I am working a simple and cheap way to make a nice flapping rotor head. I take 1/16 X 12 x 12 balsa laminate the same size birch plywood on the top and bottom using Gorrila glue. Very lite ply when it is dry. The balsa center allows you slice it and add CA hinges!!!!! Too easy! For extra insurance measures....I added 4-40 flat head screws where the CA hinges are glued in. It is very dependable and strong. I have been doing lots of testing....looks great so far. I hope to fly some today if the weather improves.
