EM-64 Heavy Rotor is kinda wobbly

[KerrMü]

Hi guys.

I´ve been tinkering with a swashplate rotorhead design today and with low speeds it looked promising. But at higher revolutions hefty oscillations started to occur. I tried to figure out where those were coming from for a few hours. Then I reverse engineered the whole thing bit by bit to find out that the EM-64 was the wobbly part. I´ve build quite a few test stands. 

Here is a pic of one of them. (to the right the rotorhead so far)

Test stand: Everything is built with symmetry mode and attached to nodes. If the I-beams are surface attached to the rotor the effect gets worse. The Girder Segment to the front left in the pic is rocking and weaving quite hard in this experiment.

Maybe there is a slight symmetry issue with the EM-64?

I know, this isn´t exactly in the scope of the game, but nontheless I wanted to ask if there is anything you could do about that. Seems quite a lot of players are building choppers at the moment  . Should I write a bug support, and if yes, could you send me a link to the Breaking Ground bug tracker?

Apart from that I´m having a blast with the DLC and haven´t found any major issues yet.                                          Thanks, Mü

Do you have a video?

Not yet. I´ll make one quick. (might take a bit till it´s online. my upload speed is terrible) I´ll post the link here when I´m done. Thx for the quick reply.

Edit: @nestor

Ok, vid should be up now. Sry, took some time. I had to re download all the recording and editing stuff. Not making vids very often. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also abandoned the heavy rotor on my helo designs because of wobble/oscillation, but I figured it was putting out too much torque...

Maybe you're right
