- jcun4128 5y agoProbably wasn't clear above, I'm saying they weren't using a swashplate (most helicopters) they were using this little tiny tab attached to the rotor that could be controlled.

- rkagerer 5y agoOh neat! Thanks for educating me.
- jacquesm 5y agoYes, but that's using an external actuator, rather than weights that pull the blades to their new angle.
