"Randy,
You might try sewing a Kevlar or carbon fiber thread through the pin holes instead of using finishing nails. This would allow resin to wick along the thread as vacuum is applied and give you the through connection you want. However, you…"

"Joe,
Servo actuation has been shown to be consistently quicker than differential thrust. One of the benefits of using servos in the rotor hub is that you are able to ditch all the mechanical linkages that can be pesky and transition to a "fly by…"

"Sorry, no pics as I didn't pursue the idea to a full build. The cyclic was going to be controlled by the servos that rotated the wing/arms from a vertical to horizontal position. As the rotor rotated the servos would be synchronized to change the…"
"Good to know, Joe. I worked on a related idea several years ago. The intent was to transition from a quadcopter to a flying rotor. Essentially a free rotor (the helicopter equivalent of a flying wing) that would uses the torque and thrust from…"
"Hi Joe, great design. What software did you uses to animate? "
