Hi everyone,

You won't believe this, i couldn't believe it myself!!!

Anyone out there wants to donate a engineless heli for end-of-year slope soaring at bedok reservoir, that would be singapore's first slope soaring heli, no need to bring glow fuel anymore LEH!!!

Gosh.... the twin rotor pic reminds me of Janga and Ganga... and the other siamess twins...

[AstroBoy]

Hey Nic, don't side track leh! The twins are already separated successfully liao!
I think the heli is definitely auto-rotating forever! Great idea!!!Anybody want to sell a very old used heli without engine???Any heli model will do!!!

[nic]

hehe sorry.

Eh.. Astroboy.. how about:

S.P.H.D?

[AstroBoy]

You mean Simple Plastic Heli Design?
Not bad name tho
I thought to qualify my heli as SPAD, i should just wrap me heli with corroplastic!!!

[nic]

Think you need to make sure it cost < USD20 too?

[AstroBoy]

You're right Nic, but why you always quote in US dollars har? US$20 = S$34, very expensive leh!
You're staring at too many monitor screens in front of you already!
Ok, anyone willing to sell me his "Kosong" heli for S$34 ?????

[nic]

Paiseh.. work environment that way... everything US..... even my watch is set to Pacific Time....

erm... howsit work? or is the engine hidden away???

let the wind blow into the rotors and then let the wind wind it up until very high rpm...then autorotate all the way...

It seems cannot use the normal wood blades as they are too heavy, these guys are using foam blades!!!
