Ask the community (Question about what to do with a helicoptor)

[t4thfavor]

I have a fairly expensive (1kUSD), and extremely crashed RC helicoptor. All the electronics are fine (8 channel FM radio, servos, gyro, etc), and it has a big nitro motor on it.

I like to build things, and I figured that this community could come up with a few creative, and useful things to do with such a piece of hardware.

Parts for the actual heli are unavailable as it is known for being wonky, and crashing alot.

I converted a RC plane that was broken into a RC boat. I used the propeller as a prop in the back, and used the two servo's in unison to control the fin that directed the air from the prop in order to turn the boat left and right. That was a fun project. I think its still in my parents basement somewhere.

I was thinking about building some type of jet boat out of it or something.

Maybe something like one of those sweet catamaran type fiberglass speedboats.

I guess when I stop working 66.6 hours a week, I can start that project :)

Thanks for the reply.

I'm thinking one of those fan boats
