Helicopter Scissor Link Design Question
I'm not sure if this belongs here but this seems like the best place to ask,
I'm designing a helicopter and i'm confused about the Scissor link for the lower swashplate. From my understanding the scissor link isn't supposed to have any side to side movement since that would change the pitch of the swashplate. How is this possible if the link isn't perfectly centered to the ball joint? It seems like there would have to be a little left and right movement. Any help, advice, or knowledge is greatly appreciated.
