Re: Helicopter Physics info online anywhere??

[[email protected]]

I didn't see any helicopter info on mrfizzix. Here are a few links
that have a little bit more. However, the FAA helicopter handbook is
probably the most popular.

Oops. I didn't see that. I should have read a little more detail on
the page before posting. It actually covers some basic principles,
but then at the end it goes into how to position the legos to make a
rotor hub. I wonder if they use rubber legos for the elastomeric
bearings?
