[NSRCA-discussion] Serious Torque on the Nose of the Model - RESUBMITTED

Thu Dec 6 04:41:19 AKST 2012

Charlie the Falcon V2 props should weigh in less than 50 grams. 72 grams is more like the V1 Falcons.
 I should know I have a lot of them!

I was using a APC 20.5 X 12WE prop. I had previously used a Falcon V2 21 X
14. I had flown with the Falcon a couple of times. I used the APC after
noticing the Falcon had delaminated on the leading edge. The difference in
weight was substantial - the Falcon prop weighed 72g vs. the APC was around
120g (I never weighed it but immediately noticed the difference). The
difference in the rotating mass (the propeller disc) produced greater
rotational forces. If you can imagine a small gyroscope spinning in your
hand, when you move it perpendicular to its rotating axis, you get a force
that is at a right angle to the axis. This is the force that the fuselage
must absorb. When I powered up and increased the roll rate for the turn to
downwind, the structure failed. I had seen several WindS Pro's fly with
Q80's nose mounted with no rear brace. There were no problems that I heard
of. When it failed on me, I had an ahah moment and should have known better.
I have written an article for the K Factor.

The Q80 has a large?diameter?rotating mass, and it brings with it a large
reactionary force called gyroscopic precession when it is spinning. ?In
laymen terms it will strongly resist changing direction in yaw or pitch. ?A
rear brace would help keep this force in check.?

Charlie was spot on with his comment on torque, but there are two torque
vectors at work, the first is the obvious force required to turn the prop
and the "equal but opposite" torque the motor transmits to it's mount. If
that was all we had to worry about, the single mount would probably be fine.
But there is the other torque (gyroscopic precession) ?resulting from
attempting to move a rotating mass in the pitch or yaw axis. ?Here is a good
youtube video demonstrating the effect . .. . ?

I don't know what caused Charlie's failure, we've discussed possibilities -
obviously forces occurred that were beyond what the structure could handle.

Torque & precession have been with us since we stuck engines & props on the
front of airplanes. They really haven't changed much with the advent of E
power - actually went down with the use of lighter props.

I'd just like to offer that the Hacker Q80 design doesn't change much. The
rotating outer member (Q80-14) weighs about 100g and rotates up to 7K rpm
with an 1 1/2" radius. The rotor in a C50 also weighs around 100g, but it
rotates up to 40K rpm on a 3/8" radius. The latter, with the gearbox, can
probably apply torque quicker than the outie. Most other popular outrunners
fall somewhere between these. (Be neat if someone actually made the calcs.)

I've lots of flights with the Q80-11 without issue (the Q80-14 is less
powerful). It is firmly front mounted with also a solid rear mount. I think
we all know the importance of a nose ring on a YS and there's been no
success running inrunners without a rear support. While some have had
success running the Q without a rear support (bet the prop was light), these
things really need a more sturdy rear support (or very stout front mnt /
fuse nose) than may be obvious.

Essentially something slightly different that adds to the learning curve,
hopefully Charlie's experience and these discussions will prevent further
occurrences.

I don't know what caused Charlie's failure, we've 
discussed possibilities - obviously forces occurred that were beyond what
the 
structure could handle.
?
Torque & precession have been with us since we stuck 
engines & props on the front of airplanes. They really haven't changed much 
with the advent of E power - actually went down with the use of lighter 
props.
?
I'd just like to offer that the Hacker Q80 design doesn't 
change much. The rotating outer member (Q80-14) weighs about 100g?and 
rotates up to 7K rpm with an 1 1/2" radius. The rotor in a C50 also weighs 
around 100g, but it rotates up to 40K rpm on a 3/8" radius. The latter, with
the 
gearbox, can probably apply torque quicker than the outie. Most other
popular 
outrunners fall somewhere between these. (Be neat if someone actually made
the 
calcs.)
?
I've lots of flights with the Q80-11 without issue (the 
Q80-14 is less powerful). It is firmly front mounted with also a solid rear 
mount. I think we all know the importance of a nose ring on a YS and there's

been no success running inrunners without a rear support. While some have
had 
success running the Q without a rear support (bet the prop was light), these

things really need a more sturdy rear support (or very stout front mnt /
fuse 
nose) than may be obvious.
?
Essentially something slightly different that adds to the 
learning curve, hopefully Charlie's experience and these discussions will 
prevent further occurrences.
?

