Default Would you fly this one?

What's the deal w/ the counter weight? Why not have two blades and use
that dead weight to generate lift?


Believe it or not, every additional blade means a loss of efficiency. One
blade should hover and fly on less HP than two blade. That says nothing for
smoothness, and I would think that setup would be totally unacceptable, for
that one.
