A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant! A simple thank you would have been enough for the morning coffee without all that "how did you get in here" nonsense.

Has anyone ever made (I am just thinking out loud of one idea I have been pandering) making a coaxial BUT!!!!! With the upper disc having shorter and wider blades and if needed extra pitch to equal out the torque? Just for making the height a bit less between the two sets of blades. Shorter blades flex less.

I wish I had an area close to me that was large enough to play with this thing close to the ground. I would have to trailer it 42 miles one way for a safe area. I've had it off the ground and that was spooky at first.

why has no one ever come out with a production ultralight-ish contra rotating single seat heli. I saw the russian one..but none for sale
Something like this benry?
QH 50's little brother RON 1 by Gyrodyne of Flower field New York.... ASK helicopters bought it as a salvage sale and sold it to these guys who market as their 'new' idea
I bought my Mouse rotor blades from them long ago - Gyrodyne is now into commercial real estate

Again, why isnt one of these commercially viable? Is it because they cant auto rotate? I know you said some contras can some cant. This should be the shit of brought to market the right way.

Coaxil helicopters suffer from - higher cost X2 main rotor systems - and control reversal in yaw during autorotation
(QH 50 & RON 1 had no issues in yaw - servo drag flaps for yaw)
