Tutorial Full-metal Hellacopter, OG version: Prototyping & design talk stuff

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So, I'm trying to bring people along on these design journeys because I'd like to share what I know instead of just posting a cool build & that's it. Looking to give people the knowledge (and hopefully some inspiration) to use for their own projects. Hope it helps. 🛠🤙

Full-metal Hellacopter OG early prototype

Performance is average at best; still needs a lot of work.

Thanks, IQH. It's getting there - needs work. I've a few ideas...

Design wise or functionality ?

The descent aspect. Ultimately, the goal is for it to look & behave as much like a helicopter as possible.

That landing was smooth as heck! I like these posts, gives one a lot of insight into the design process.

Very smooth. I'd like for it to be just a little faster. Glad these posts are useful. After all, we're in HyruleEngineering, so we should be expressing all these ideas widely.
