Hi all RCers,

I fancy trying to build one of these :

http://www.angelfire.com/blues/heli_project/

for a laugh. I only want to buy the rotors (can't really be bothered with trying to build a matched pair), the only thing I can see difficulty with is the swash plate.

The chap has a diagram on his website on how he built his, but its not very clear, and any search on the Internet on how a swash plate works, and is constructed didn't reveal very much. Is there anyone out there who has information like this - it would be good to try and build one as it would seem to be the most technical part of the project (the tail rotor is controlled by a separate motor).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers


(P.S. if I've hijacked the thread, sorry..... )
