I may sound silly. Since you ask... I am trying to build a helicopter that
will be powered by a pneumatic engine. That is way it needs to be large. I
was stumped at how to make the rotor wings untill I saw your hovercraft. I
made a couple test runs but nothing yet. Maybe someone will get it, one way or
another, by the centenial of flight (Dec. 17, 2003). I have tried with 9v
motors too. I have heard of a Mindstormer who goes by the name "Serious
Damage" who claims to have done it. I can't confirm it, though. The photos
were very unclear. It appeared as though he had it take off in a make shift
vertical tunnel made from boxes. My guess is that this helped to increase its
lift by acting as the tunnel on your hovercraft during take off. Who knows
maybe someone unknown has already done it!
Regards,
Paul
