Helicopter update.

Helicopter update.
Your finished helicopter must look like the picture, the wings are shipped pre shaped, to increase the angle of attack on the wing place the wings in a steamer for a few minutes and twist to the shape as shown in the picture, note the rotation as well remember fast BP is needed with some titanium for effect.
now in the shop ;)

They are lolly pop sticks I have hundreds of the things you need to get a fair twist on them but they work well, I have found .75mm PETE plastic sheet cut 20mm X 110 mm to work very well, the flex in the wing creates some dihedral on power up and the flight is near vertical, I twist the wing over a heat source.
An empty liquid washing capsule container is ideal for cutting wings but not so environmentally friendly.

I must say having had my tooling for a few months. They are great fun and everyone seems to enjoy them, more than anything else.
