Man-O-Man ……. When it is in your head and you made your sketches ….. then there is a solution. This looks so nice, Johan.The past week and half or so saw the earlier swash plate assembly flying into the dustbin and the build of a new one.
Using both solder and CA didn't yield the results I wanted, worse, BOTH means of attachment resulted in too many parts being permanently attached to one another...
That led to the build of a new swash plate assembly with a slightly adjusted design. This required quite a bit of time, including redo's of some parts (again), but tonight I finished the rough build of the swash plate assy, including the pilot controls.
I now could tentatively fit the assembly to the rotor head and, even if I say so myself, it looks very promising. Still a few more details to add, apply top coats and then assembly time!
(I can't get this picture upright...)
