The Flightless Copter


After a week of diligence and assistance from Muhammad Mubasit, I have managed to construct a miniature helicopter. It was made from materials of various shapes and sizes. It features a motor that enables the propellers to rotate at a steady speed. It is powered by 4 AA batteries. However, it does not fly due to the many holes and limited power output from the motor.
The bottom of the helicopter was created first. Then followed the motor, the top, and the blades, in that order. The motors were last to be attached to the model. The most difficult part of this small project was tightening the minuscule screws.
I certainly learned the importance of patience while creating this helicopter. I had originally expected to finish it in a day but later realized the improbability of that idea. I call it... The Flightless Copter!
