True. Special attention needs to be paid to the method by which the rotors are mounted, since the gyroscopic loads will feed directly into the internal structure. Only the net forces, as seen by the rest of the world, are low.

Hey, there's always the "eggbeater."

It's frustrating trying to overcome this obstacle; I could use some 'armchair' engineering advice. - Jacob Samorodin - 5/27/2004 3:51:59 PM
