Personal Helicopter


Recommended Posts

I wanted to see what the smallest helicopter I could make was. As it turns out, you can make some pretty dang small helicopters.

Jeb here has graciously agreed to test it. Power comes from a single RTG. Control is wholly provided by two reaction wheels, and while there is some clipping involved, it was mostly to avoid having to redo the frame. I'll probably release a clipping-free version later. 

The first, most important question: can it take off?

Yes

 

Next, less important question: Can it land?

Indeed it can! Jeb has survived every test with it, and I can assure you that the helicopter blades did eventually come down. 

Final, most important question: Where can I get me one of these bad boys?
