Oops! I didn't think my post through completely (I think I saw one
other person fail to think a post through completely on this list ...
once ... a long time ago.). You are correct (of course) about the
single locked rotor, Jeff. More succinctly, my idea is a ceiling BUMPER
instead of the typical ceiling WALKER. The concept was to let the
helicopter hit the ceiling, and auto-stop BOTH rotors. The helicopter
drops, reengages the spinning of the rotors, and climbs back up to bump
the ceiling again. And again. And again.

Best,

Marty

"Does my life have meaning?"
Most teachers answer it emphatically:
"Absolutely! YES!"
