Auto Credit Based on MetallicSerpant's Helicopter Rotor and Swashplate WIP

been a few years, but decided to post this for the masses to use, never quite completed the design, just needs a bit of refining would love to see what y'all do with it, I am tempted in the future to make a coaxial rotor version as that would fix some of the issues | Oranges Hinges = parent | Yellow = child | top pistons for collective pitch | lower piston and suspension are there just for show | square rotor/bearing inside sphere the rotating top of the swashplate is connected to | swash plate control/Cyclic hinges inside sphere along the swashplate bearing | vtol for rotor engine throttle | And because why not old account incase anyone recognizes it (https://www.simpleplanes.com/u/serpant)
