Rotor Heads
I get many requests for information on how to build some of the more expensive items, such as the Rotor Head. If you are interesting in trying to build a head, and have the required machining skills to do the job right, try the Wobbly Flyers web site! Here you will find complete drawings for two styles of rotor head, both of which look good, as well as lots of other useful information. You can also download a Wobbly Flyer's Head #2 PDF drawing package (10 sheets) that I prepared from the Wobbly Flyers documentation. If you are not sure about your skills, do yourself a favor and buy a head!
