Stewart Russell`s "Spin Cycle" - (DC Gyro)
56" rotor,  .40 power

Note the clean lines of Stewart`s model .	Close up view of the direct control head, and two bladed mechanically flapping hub system.

Obviously Stewart spent some time developing this particular model... I know he was beginning with a very different rotor (two blade teeter), and finished with an efficient 2 axis flapping system.   It incorporates an elevon requirement and uses 3 standard servos.   Look close at the head and you will notice that each blade has adjustable incidence bolts.  Weighing 5 ½ lbs., it has a respectable rotor load of aproximately 5 # per sq. inch.
