One question I had about this particular one, I’m not seeing the need for the
red 4 stud link, I didn’t think this application required that much distance
from the truck to the coupler. why not mount the coupler directly on the
embedded rotor blade?

I got the impression that that was what he was aming for, I wasn’t certain that
it would work tho as the coupling could just swing any which way. You could
mount the coupling straight on the rotor arm but it wouldn’t be at Lego™
standard height then.
The renderings are just straight image saves from MLCad, did them at work in
secret (Lego is a bit geek, Lego trains are double geek!)
I might take you up on your offer/challenge to do an FTX page but I’ll have to
do a bit more content.
