Given these two helicopter designs, which, if any, of them would be more stable?
(No image? 1 is propellers on top, body below, second is body above, propellers below)
Common sense tells that 1 would be more stable, but experience and rocket pendulum falacity shows that both are equally (un-)stable.
Is that really so?
Would the aerodynamics change something in it?
And, is there a proper (i.e. tell-anybody one) explanation why so?
