The Lonestar experimental kit helicopter was originly designed and developed in the early 1990's before going through a number of layout changes. Refinements took it from tricycle landing gear with a standard swash plate system and all belt drive to its final version of typical skid landing gear, belt and chain drive along with the innovative through shaft cyclic swash plate control system.
The through shaft cyclic swash plate control system while resembling the current Mosquito Ultralight Kit Helicopter
Mosquito AIR and XE Ultralight Helicopter, was developed long before it.
The benefits of this kind of control system for the rotorblades directional control can be seen in the inherint stability of similar designs such as the Angel CH7 Kit Helicopter
Angel CH7 Kit Helicopter and the previously mentioned Mosquito ultralight helicopter. The Lonestar factory was completely lost during floods in the mid 1990's and thus a magnificent little design that was well ahead of its time never had a chance to fully evolve.
Presented here are 100's of PDF pages of useful information containing the complete flight manual with all assembly, run up, weight and balance information. The information package even has the partial machinists drawings for manufacturing various areas of the helicopter including the through shaft swash plate system and main rotor shaft. Please note, the information pack contains only the partial manuafacturing drawings although enough information is provided for the Helicopter experimenter to work with and build their own design. With this manual you have enough information to develop and design your own homebuilt helicopter either directly based on the Lonestar series or your own original design.
You will also find this information pack contains more valuable content than many other so called complete plans sets from other helicopter "specialist" companies. We have included a high resolution photo file with many technical presentations of the mechanical set up of the Lonestar kit helicopter to assist you in understanding the function of this smart little homebuilt helicopter design. Step by step assembly instruction, hardware lists, material types and many other subjects are covered. An invaluable resource for anyone wishing to build their own personal helicopter.
