Well it's been 1 year since I wrote the message below. I have yet to
crash this helicopter out of pure laziness. The SEALs have completed
several missions and the pilots of the UH-60 (lego) Blackhawk are

Well I have moved. I'm now living in a two story house and the
stair case is now affording me the opportunity to load up the
seal team, and crew and send them to their death. Hurdling them

The impact surface is tile. Hard but smooth - not as brutal
as a concrete impact.
I think if a few pieces break, well they break. Money can
replace most material items in this world right?

| Well, gee, I personally wouldn't risk such a thing. Once I build something, I rarely break apart my creation voluntarily, and creations that are lost I often regret about, from such memories as the first line of mechs I made, to the giant lumbering (...)

| 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.
