New Roll Mount/Balanced Pressures

For those that have been tracking with the HoneyBee G2 Project, you have read our  commitment to Total  Quality Management, or TQM....making little improvements ALL THE TIME everywhere we can.  Some times this is for assembly, some times it is a material change, sometimes it is a cosmetic change and sometimes it is not a change, it is an addition. No matter how you look at it, we are always improving what we do in the G2.  The areas we improve come from our flying experience, customer feedback and the brain trust of our engineering staff. When we work on something until we get it right, it makes all the difference in the world; sometimes this is the first try...sometimes it takes more. When it is right, it is right.  If these improvements need to get to customers (no matter where they are at in the world) then we pack them up and ship them out. Jeremy and I are going to Brazil on the 20th of October and are shipping parts there for this very reason.  The original parts worked just fine, but there are a couple of little tweaks that we want to have on their aircraft.  That same thing goes  for all the domestic frames. We believe in and are committed to the G2 experience.....always something new coming and always improving. Always.....

The picture above shows the lower Control Stick Tubes. Jeremy came up with a way to keep the "Pitch Forces" the same while decreasing the "Roll Forces".  With a Right Rotation Prop and normal Rotor Blade rotation, the left force is always heavier than the right stick force. The solution is to harmonize Pitch & Roll pressures and "engineered stick return forces"....leading to complete, hands-off flying!  Piece of cake! Great job Jeremy!

Keeping up the great work together!
