1. The lower (small) turntable is there to only transmit the torque to the vertical 13L beam (liftarm) ... correct? If so, why such complicated connection between such turntable and the 13M beam? There was a reason, but it was misguided haha 2. Also, why are you using 2L flextubes on the upper turntable? Might be better to use part 75535 instead ... If that part is available in LDD, I couldn't find it [edit- found it haha] 3. What do the bionicle parts do? Transmit torque/rpm to the top turntable? Correct. Otherwise, the pitch control links take the force... [edit] As long as the swash plate remains centered on the mast, which the scissors should help do, and we keep the rotor RPM to a safe level, I don't think vibration will be an issue. We're not actually trying to make it fly, are we?

No longer static mast; I couldn't figure out a way to keep it static and still be able to drive it. The static mast wasn't very sturdy either. Finally figured out some scissor assemblies- it doesn't look like they should interfere too much. LXF: http://bricksafe.com/files/Raulboy/Apache%20v5%20change%203.lxf

You sure you can't jam it in there with a little force? ;) Haha if that's the only thing wrong with it, I'd be amazed... I'm sure I'll find a way to replace it if I really can't get it in there. The parts on the floor are for quick reference- I pulled out all the parts that I thought might help me solve a puzzle or I would need, so I just have to duplicate them when I need to. Edit: Looking at it, the idea I had for driving the rotor won't work as it sits...Not enough room to miss the non-rotating part =(

Still working on a scissor assembly for it... Can't get the pieces to line up for me, and as of now don't see a way to do a primary and a backup (one on each side), or whether it'll interfere with the movement. Once I get that, the mixing assembly + torque and lateral links figured out (and pneumatic servoactuators if possible haha), the driveshaft and gear train will come.
