Great topic. Good suggestions on the rotor head. I, like Steph77, am interested in the mounting of the swashplate. My experience with helicopters has found that the rotor head is simple compared to mounting of the swashplate, as it is hard to isolate the controls for the fore/aft and port/starboard from the collective controls. Each must function independently, and as a unit. Great design, I look forward to more.

I am having some difficulty posting pictures to this topic. Can I post a picture that is hosted on Flickr? -
Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks for a wonderful contest. It was challenging, and allowed for a lot of diversity and creativity. I look forward to the next contest.

Thirdwigg's MOCs

I have added some improvements to the MAN TGS that I submitted to the Triple contest. Being limited to 500 elements limited my creativity, so I decided to add some features. Feel free to see the writeup here, or visit the full gallery here. <iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/zKvsXsUCjcs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> -

I present my entry to the Eurobricks Technic Triple challenge. We are off to the sod farm. Ever wondered how they grew such nice grass on your local golf course or the town square? They probably ordered sod and used machines just like these. The MAN TGS has working doors, steering, and a three part crane. The JCB 150t has working tracks, lifting and tilting forks. The Brouwer 1576 has a working 2 cylinder motor and working steering. The harvesting arm features a high speed cutting blade, and a timed blade that cuts the sod pieces to length, and a conveyor to move the sod up to the back pallet. Finally, the pallet holder can be dropped to let the full sod pallet off the back.

[TRIPLE] gsia17's WIP topic
Thirdwigg replied to gsia17's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I like the design, and I agree about removing the PFs. Sometimes beauty should trump function. So when will people actually post to the voting thread?
