This study describes the control mechanism of a VTOL UAV cyclocopter. The cycloidal blades system (CBS), which is a thrust system of cyclocopter is composed of several blades rotating about a horizontal axis. To generate the required thrust, the pitch angles of the blades are periodically oscillated by a pitch control mechanism. And it can change both the magnitude and the direction of the thrust almost instantly. For the thrust control mechanism of the cyclocopter, the mathematical model is derived, and the control forces to control the magnitude and direction of the thrust are determined. In addition, it is designed and developed by radio-controlled actuators.
