I say we all chip in and bid on it! :p

It was my idea though, so I get the first ride! :D

[IndyRacer27]

Wouldn't be much of a ride unfortunately. It doesn't fly.:( It would still be fun to own though. Good find.

I think we found our new corporate transportation. I know a helicopter mechanic that could get it flight ready...

Someone photoshop a TBCS logo on that bad boy for the front page...

bro wants it, just starting to count the spare change down the sofa!

Ack, that would be a travesty. Sure put the TBCS logo somewhere inside, but defacing the beauty of the original paint job = bad idea imo.

Yeah, I could see that. It does look good.

How about this;

We use the led fan technology on the rotors and only when the thing is in the air could you see the logo from underneath (switch controllable of course for stealth mode).

I am actually surprised at the amount of bids...

You shouldn't put anything on the blades either, they are perfectly balanced, and who knows what would happen if they happen to become unbalanced... :dead:

That's not hard. An LED array with the same number of LED's and same lengths of wires, etc on each rotor will not upset the balance. It will increase rotational inertia (longer time to take off, rotors slow down slower) but not a whole lot.

Couldn't it interfere with the airflow over each blade though? :?

Depends on how the array is designed. if it's in a streamlined enclosure, it will have a lesser effect. Also, miniature LED's (the tiny ones on your motherboard and stuff) in a streamlined array might not even affect the rotors at all, because they're maybe 1mm tall? if that?

It's definately a feasable idea, and kind of cool, but the real issue would be, imo, the helicopter itself blocking the image. It'd look funny.

I think we should spend our money on a helicopter that actually works.

and THEN paint a TCBS logo on it and fly it around.

Who gets to keep it though?

[Quakken]

We send around a sign up sheet, and we all get some days of the year.

Who gets to be the designated flyer?(shot not)

-Raises Hand to who gets to fly- ill read a book on how to fly it!
