Well actually the blades are really light + flexible and it's connected by only
2 studs.  That part will come off quickly and since it's at the top of the
craft (assuming a belly or nose impact) should fly off almost intact.

(...) Wow, that's a very impressive helicopter. As far as crashing it without breaking anything, could you remove the main rotor first, that's probably the most vulnerable? George (26 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
