometers to maintain balance. Where do servos come into the picture? Pls help tks
accelerometer? I never heard of that being in an RC helicopter. Well… it depends on what kind of helicopter you are building. Is it a fixed-pitched helicopter? or not? If not, the servos help tilt the blades so it could create lift and make the helicopter take off. But yea… the Servos help tilt the blades to move the helicopter forward, backward, left and right. It is done by moving something called a swashplate on the helicopter. Fixed pitched helicopters usually require only 2 servos, but pitched helicopter require 3-4. 3 for the main and sometimes 1 for the tail rotor if the helicopter is a belt driven helicopter. As in it runs on 1 motor instead of 2. I think its better for you to buy a RC helicopter first before attempting to build one.
