While this might be a silly question I am looking for suggestions on how to
crash a fairly large lego model (Helicopter) on a ground surface while
minimizing the risk of breaking pieces.
The goal here is to crash my UH-60 http://www.netpresonic.com/lego/ with full
crew and attached SEAL team and then photo document the wreckage.
These men will die, but for a good cause -- to improve safety features of the
UH-60.
