Hi,

I didn't realize that the response was so slow in our flapping blade design until I flew the swashplate control. Once you get into the delta head with all the parts, I'm not sure there is that much difference in total parts count and or much difference in cost. For sure much less weight, due to the feather servos and mounting brackets.

I'll probably regret saying this, but I haven't had a crash since using the pre-rotator. It really improved the odds of getting the gyro in the air. Most of my crashes were on take off due to a cross wind or slow rotor speed. Also, I seem to have lots of tip overs on landing, for one reason or another. Ground handling is much improved in windy conditions with the swashplate and I've flown in very windy conditions and I taxi on and off the runway and haven't had a tip over yet.[&o] I really hated to say that!! Yes, and I do have a wider running gear.

Mickey, what is the motor down thrust and rotor mast tilt back in the G3PO?
