Hi all,
If any of you have seen the 8856's rotor, the whole thing is tilted by use

claims to know about real helicopters), it doesn't work that way at all.
Since english is not my first language and I'm far from being a know-it-all
in that field, here's a link to a page that seems to support his statement,
and makes the otherwise cool set 8856 appear just silly.
