That's blasphemy! Helicopters are good for you!

Anything that flies by chopping up the air and sitting on the pile can't be good.

I was explaining on another forum how I flew on a chopper to a North Sea oil platform the day before it suffered a catastrophic gearbox failure killing 22 people. My dad was in the RAF annd on landing checked the blades of the chopper, found one 20 minutes away from total failure.

I think the thing that holds the blades together is called the Jesus Christ nut.

Helicopters are bad news, just forget the whole idea and reinvent the Harrier Jump Jet instead

If you cut a hole in your seat and eat your beans your could possibly make a cruzbike into a jump jet (maybe a short jump)
