I know some bloody good helicopter engineers, but Ive never met one yet who understood Ikea instructions. I wonder how many bits he had left over

The space would be appreciated, to fly one of those little indoor helicopters.
At least they picked the best ever machine to model

Wooden helos
I actually met an elderly gent who had flown a Bell 47 with wooden blades back in the 1950s. He told me you had to be careful of if the machine was left out overnight if there was a dew. Actually the problem wasn't the dew it was if one blade got the morning sun before the other. The shaded balde held more mositure producing a very bad vibration.

I'm only slightly too young to have flown the Sycamore, which had wonderful wooden blades.
Hand-finished (so very like a Morgan) and they had washout, taper and varying cross-section, a fantastic achievement before GRP......
