Gaseous, you're right.
Dave, take your wrench and Get busy !!
That is what i decided, remember? it is going in january 2005 and a lot of people find my design very attractive.
I will have a lot of fun doing it, but who knows if it will match my expectations...
Hey , did you think about a gyro ? making an helicopter for 2 minutes hovering is not worth the extra expense... make a gyro and make it ultra-short take off (like degraw's gyrhino)...
Gyros are as (or more) manoeuvrable as an helicopter...
thanks
