Default rotopod?

i have been desinging my own rotopad on autocad but how does it work?

i have everything but the pivit and swivle thingy in the middle figured out.(could i be any more vague?)

my version of the rotopod uses a cone shaped leg holder thats bolted to the base (thing that holds the heli langing gear) loosely so that it can swivle then i use a piece of rubber(or plastic) tubbing as a dampener that allows some cyclic movement

what does the rotopod use? im not trying to steal any information to go into production, i just want to build my own set, ($50 isn't cheap for somthing you use very little after you learn to fly)

you should be at the field or at the simulator practicing, not "wasting" your time designing a rotopod.
get a hoolahup ring and four wood stick, strap it on the landing gear and off you go...