Early in the electric transition, many of us found out the hard way that 
nose mounted outrunners without a rear support would lead to structural 
failures with nearly 100% certainty.  My nose mounted Genesis lasted 1 
1/2 flights before failure.  Others had many more flights but even the 
best cases I know of had nose structure stresses and cracking due to the 
unsupported nose mounting.  Jerry Budd and I did a lot of testing and 
posting about this issue back in 2006 or 2007.  Newer designs have 
reinforced noses which help but bottom line, don't nose mount an 
electric motor without rear support. It "might" last 1 or 500 flights 
but 501 won't be as successful.

I agree with Chris. I've personally had thousands of flights with nose
mounted motors with rear supports and never had so much as a hint of
failure. If you count all the flights I've seen Andrew fly with his nose
mounted, rear supported motors as well as countless others at the practice
field and on the contest trail, the number probably reaches into the tens of
thousands. 

The only time I've ever witnessed a catastrophic motor induced fuselage
failure was while I was judging an FAI pilot flying an Axi-equipped Smaragd
a few years back. Following a turnaround, there was a short, deep, rumbling
sound that sounded a little like flutter with heavy bass followed by the
departure of the motor and a significant section of the nose of the fuse.
The motor was nose mounted and had no rear support. 

My best guess, and it is just a guess,  was that the prop arc coupled with
the forces of the looping turnaround, set up a harmonic, or flutter if you
will, that the fuse couldn't contain. The rumble was very brief before it
came apart. 

I have no engineering data to report, just practical experience. A nose
mounted motor without a rear support is a disaster about to happen. As Chris
said, it's just a matter of when.

power - actually went down with the use of lighter props.

I'd just like to offer that the Hacker Q80 design doesn't change much. The
rotating outer member (Q80-14) weighs about 100g and rotates up to 7K rpm
with an 1 1/2" radius. The rotor in a C50 also weighs around 100g, but it
rotates up to 40K rpm on a 3/8" radius. The latter, with the gearbox, can
probably apply torque quicker than the outie. Most other popular outrunners
fall somewhere between these. (Be neat if someone actually made the calcs.)

I've lots of flights with the Q80-11 without issue (the Q80-14 is less
powerful). It is firmly front mounted with also a solid rear mount. I think
we all know the importance of a nose ring on a YS and there's been no
success running inrunners without a rear support. While some have had
success running the Q without a rear support (bet the prop was light), these
things really need a more sturdy rear support (or very stout front mnt /
fuse nose) than may be obvious.

Essentially something slightly different that adds to the learning curve,
hopefully Charlie's experience and these discussions will prevent further
occurrences.

Charlie was spot on with his comment on torque, but there are two torque
vectors at work, the first is the obvious force required to turn the prop
and the "equal but opposite" torque the motor transmits to it's mount. If
that was all we had to worry about, the single mount would probably be fine.
But there is the other torque (gyroscopic precession)  resulting from
attempting to move a rotating mass in the pitch or yaw axis.  Here is a good
youtube video demonstrating the effect . .. .

The Q80 has a large diameter rotating mass, and it brings with it a large
reactionary force called gyroscopic precession when it is spinning.  In
laymen terms it will strongly resist changing direction in yaw or pitch.  A
rear brace would help keep this force in check.

As somebody who is trying to get back into Pattern and those like me that
have Zero experience with high power electric setups, is there an article or
a something posted that we can reference?

