As we all know: once you have the various techniques, building
something like a LPP is pretty easy. But well designed kit could be
just the ticket for bringing someone into the "I can do it myself"
range. I think it's a great idea. Hey, maybe we could all be
distributors with a kiosk at the mall at xmas time, like the guy with
those plastic helicopters <G>

Lots of prefab would be great (prop blades, prop hanger, tissue tubes,
wire parts, etc.)

As far as square vs. rounded tips, dihedral vs. tip plates, etc.: I'd
do a little focus group test. Get some novices to assemble the
variations and see which come out best.

I'd guess that a Bank's LPP would have a good success rate.
