A challenge for you: there is another russian chopper with two slightly
angled rotor axis(es?), side by side, in a way where both rotors' planes
intercept. Would you try to build that design *and make it work*? You've
managed to do such a great job this time (and all your mecha are equally
cool), I can't help thinking what you'd do with that different (and very
difficult) design.

Hey thanks, but do you have a link? I couldn't find anything that reembled
what you were talking about. Cool suggestion though,

No, sorry Geordan. I think I may have a clue, though: apparently they have
been used in the Russian Carrier, and in a big vessel which I think is
classified as battleship (the last in history, according to a book I have).
I don't have any more reference than that. The only time I saw some diagrams
for that chopper was a long time ago, in a bookstore, and I did not buy the
book then :-(
Maybe if you e-mail a military aircraft magazine they can give you some help.

Sorry I took so long to answer. I don't usually read .military.

Good luck in the quest for the missing chopper!

thanks Pedro! (...) Thanks, (...) Well they spin, and they can spin in different directions, but I didn't get them on seperate exles, so they can't spin the same way as the real thing, and they aren't motorized either. :-( (...)
