(...) D'oh! But I can still say at least mine didn't have any modified parts ;) (...) Actually, the swash plates on a chinook are a bit simpler - they only require collective and roll control, pitch is handled by differential collective on the 2 (...) (19 years ago, 23-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one to have tackled this problem. As soon as I bought an 8856 helicopter (URL) I thought "That's not how a real helicopter works" and began thinking how to do it properly. This was the main reason I sent TLG (...) (19 years ago, 23-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

Here's my MOC of an Apache helicopter, built to 1:20 scale, compatible with Technic figures. (URL) features the first ever fully working Lego helicopter rotor with collective and differential rotor blade pitch control. (URL) The rotor blades are (...)

(...) I suspect it's bad design. Perhaps the way the brushes rub on the PCB as pointed out by Philo ((URL) "This higher friction explains why 43362 stops faster when you give the shaft a twirl, and why its no-load current is higher (9mA vs. 3.5mA)".

(...) I sent Nathanael Kuipers an email regarding the motors and asked him to forward it to the proper person. Do you think it is excessive torque, excessive use, or just a bad piece design that causes this problem? Nathan (19 years ago, 21-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
