Auto Credit Based on Verdnan's Heavy lift coaxial helicopter.
I wanted to build a mechanism that would make a single rotor more flyable. This system works by canceling out the asymmetrical lift by allowing the advancing rotor to hinge upward. This should in theory should reduce its lift and prevent the toilet bowl effect. If you don't believe me try turning it off by setting the hinging blocks from floppy or free spin.
