It seems like english isn't your first language!

Other than that, have you also considered the gyroscopic precession of the rotor-mass? have you also considered that the swash-plate doesn't actually tilt the disc per -se, rather it alters the blade -pitches so the disc tilts itself.

I'm NOT a helicopter engineer, so don't accept the above as gospel. I DO have an interest in R/C model helicopters and suggest that you buy a used 30-90 size, either nitro or electric and you'll have a basic model to study the various features that make these overgrown egg-whisks beat the air into submission.

Models are NOT toys, they can and HAVE decapitated people...treat them with the utmost respect.......learn more on Runryder, the leading model Heli forum.
