Waspy, my annoyance stemmed from the fact that you seemed to be introducing all sorts of complexity into this. This was why i suggested projecting the 2 rotor system to a 1d line (ie consider only vector compontent along intended line of "flight"). Linear momentum is the newtonian way of stating that the system centroid does not move. Since Ft=MV then the forces will just act to maintain the centroid position.

Your post #64 included the equation, and you also stated in post #80
I have used a simulation (stepping at 0.001s) where the torque is constant at 1 positive 0-π and negative π-2π.
so it was fair to assume you were already integrating over time...

However, all finally resolved. The machine just sits there and shakes.
