Hmmmm .. hate to say this, but this project is shelfed until I can get more
legos

I'll take pictures of what I have so far, and then post a few to give it scale
...
I'll post my website when I get it done ...

Oh, and by the way, you have seen these large Technic helicopters,
right?

I haven't run across these before ... thanks for the links.  They're
pretty
cool.


And Leo Dorst's helicopter rotor is a good inspiration as well:

I'm planning to use an adaptation of this design for my model.

I also plan on motorizing the model, though, I fear that it might
overpower
a single motor.  What would be really nice, would be to have a switch that

would sweep a voltage over a range ...

+ ...... 0 ...... -  (so full + would be +9 volts, 0 would be 0 volts
(duh) and
- would be -9 volts.  And in halfway between + and 0 would be +4.5 volts,
etc.  That way you could have a tail rotor that would have a fixed pitch,
and
vary the voltage to control your yaw)
