Default RE: prerotator

I went the simple route and just put the electric motor right on the head.
After going through all the options with clutch, gears, extra servo for the clutch,
etc., the lightest solution turned out to be a small brushed motor up top.
Lots of current gyrocopters have the pre-rotator on the head, generally a hydraulic
motor where the pump is on the main motor.
