CyberCopter is an electric helicopter that is
made in Hong Kong by: Aero Model Design Ltd.(
AMD).
The size of this helicopter is absolutely
unbelievable since it is the world’s smallest
aluminum alloy made 3D electric helicopter until
now. Having a fairly same size as the FEDA and
thunderbird, CyberCopter is a perfect indoor
flying 3D electric helicopter with ultimate
performance.
Different from the Familiar FEDA and
thunderbird, the airfoil blades of the
CyberCopter can be rotated variably. In other
word, it is not only able to fly in three
dimensional way — flying reversibly, but be also
able to make a lot of shifting and moving due to
its CCPM structural conditions. Beside, the tail
rotor of CyberCopter is designed differently
comparing to the one of FEDA and thunderbird
rotating by using a single independent motor.
Instead, the tail blade obtains the torque
through the transmission shaft from the main
motor gear. The rudder is controlled by a servo which adjusts the angle of the tail blade.
Meanwhile, a gyro is installed and integrated
with the rudder servo in order to balance the
throttle torque and stability of the rudder
motion.
The accessories and parts of the CyberCopter are
similar to that of other gasoline-fueled
helicopter. More or less, CyberCopter is
classified as Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF)
kit. It only comes with the necessary parts and
several tiny components. After getting the
CyberCopter, player should decide their own
radio controller, gyro, 4 micro
servos, electronics speed controller as well as
battery and charger. After installing those
electronics devices such as servos, gyro,
receiver and ESC on to the main body, the final
assembly is as simple as fasten the tail ready
part into the main body. Nevertheless, we would
recommend that beginner should get assistance from
experienced heli-flyer during the assembly
process. With no doubt, beginner could learn
more in deep about the actual mechanism of
flying helicopter. Obviously, the simple
assembly work allows flyer to concentrate on
flying and enjoying fun while their counterparts
suffer from setting up those complicated gas
fueled helicopter. CyberCopter can even earn
more advantages from its sensitivity motion and
it can fly indoors simply and safely.
II: CyberCopter's special
features
CyberCopter is featured a sophisticated CCPM
structure and it allows the variation of
propeller offset from negative to positive. In
other words, CyberCopter can perform a 3D
motion. In both theory and practice, it can even
fly upside down like those gas fueled
helicopter. Therefore, CyberCopter is a total
solution for both beginner and experienced
heli-flyer who want to enjoy fun with no hassle.
The small size also break limit of space while
we are living in the city. CyberCopter can even
fly inside a house, office, garden etc.
CyberCopter is powered by electric power motor
with a 11.4V Lithium battery. It will not
generate as much noise as those gas engine
choppers and minimize the effect of sound
pollution.

The size of CyberCopter is outrageously tiny and
assembly precisely. The above picture shows the
super tiny electric helicopter with a alloy 3D

helicopter, nobody can resist having fun on
flying it!

The transmission of tail blade
CyberCopter
(Two spare gears are also included)
|
|
The torque transmission from main gear to tail
blade is achieved by Two 45 degrees gear set. It
allows transmission of motion to shift motion
axle to 90 degree.

Using ”CCPM” mixing mode
|
|
The CyberCopter is employing “CCPM” mixing mode
as its motion control system. The word of “CCPM”
stands for Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing and it
offers the user a control system that accomplish
the same control inputs as the one servo
standard system, but with increased precision
and reduced complexity.
CCPM system utilizes three servos for the three
main controls: Aileron, elevator, and
collective. The three servos are powered
independently, but they work to each other in
order to achieve a specific motion. If in case,
an aileron input is given, all three servos
cooperate to adjust the swash plate fore and
aft. For collective, the servos will force the
swash plate up and down the main rotor shaft.
With two or three servos working at the same
time during any given control input, servo
torque is maximized and servo centering is also
increased. In addition to these benefits, CCPM
achieves these control response only require
lesser control rods and parts to setup.
III, The importants of Assembling
Although CyberCopter is all preset, user still
needed to assembly certain components. There are
couples of experience to share with, in order to
make the assembling process better off. Be
aware! Never put on the main rotor blade before
neither completing the assembling nor the flying
rehearsal.
-
Precaution of installing tail boom.
It has to be close enough but not too tight or
it will make a great rotating resistant.
However, it cannot be loosened or the gear
will easily drift or even wear out.
-
Screw should be tightening.
Due to the standardization working process,
the factory cannot ensure the accuracy of
every single component. All the screw and nail
should be carefully checked before the flight,
especially the one that will be mounted on the
main blade, the body as well as the rest of
the components and accessories.
-
Tuning and balancing the rotor blade.
The blades are not tightening by the time out
of the factory for the package reason. After
getting the helicopter, please keep it
horizontally, and balance the length of the
both sides of blade before the blade is
tightened firmly.
-
Assembling of gyro. The
reserved space of gyro is very precise. The
size of the space is 22.8mm×9.5mm. In other
words, the space can only be fitted in by the
gyro that has this exact size. The gyro of
Himark MC-50BB 9g cannot be installed since it
is oversize. The PICO servo of GWS is highly
recommended as it can be perfectly fitted in.
Plus, the price is more economical and the
performance is outstanding.
-
Tail blade modification. It
is controlled by the tail pitch which is
placed in a tiny crust. Since the original
screw in package is pretty much smaller, it is
still required to take a risk of getting out
during the flight as a matter of fact. In
spite of everything, the problem can be easily
resolved by putting a widened metal bearing
underneath the screw head
-
The connection order of gyro and
receiver. The gyro connection of the
"CCPM" mixing mode is different from the one
of "machine control" mode. If you have got an
CyberCopter, please turn to page 12. The
diagram in that page cardefully shows the
connection of gyro and the receiver; the left
pitch to the sixth path, the right aileron to
the first path; the front elevator gyro to the
second path, then adjusting the type of mode
to "CCPM" on the XX. Never connect the XX
during the adjustment in order to get rid of
the chance that inappropriate rotating spot is
harming the gyro. For more detail of the
"CCPM" mixing mode remote radio controller,
please refer to page 11 of the user menu.
-
Alternative connection. The
third path of the receiver is connected to the
speed controller. The speed controller is
variable, 20A or above speed controller. The
following item are highly recommended. A high
current ESC such as Jeti or Feigo Electronics
Speed Controller is suitable for the throttle
control. So the receiver is not necessary to
connect the battery individually. By the time
of the battery is connected to the speed
controller, the conduct wire of the speed
controller and the receiver is able to provide
power to receiver. So the receiver should not
be connected to the battery separately. Before
the flying rehearsal, checking the rotating
direction of the motor as well as connecting
the power out of the wire of the speed
controller to the motor is necessary. The
forth path should be connected to the XXX and
the line out of it connects to the gyro. It is
advised to employ GWSXPG03 for the role of
gyro. Certainly, it is better if FUTABA GY240,
401 or any better gyro could be used.

Even though the CyberCopter has such variable
features and literally good performance, we have
to remind you that there still are certain
difficulties assembling and tuning this kind of
“CCPM” helicopter. Thus, it is better to
manipulate it along with expertise. |
