AH-1 New rotor head

A lot has been done since the first launch. Me and Leiywen are working separately in terms of tuning. I took some of his advice and implemented here. To differentiate his version and my version, my version is painted white. Here is Leiywen's version:

I also created a version featuring a rigid rotor head, hope you can check it out:

Back Story:
Leiywen built a very beautiful AH-1 model. But there is no programming and the rotor head looked like a joke. Recently, I was experimenting on the helicopter blades and with the motivation from ADORABLE, I decided to build a functional rotor head for this helicopter with the blade I had developed.

The rotor head is a simplified version of Bell rotor head which is inspired by this video by PeterSripol:

The rotor head does not have a swash plate. All the cyclic pitch was controlled electronically. There is no RCS thrusters or any cheat methods on this helicopter. Everything except yaw is controlled with the rotor head. So it is hard to fly. The flapping issue is dealt with so it should be easier to fly.

In conclusion, this is more of a technical demonstration rather than a serious build.
