Notice How Many Stick Combinations Does It Take To Fly 3d Helicopter In All Orientations

smakmeharder · Jul 3, 2014

Ok here is one for the mathematicians. Assuming the helicopter can be put in many different positions while flying ie... flying forward, flying backward, flying on an angle, tick stock, sideways tick tocks. upside down in all orientations etc... How do we calculate how many stick combinations we have to know in order to fly all these maneuvers? Can this be calculated? If so how?

there are so many pathways for sure, and it's the transition from one address to the next for the desired response. Crazy. I might have more of a think about this problem and see if I can get a better, more measured handle on this

Yes Please! I would love some sort of definitive answer that we could use to form a base calculation to potentially measure difficulty of maneuvers and just flying in general. I know there are K ratings for 3dFX but this I believe this may be opinion based as I cannot find any standard for measuring maneuver difficulty.

It really blows my mind, when you think of it we need to have the ability to respond with any 8192 stick positions to control any helicopter position at any point in time. That is crazy! No wonder learning to fly is so hard!

I remember when i was learning and trying to do figure 8s in my small backyard with my blade 400. I had to focus that hard it felt like I just sat for a difficult an exam once after puting through say 3 packs. Now i know why.. With that many combinations, the neurons were carving many new paths - so it is actually mentally exhausting when you are learning. For me that became part of the addiction!

I know exactly what you mean there mate i get mad headaches after a day of learning new stuff or trying to perfect menouvers with helis yet I can smack the shiz out of a 3d plank all day long and im fine

Flying helis can be mentally exausting for sure

That's why it's good to have a can or 2 at the end of a awesome days flying bar is open Heli is in one piece time to talk shiz with great mates

I just fly the fracking thing ..

Do you realize that some how your brain is making all those calculations in real time? Thats why @3dmick we need alcohol to suppress all that brain activity and kill a few brain cells! Otherwise our brains would become too big from all that mental stimulation and our heads would fall off our shoulders!

A very tricky question, at least I thought so at first, I thought it was some crazy integral in Riemann space, but it is really just the sum of the stick positions,
My radio has a resolution of 2^11, so the possible stick combinations is just PSC=4 x 2^11 =8192 possible stick combinations (with my radio). And that will make your heli do anything.

Awesome work!

I think our brain processes this in it's integral form, not all the possible stick combinatioon form