Maybe something on the NSRCA Website that can be accessed by all under Tips

I agree with Chris. I?ve personally had thousands of flights with nose
mounted motors with rear supports and never had so much as a hint of
failure. If you count all the flights I?ve seen Andrew fly with his nose
mounted, rear supported motors as well as countless others at the practice
field and on the contest trail, the number probably reaches into the tens of
thousands. 
?
The only time I?ve ever witnessed a catastrophic motor induced fuselage
failure was while I was judging an FAI pilot flying an Axi-equipped Smaragd
a few years back. Following a turnaround, there was a short, deep, rumbling
sound that sounded a little like flutter with heavy bass followed by the
departure of the motor and a significant section of the nose of the fuse.
The motor was nose mounted and had no rear support. 
?
My best guess, and it is just a guess, ?was that the prop arc coupled with
the forces of the looping turnaround, set up a harmonic, or flutter if you
will, that the fuse couldn?t contain. The rumble was very brief before it
came apart. 
?
I have no engineering data to report, just practical experience. A nose
mounted motor without a rear support is a disaster about to happen. As Chris
said, it?s just a matter of when.

Early in the electric transition, many of us found out the hard way that
nose mounted outrunners without a rear support would lead to structural
failures with nearly 100% certainty.? My nose mounted Genesis lasted 1 1/2
flights before failure.? Others had many more flights but even the best
cases I know of had nose structure stresses and cracking due to the
unsupported nose mounting.? Jerry Budd and I did a lot of testing and
posting about this issue back in 2006 or 2007.? Newer designs have
reinforced noses which help but bottom line, don't nose mount an electric
motor without rear support. It "might" last 1 or 500 flights but 501 won't
be as successful.

Larry,

A rear mounted outrunner (on a firewall) or a nose mounted outrunner or 
inrunner with rear support are all safe ways to go. Find your budget and 
get suggestions of combos that are currently ( that's funny) in use and 
are successful and copy the working setup EXACTLY.  99.99% of problems 
from new electric guys are when they start experimenting or want to try 
something different - don't. Just copy what works and you will have 
success, and please don't rely on the many faceless experts on RCU etc.  
Guys on this thread like Earl and Verne and Mike have tons of experience 
and can lead you to a working setup from day 1.

Electric is not that difficult at all but you need to learn a new 
language and that takes a while so rely on any good teacher here on the 
list.

Larry,

I think what must of us have done is to copy what was successful for someone
else. There are lots of build articles on RC Universe in the pattern and
electric pattern forums. Pick a plane, pick a motor, or some combination of
the two and read. To my knowledge, there?s no single source point of
information. Once you?ve narrowed down your choice, inquire right here and
I?m sure you?ll get all the info you want or need.

I agree with Chris. I?ve personally had thousands of flights with nose
mounted motors with rear supports and never had so much as a hint of
failure. If you count all the flights I?ve seen Andrew fly with his nose
mounted, rear supported motors as well as countless others at the practice
field and on the contest trail, the number probably reaches into the tens of
thousands. 

The only time I?ve ever witnessed a catastrophic motor induced fuselage
failure was while I was judging an FAI pilot flying an Axi-equipped Smaragd
a few years back. Following a turnaround, there was a short, deep, rumbling
sound that sounded a little like flutter with heavy bass followed by the
departure of the motor and a significant section of the nose of the fuse.
The motor was nose mounted and had no rear support. 

My best guess, and it is just a guess,  was that the prop arc coupled with
the forces of the looping turnaround, set up a harmonic, or flutter if you
will, that the fuse couldn?t contain. The rumble was very brief before it
came apart. 

I have no engineering data to report, just practical experience. A nose
mounted motor without a rear support is a disaster about to happen. As Chris
said, it?s just a matter of when.

Early in the electric transition, many of us found out the hard way that
nose mounted outrunners without a rear support would lead to structural
failures with nearly 100% certainty.  My nose mounted Genesis lasted 1 1/2
flights before failure.  Others had many more flights but even the best
cases I know of had nose structure stresses and cracking due to the
unsupported nose mounting.  Jerry Budd and I did a lot of testing and
posting about this issue back in 2006 or 2007.  Newer designs have
reinforced noses which help but bottom line, don't nose mount an electric
motor without rear support. It "might" last 1 or 500 flights but 501 won't
be as successful.

I don't know what caused Charlie's failure, we've discussed possibilities -
obviously forces occurred that were beyond what the structure could handle.

Torque & precession have been with us since we stuck engines & props on the
front of airplanes. They really haven't changed much with the advent of E
power - actually went down with the use of lighter props.

