Hello I've seen the marvelous creation of hovercrafts by Paul Kleniewski ( (URL) ) and that gave me some ideas. Here can you see a simpel construction of an propell that I made. I've not taken any photos yet, but here is one image made in Ldraw: (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) There is a military helicopter with this shaft arrangement in the Russian armed forces. IIRC, the Kirov carrier had some of these choppers at some point in time. Pedro (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) There's a small angle between the two rotor shafts, that's the solution. A clever one, indeed. Fredrik (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Ohh, thanks! Now I see it. I didn't notice the rotors themselves were tilted, I just thought that was the style of the covering around the shaft. I think now I've caught the bug -- I wanna build a Technic helicopter too! But alas, I don't have (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I had a few minutes free time while attending the show, so I took the chance ... Just the time to realize that is a very nice model but that without airtank, even with the two pump, you pump , make a movement, had to pump again before making a (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yes, I agree. However, I'd rather see them with axle holes instead of smooth holes. Regardless, I'm amazed and very happy to see this new set! -TJ (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The shafts of the rotors are angled outwards. Look at the pictures on the general layout page. There's one of the machine looking from the front- you'll notice the shafts are angled. TJ (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

I'm envious that you got to play with this already Marco. I'm certainly buying it. It will be interesting to see what else I can make with that list of parts. 10 pistons is a lot! Kevin (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi Luis - Checked out that page, and the experimental helicopter you have shown seems like an impossible setup. How do the two rotors, the way they are mounted, keep from chopping each other's drive shaft to bits? Even if they're at different (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
