I REALLY dislike the R22, its got some nasty design characteristics,

Neb Okla
Witnesses reported seeing kite string wrapped around the heli.
http://news12.com/LI/topstories/article?id=118790

think that the helicopter would have...

The "Whirl": More Efficient Rotary Craft? by
sanman
Here's something I was reading:
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996380

describes a new style of rotorhub. This hub should offer significant
