Looking at it again, I can see your point. I think it is the cockpit that is giving it the "thrown together" vibe, and that seems to be what you were going for. I like the use of the JP helo as a tail.

LOL. that was using what was handy. I do not have many pre-made helicopter tail rotors.

Define spare, not sure what you are trying to say.


I think the word here is *sparse*.

Sparse: present only in small amounts : less than necessary or normal; especially : thinly covering an area : not thick or full

I take it that it is thick in places and thin in others.



I thought about possibility that he meant sparse but still wanted clarification on what exactly he was critiquing. Dont mind the critique but would like to know what exactly he was trying to say.


Sorry, I missed this:

Spare: adj - with no excess fat; thin. e.g. "a spare, bearded figure"

It sort of looks like a flying scaffold. While it does look like it would structurally hold together, it seems to lack some of the surfaces needed to allow it to fly more than very small differences or hover in place.

I think as a crane for a single airbase that moves things around it works, but I couldn't imagine something with that little body surface being able to fly long distances with any stability.

Even this has a little body work around it to make it a little more flyable. I think when the wind caught the catwalk area or started breezing through the uncovered fron t area, it would have some significant trouble staying stable.

But we're talking G.I. Joe here, and so creative license with the rules of physics is pretty commonplace. :-)

I admittedly am not an Aeronautical engineer. I am not positive your assumption about the stability is correct but it may be. Thank goodness it is a toy. LOL

I actually question the viability of the rotor more then I would question the integrity of the body. In theory I think the rotor would work but I question it because I have never seen one made like it, but it was what I had to work with. So it is what it is LOL
