Default RE: FP heloCP blades on FP helo

Alright, now I think i'm just getting carried away...

Here is the latest incarnation of my "Variable Pitch, Fixed pitch Micro Helicopter (tm)"

I've utilized components from a CP head I had laying around. Essentially, i've rigged up a way to attach blade grips to the main head, aswell as rooting the original mixer to allow you to set the pitch of each blade individually simply by popping off the ball links and twisted them however times you need to achieve the pitch you want. As for how it'll fly, who knows. I suspect getting it to balance won't be easy. I'll let you know tommorow after I get off work on how it flies. All I know, is that now, my rotorhead is huge compared to it's original design, and probably alot heavier too, hahaha . I don't imagine this will work well, so i've still got my original head set aside just in case .
