Use when discussing Newton’s 2nd or 3rd law.
3rd Law: Helicopter pushes on air, air pushes back on helicopter, causing it to rise.
2nd Law: When helicopter ascends with constant velocity net force on helicopter is not up, or down, but zero.
- Throttle on left hand side of paddle controls up and down motion.
- Forward/backward, and left/right are a little tricky.
- Practice before using in lecture. Helicopter can be recharged via USB (see yellow USB plug). Remote control requires batteries.
Lots of fun!
