S.S Kitchen Shark Rubber Band Helicopter

This is the S.S Kitchen Shark, it is a rubber band helicopter design I made for my Engineering class and its a interesting and fun as it sounds take a look.

Basla wood, 5 rubber bands, hot glue, paper, 1 plastic straw, Balsa wood propeller, a paper clip and tape.

First attach the propeller to a 5 to 6 inch piece of Balsa wood. Then hot glue a 1 inch piece of balsa wood to the bottom of your 6 inch piece. (The second piece of woods length doesn't matter as long as its long enough to hold the paper clip we are about to put on).

while your glue is drying/cooling take your paper clip and 5 rubber bands and run them through the opening of the paper clip and in which the paper clip acts like a hook (The video shows what to do). Once this is down put the paper clip onto your 1 inch piece of would then use tape to secure it or the clip with come off during flight.

You can honestly make what ever you want for the paper design it helps prevent the copter from spinning out. My design came out looking like a kitchen knife but I wanted to make it look like a WW2 fighter plane with the shark mouth so BOOM BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!!!!

take your straw and cut it so it can fit behind the paper, then tape it down then hot glue the tape and paper to the wood and let that dry. Then boom one tank of a rubber band helicopter.

Just make sure to do it outside if you decide to wind it up all the way or you will chip your ceiling. :p
