This is a work-in-progress synchropter I built. However, there's a notable problem with it. It'll take off, hover, pitch forward, accelerate, etc., just fine. However, any attempt at yawing will desynchronize the blades and cause a crash. Would anyone else like to try a hand at fixing this? I've damn near given up. I do suppose one could build a set of physical gears connecting the two blades, mechanically locking them to the same RPM.
