Fully articulated rotor system including lead/lag hinges, dampers, and flapping/coning hinges. Swashplate is again based on simpleplanes physics and designed to be smaller rather than more functional. Startups must be made with a decent amount of throttle to not destroy the rotor system. Post any feedback you want to give for future builds!
