    It's like flying DNA. Remember you share 50% of yours with bananas.

    I always applaud the insane. And some people wanted a double helix... Well I made my own and I didn't know when to stop...

    Very cool to look at. Tough to fly (turn) but I love the ambition.

    Ahhhhhh my eyes! They can't take the coolness! Dam, this is great. I did try and make a double helix plane a while ago, but gave up, so not only is this truly inspired, but a great build as it won't have been easy. Nice job man.

    Really really cool. Doesn't fly that well. Dont even care - its so pretty. Could you build one with 2 spirals side by side - counter-rotating?

    This is cool man, I like the way it moves a lot. This definitely worked better than I thought it was going to when I started it up. Good build.
