    does the top rotor turn? cos that would be cool in the wind!
    Plus you will need a huge iceblock stick in the spokes to make it go "thwop thwop"

    Both the main and tail rotor do spin but are far to heavy to move in the wind, plus I haven't machined any aerofoil into them. Just basic timber.
    I just didn't want to have a 160km/h windy day in Newlands and watch the tail rotor spin it's arse off and depart from the fin to fly through the house !!

    Dunno about a huge ice-cream stick but sound effects would be good.
    Did think about setting up speakers in it and have a plug in ghetto with a recording of a Huey to play

    Great stuff there. Yep, a sound system would be good, maybe play the Ride of the Valkyries from "Apocalypse now".

    I love the smell of H3 in the morning...