I'd just like to offer that the Hacker Q80 design doesn't change much. The
rotating outer member (Q80-14) weighs about 100g and rotates up to 7K rpm
with an 1 1/2" radius. The rotor in a C50 also weighs around 100g, but it
rotates up to 40K rpm on a 3/8" radius. The latter, with the gearbox, can
probably apply torque quicker than the outie. Most other popular outrunners
fall somewhere between these. (Be neat if someone actually made the calcs.)

I've lots of flights with the Q80-11 without issue (the Q80-14 is less
powerful). It is firmly front mounted with also a solid rear mount. I think
we all know the importance of a nose ring on a YS and there's been no
success running inrunners without a rear support. While some have had
success running the Q without a rear support (bet the prop was light), these
things really need a more sturdy rear support (or very stout front mnt /
fuse nose) than may be obvious.

Essentially something slightly different that adds to the learning curve,
hopefully Charlie's experience and these discussions will prevent further
occurrences.

Charlie was spot on with his comment on torque, but there are two torque
vectors at work, the first is the obvious force required to turn the prop
and the "equal but opposite" torque the motor transmits to it's mount. If
that was all we had to worry about, the single mount would probably be fine.
But there is the other torque (gyroscopic precession)  resulting from
attempting to move a rotating mass in the pitch or yaw axis.  Here is a good
youtube video demonstrating the effect . .. .

The Q80 has a large diameter rotating mass, and it brings with it a large
reactionary force called gyroscopic precession when it is spinning.  In
laymen terms it will strongly resist changing direction in yaw or pitch.  A
rear brace would help keep this force in check.

There's an old thread on RCU starting on page 37 that discusses this in
length

I think it's a violent warble much like a shimmy in a loose?front tire when
you hit a certain speed (been there done that a long time ago in a 56 Ford
station wagon)?or a flutter in an aileron. Once the harmonic is set into
action it's steps up in intensity exponentially.
?I've thought in the past that thin floopy long props contribute to the
problem because they can go into a dynamic inbalance.. I think stiff props
work better.
?But if you read the thread the smart people shot me down. 
?Bottom line...... support the rear of a front mount.

Larry,
I think what must of us have done is to copy what was successful for someone
else. There are lots of build articles on RC Universe in the pattern and
electric pattern forums. Pick a plane, pick a motor, or some combination of
the two and read. To my knowledge, there?s no single source point of
information. Once you?ve narrowed down your choice, inquire right here and
I?m sure you?ll get all the info you want or need.

I agree with Chris. I?ve personally had thousands of flights with nose
mounted motors with rear supports and never had so much as a hint of
failure. If you count all the flights I?ve seen Andrew fly with his nose
mounted, rear supported motors as well as countless others at the practice
field and on the contest trail, the number probably reaches into the tens of
thousands. 
?
The only time I?ve ever witnessed a catastrophic motor induced fuselage
failure was while I was judging an FAI pilot flying an Axi-equipped Smaragd
a few years back. Following a turnaround, there was a short, deep, rumbling
sound that sounded a little like flutter with heavy bass followed by the
departure of the motor and a significant section of the nose of the fuse.
The motor was nose mounted and had no rear support. 
?
My best guess, and it is just a guess, ?was that the prop arc coupled with
the forces of the looping turnaround, set up a harmonic, or flutter if you
will, that the fuse couldn?t contain. The rumble was very brief before it
came apart. 
?
I have no engineering data to report, just practical experience. A nose
mounted motor without a rear support is a disaster about to happen. As Chris
said, it?s just a matter of when.

Early in the electric transition, many of us found out the hard way that
nose mounted outrunners without a rear support would lead to structural
failures with nearly 100% certainty.? My nose mounted Genesis lasted 1 1/2
flights before failure.? Others had many more flights but even the best
cases I know of had nose structure stresses and cracking due to the
unsupported nose mounting.? Jerry Budd and I did a lot of testing and
posting about this issue back in 2006 or 2007.? Newer designs have
reinforced noses which help but bottom line, don't nose mount an electric
motor without rear support. It "might" last 1 or 500 flights but 501 won't
be as successful.
