Starting with the Mikrokopter

BR Here is the introduction to MK as translated fromBR http://www.mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/MikroKopterEinstieg BR BR IntroductionBR This page will provide a quick survey of the MikroKopter (MK).BR BR MikroKopter HistoryBR On 24.10.2006 by Holger Buss and Ingo Busker launched emerged very quickly a large town MikroKopter pilots. As early as mid-2007, the MikroKopter floated steadily as an air nail or agile as a small swallow through the air.BR BR The first year as video document including first flight BR BR In a short time, other components were added. So it is now possible to do semi-autonomous flights. The MikroKopter does tolerate enough burden for a camera, for example, or more sensors. For pilots, the sporty MK has enough agility to fly loops.BR BR MikroKopter - Brief overview While reading are certainly some questions arise. The fastest will follow her for a response encounter:BR BR The FAQ read BR BR Looking at the Forum BR BR After the buildings look MikroKopter BR BR At the Forum create a thread BR In IRC simple questions. BR BR BR Mikrokopter Why? BR ->Why MikroKopter member of the community? This question is not easy to answer. There are many projects that deal with Quadrokoptern. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages. A plus point is certainly the great support from the large fan community. It tries to give each newcomer as much as possible to help. Maybe we should also ask: Why not? BR BR BR Something theory BR It is often asked how can a Quadrokopter ever fly? In fact, the really quite simple. BR BR There are two different Quadrokoptern the rotor run. The front and the rear propeller always run around right (clockwise), the left and the right propeller revolve around the left (opposite the clockwise). To have to be able to float, must be equal to all four rotors rotate quickly. This raises the torque along the vertical axis through the different directions of rotation and the Quadrokopter is in the air. BR BR Now, in a direction to be able to fly, the Kopter virtually out of balance. At the opposite direction of flight, the propeller speed increases, so that the Kopter into the flight direction tends. By now closed airflow propeller flies in that direction. Example: When is the next flight Drehzal rear propeller. The Vor-/Rückwärtsbewegung "nod" or Nick movement. Right and left is called a "roll". BR BR Turning a Kopters around its own axis is known as the "yaw". For this movement, the torque to the axle changed. This is done by the speed of change always two opposing propellers. For a clockwise rotation, the speed of the left and the right propeller increased, while the front and rear lowered. For a turn in the opposite direction is therefore the opposite. BR BR For a stable flight will be a settlement. This arrangement provides the first that the Mikrokopter stay in the air. It processes the sensor data and calculated that the activation of the motors. First and foremost is similar situation change by external factors (such as wind). The scheme is in the software MikroKopters.BR
