Smarter Every Day - Helicopter Physics

[Rattlegun]

Although targeted toward folks with limited, or no experience with rotary wing flight, this bloke has a very decent YouTube channel called Smarter Every Day. In his latest video, he's been kind enough to compile the series-to-date into one convenient playlist, which starts here.

Although the physics may not be perfect (remember the target audience), he does a pretty good job of explaining phenomena which can be difficult to conceptualize, like gyroscopic precession, for instance.

So if you can put up with the (Southern) American accent, and a fair bit of R/C Helicopter action (perhaps due to budgetary constraints?), go ahead and subscribe. It won't cost you anything and he'll be able to continue to make sweet tube vids.
