Does anyone have information on how the Hirobo Vertol control system works and how it is setup?

It's pretty amazing to see all the mechinacal mixing controls in the Vertol heli. It is
truly a wonder that it all works.

Pitch (foward pitch, aka elevator) is controlled by adding postive collective on the
rear set of blades and by lowering the collective on the front. Yaw control (right
rudder in this case) is done by adding right roll to the front swash plate and left roll to
the rear swash plate.

Those are some great pictures. That helps but it will take some time for to figure out all the interactions. Do you have a close-up of the rotor head with all it's links?

How does it fly? The adv. for the vertol says "realistic flight charisterics". That sounds like there are some limitations.

I suspected that pitch involved some diferential collective front to rear but does it also include pitch input on each rotor disk?

How is the roll input handled? Is it mixed in with the rudder input to control the roll on the rotor disks in unison?

How and where is the collective input mixed with the pitch?

I figure that I have a handle on the Vertol control logic and made up a drawing to show it.
