Default RE: Fairey Rotodyne again... ;-)

Rick, I wouldn't like to spoil your offering, but a .30 sized swash is WAY small for a rotor this size!

BTW Phillip, I don't know what RC background you have but have you ever designed an autogiro before? I mean, a gyro this big is certainly a big investment in tim, money and efforts. Perhaps it would be a wise idea to make a scaled down model of your "rotodyne" (perhaps using the swashplate Rick offers you) to debug most problems, and then go for the bigger one. Of coruse it can work the first time, if you make a sound design, but it would be a shame to a have a poor flier or crash such a model.
