Just playing around with Infernal Robotics. Worked out a collective pitch helicopter. Cyclic and antitorque pedals are done with reaction wheels (for now...) The helicopter is stable, with each rotor canceling out the other's rotational torque for the most part. the SAS helps a little. Mods in use for this build - Infernal Robotics, and MechJeb (for the vehicle display so I can see how mass affects things) I'm not sure how the IR settings translate to RPM, but I've discovered that this helicopter can get off the ground with the rotary speed between 15 and 24. 25+ breaks it, under 15 there's not enough speed even with the collective maxed out.
