Swashplate is the most sophisticated part of a RC helicopter. It seems to be a simple unit of a factory one. However, it is a whole new thing of making one by yourself. Here is my design based on my own little knowledge about the swashplate. What you need includes:
The rod end set has first been cut into a round shape. It is then inserted into the plastic spacer as shown below:
Make sure that the aluminum ball placed in the rod end can be moved freely. 2 holes were drilled on the plastic spacer in order to house two screws that used to hold the ball linkage.

In my design, the swashplate is fixed on the main shaft. This is simply done by applying some glue between the aluminum ball and the shaft

glued together.
My instructions are too confusing? Here is my draft of the swashplate which might help you. I still find that my design is a little bit too complex. If you have a better design, please let me know!
