Hey! You! Out there!

Quick update. I haven't forgotten about it. And, I want to see it fly. I mean. Look at the post from 12/9/2009. The helicopter is right there. How hard can it be, right? Just hop in and take off. The practice is done. The hardware is there.

World Premiere


So far so good. The e-copter is done for now. Next steps? Please vote on the right.

Ready? Or how to buy more time.


The plan for presenting the e-copter is finished. The sketching not so much, obviously. ;-) Well, I don't have too much time these days, but I like where the plan is going and hope that the results will be as good as expected. I also think it's time to get some feedback from you guys as to what the next steps should be. Prepare for web poll number 2.
