After knocking off the two scariest pitches, a little levity was in
order. The next morning I made a little helicopter from part of a Wall
Flower bag, and gave it a test flight. But my design needed a bit of
improvement.
[Pete's, like, a Chemical Engineer, eh? He must've been sick the day they
taught aerodynamic stability. - Tom]
Tom achieved an aerodynamic solution by putting a bit of weight on
the axis of the rotor in the form of a small rock and some red duct tape,
and let it fly!
At this point on the wall, I thought the worst was over. Little did I know
what lay in store.....
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! [DDEL]
Anyway, we've finally drunk enough coffee, so click here to
