Have there been any mainstream (or not) heli designs that don't involve a burn string *or* split into two tethered pieces? I'm envisioning something where the ejection charge shifts either the motor mount backwards, or the nose assembly forwards, just enough to release hooks that hold down the rotors.
My interest is purely for purposes of (a) cool mechanism, and (b) something that requires the absolute minimum flight prep. Not competition or anything like that. Seems like it should be possible, but I haven't put pen to paper yet. Wondering if anyone has done something like this.
