Hi Dave,

I'll take a non Lego part only as a last resort, especially with this
project. I think I'll get the Mini-Heli and do some tests. Looks very much
like the propellers I got with my Cox engines some time ago. Gearing two
old-style technic motors up should get me into the 5 digit RPM range (don't
know if they have enough power for that).

Thanks,
Stefan
