DaVinci Aerial Screw #2
Just a quick couple of videos showing the latest experiments with the second DaVinci Aerial Screw prototype.
This prototype uses a spruce and ply frame around the 3D printed H-Frame of the quadcopter base. The aim was to build a more antique looking aerial screw, which I think the first one achieves very well, but also to ensure it is still flyable. The second video shows the aerial screw spinning much faster, which I don't like, but it is more aerodynamically stable. The key is in balancing the aerial screw, which I've done by balancing it on my finger to find the balance point, and then making the hole for it to spin there.
