same swashplate but now the blades are fully articualted. Fully articualtating a head helps dampen the control inputs and transfer the stress of flight more evenly. Semi regid heads are designed for quick inputs in light aircraft (cobra, Huey, pretty much any helicopter w/ skids) where as articulated heads are designed to spread stress and dampen inputs on heavy aircraft (CH-53D, CH-53E, & Sikorsky Skycranes). Interestingly it also changes the phase angle that you must use on your inputs. This is still a work in progress, the next one will get rid of the stable flight vibration. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

Can I use this in a helicopter I might make soon? I'm going to scale it way down so it's small. Credit Will be given
=)@Jabadahut50
need a tail rotor to counteract the powerful spin of the main prop or maybe a second rotor spinning the opposite direction. Also could really use more fuel. Other than that... amazing job.
@Eagle0110 thnx
Wow! Helicopter rotor system stunningly demonstrated!
another convert to the way of the rotor@goboygo1
i have no idea how these work, but they are amazing!
