Now, while the airbus is done, Iam into something "bigger"

my kitchen scale says on both 13g. I try to find my fine scale and will check this.

Yes, this is my expierience. It should work, and only on high angles jumping off. When you are not sure about it and when your order isn't on route to the printers you can cancel it and order the new revision which i have uploaded 90 minutes ago. Btw, i found a solution to lower the main rotor by 3 studs more.

Seems we have an Airbus down Edit @steph77 @nerdsforprez today i received my V3 swashplate. In my V2 the towballs were 5,9mm in size, on V3 and your ordered V4 the towballs are 5.8mm in diameter. With lego pushrods they seem to have a little slack. It will work, but i will change the size back to 4.9. please note it will probably doesn't have an effect on your order.

not on my set

The Single plane swashplate is this one: https://www.shapeways.com/product/6KGA3H9RA/swashplate-v4-for-5-blades please let me know how it turns out.

this is the previous design, not the single plane. The single plane i have to upload first.

Sure, it needs only a few klicks https://www.shapeways.com/product/4UX438LAX/swashplate-v3-for-5-blades here is the single plane swashplate, but maybe the possible angle is limited.

My own swashplate is only two studs in height. Still not perfect, it is a good compromise but i will try to make it in one plane. i guess you talk about this animation.

with the 3l Pushrods one stud lower should be possible, but then the rotor would probably collide with the cover. btw

Sure 1.) Changed nearly the complete linkeage for cyclic and collective Pitch. Now it can stand in the same speed forward and backward This was a side effect of lowering the mechanism. 2.) The rotor is lowered by two studs. 3.) Modified linkage between the landing gear. The original one had a big collision with the new pitch control. 4.) Smaller and more flat front cover. 5.) Modified winch to make it less bulky. 6.) Longer sidepods.

Now it is real The covers are still able to move. the instruction is on rebrickable

My mod is divided into steps, but there is not yet made the Page design. edit; found a bug in the instruction Edit: Fixed https://bricksafe.com/files/efferman/42145/42145_mod_instruction_fix.io

A replacement for the disks?

I will make it available this weekend. The advantages are: 2,3 and 6 blades are possible and it is one stud less in height.

A new connector piece. Not only for rotorheads.

Because the swashplate and the rotorhead of 42145 are only working with 5 Blades....

it was in the bag of the rotor blades.

Edit: raised the tail and now it looks a little bit like airwolf

Much better in my opinion.

I guess it was worth to lower the mechanics

They act like before the changes. To much slack, i hope my deeper changes will solve this.

The mechanics are lowered and a lower cover is possible.

To make it lower is the big plan, but first i have the control mechanics more compact in the front.
