I have always wanted to fly a scale heli - such as an Apache, Cobra, or Blackhawk - but I just don't have the tools or materials for it, unfortunately. I'm very much the MacGuyver-type and like working with materials around the house as much as possible. Beyond the "fun" and "challenge" factors, it's also cheaper that way. Once I work out the kinks in my tail mod, I'll start looking at my plastic soda bottles for inspiration (they're as close to polystyrene that I've got).

Heliko, K94max, thanks for brainstorms - I'll definitely explore both options!

As for the video, although it's more stable than my previous revisions, there's still a bit of left-drift that I'm fighting. When I find that sweet spot and get it into a stable hover, I'll get some video up for sure.
