What I meant by linkage change was something like a helicopter uses for control--I believe it's called a flybar or something like that. You can do whatever you need to to the output of any non-integral gearbox. (See [R49-A])
We we're sure if sliprings were in compliance with rules. Is there anything to back it up that they are? Because that was our number one choice but we needed a backup which was the slack in the wires. Also, could you explain the flybar? I found what it basically is, but why would we need it again?
