gontek Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Sure seems to make more sense having the rotors overhead reather than underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airnico Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 hi guys, I agree, it makes more sense to have the rotors overhead, I suspect the platform could go upside down in any moment: actually I would be quite scared being on those machines, do you think they're safe?? at least they're cool, but I don't know if I would go for a ride..... anyway I appreciate very much their efforts.

gontek Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 In terms of stability it's like hanging from a rope in a tree vs riding on a spinning top, or dredel if you will. Not really but close. at least with blades overhead I could bail out and parachute at altitude. You wouldn't want to fall off the first one.
