Smile The Whopper Flopper Chopper

Four 60 inch rotors (10 foot rotor cone diameter, sans dihedral)
Rocket is 38.5 inches tall at launch, flies on E9-4 engine (ignore the narrator, it's not an E9-6).
Kind of a beast for a helicopter at 330 grams with engine.

3 successful launches (no failures, minimal damage on flight 3)

Videos aren't great but best I could come up with so far.

First video at end shows descent at altiture, 3rd one shows landing. 2nd one just shows another great boost. (but hey, I'm not biased! )

Neat project. Best part is hearing the sense of accomplishment in the first video.
