Just found this interesting gallery.

Wonderful engineering, isnt it?
Truly :thumbsup:
Never had tried to look into them in full scale, except in the rare chances of seeing them up close and personal in real.
good one
Where are the ball links??? ;D

I think the real ones have a more heavy-duty version of ball links. See this : http://www.b-domke.de/AviationImages/Rotorhead/14966-2.html
Looks like the linkages attach to bearings on each sides rather than the balls.
Hey Gaurav, I was just kidding :D
WOW Guys....these are awesome details.... {:)} never thought of going into the details of the actual birds...!!!
I guess if given a chance to blow-up the parts upto 10 times the size of our 600s and 700s we can build a proper Heli from scratch which we can fly ourselves, wont be that tough for us... :giggle:
On a serious note, being a Junior Pilot and a Airport Engineer (by education) I have flown an actual Cesna (5 hours flight time) and a Piper (7.5 Hours) when I was in the flying school 5 years back. Its very much like our small scale birdies, just that you cannot afford to crash those... ;)
Always wanted to be a Heli Pilot but due to some unforeseen circumstances could not do that, that is where I am catering to my hunger by a RC Heli....
