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])

swash plate? that sounds complicated, but simpler. All they would need is a nylon plate on a hinge and a matching plate on the rotor connected to the claw via a linkage, but that linkage might be tough to design. A cable with a swivel run through a hollow axle would be far simpler.
(note: don't expect that link to work until at least Thursday due to the SOPA blackout on the English language Wikipedia)
