Helicopter Recovery Gallery

This was my very first copter recovery rocket. I know its a bit heavy but it has worked well for me every time I have tried it. The kids loved it.

Unfortunately, I have no pics with the blades deployed.

Sport or compeititon flying makes very little difference!
Helicopter recovery models have got to be one of the KEWLEST type models flying.
yes they can be a little complicated, some harder to build then others but it really doesn't matter...they are all really fun to watch come back.

I'd have to include Maple seed recovery in this as well. While not nearly as complicated as HD recovery they are still Auto-gyroing down

A couple flight pics just for fun. and two maple seed type helicopter recovery.

Oops! I forgot to post my Whirl-A-While. It was an interesting build that did what it was supposed...on the ground. Up in the air was another story due solely to my build blunders.

It only got one outing but flew 4 times. It was getting better with each flight but did not survive the last.

I take pleasure in presenting my WINNING mini Rotaroc which managed to do pretty well in spite of all my blunders.
