    Cameron, I've been watching your videos for years. In that time, I've flown everything from a R22 through a S61. I feel immensely sated in my hands-on career, but I love the science behind helicopters, how the rotors act in flight and how they're created. Thank you for continuing to push content that big companies hide, so we get to see how it's all made from the ground up.

      Cheers. I think the "Big companies" would be horrified. :-)

    Your work and vids motivate me Thanks for taking the risks and sharing your experiences particularly in seeing the progression on the rotors and learnings

    Looks like you've got the construction process sorted.
    What sort of testing will you be doing? Looking good mate.👍

      Hi John, I'm going to cut this one up and see how the wetting out process has gone. Also, I have a 100T pulling ram that I'm going to stretch the shit out of it. I think my Mitsi' van may come in handy for a static load test as well.

    cool....did not know you can get 209 hardener, whats its pot life....

    • @CameronCarter1
      @CameronCarter1  4 года назад

      Yeah, some shops don't like to stock it because of it's shelf life and most people prefer faster curing times. I'm not sure of the pot like, but it stays "sticky" for around three hours if it's not too warm.

    Hi! Can you please tell me what kind of material you used to build your rotor blade? Nice setup you have to build your rotor blade. BTW nice video.

    • @CameronCarter1
      @CameronCarter1  3 года назад

      E Glass and epoxy resin. Still working on the setup and procedure.

    Hello, what is your country, where will these auto-giro or helicopter parts be used?

    • @CameronCarter1
      @CameronCarter1  9 месяцев назад

      New Zealand. I was trying to develop a system to easily make composite rotors. But nothing like that is easy. I may revisit one day. Cheers.

    Do you have a video of how you built the mold and an update on your latest blade?

    • @CameronCarter1
      @CameronCarter1  2 года назад +1

      The mold is just folded metal trays hinged at the leading edge, filled with concrete and a layer of epoxy grout. there is a pipe running through each to heat with water. I haven't done anything lately, too easily distracted. I need to work on a simpler method for setting up the root end. Cheers.

    Is this a special type of mold? On a hinge?

    • @CameronCarter1
      @CameronCarter1  3 года назад

      Yeah, It's a clam shell, hinged at the leading edge. It creates more problems than it solves, but I'll get there :-)

    No disrespect but is it cheaper to buy ready made blades?

    • @CameronCarter1
      @CameronCarter1  4 года назад +7

      Yes. it depends on how much spare time you have. I have just destroyed the mold again trying to remove trial blade #4. I think I've almost perfected the process, but all up including the tooling and testing the rotors are not going to be cheap. Each blade takes about 5 hours labor (not including extruding the lead balance weight) and about NZ$300 in materials. It's one of those challenges that make me more determined on every failure. :-)
