What about the Interleaving configuration?
The Landgraf H-2, or a modified version, has got to be a lot easier to build than the X2.

The Real Deal;
OTHER: Helicopter - Outside - Interleaving - Landgraf ~ H-4


Low Cost Starter Kit ;
OTHER: Helicopter - Inside - Interleaving - Rubber-Band Powered Model

How about this:

"Unfortunately, testing of the V-12 started with a disastrous heavy landing and the Mil team experienced major stability difficulties with the two remaining prototypes. The performance of the V-12 never matched that of Mil's other large trans-port helicopters and it was eventually abandoned. "

PTKay,

Yes. The V-12 is just barely interleaving. The blade overlap is 8 feet. It is the only other Interleaving, which I have ever come across.

Do you think that it might be a little too big for the weekend homebuilder?
