Piston powered rotocopter.

Use VTOL control: ensure screw is turning counter clockwise before going to full power.

I have been anticipating building a flying machine powered by pistons and DaVinci's helicopter was just to good to pass up. If built back in his day about 500 years ago it would have been mechanically powered and I figured a piston to be a good alternative.

Thnx, ProvingMars, for designing the pistons for iOS to make building this rotocopter possible.
