HUGHES MD - 500 (flyable pullcopter) ExternalsFor launching the MD-500, you need to make the “Overpowered Heli Launcher” before: PrintingsettingsPrint as light as possible. I used 2 perimeter, 0.2mm layerheight and 10% infill on the helicopter body.For the Rotor use Arachne in the slicer. PostprocessingClean the hole for the shaft with an 8mm drill bit. Make it as clean as possible to avoid friction.Add the pins to the body and glue the two haves together with some superglueAdd a drop of superglue into the skid holes and glue the skids in placeTo make the helicopter fly stable, you have to direct the airflow of the propeller to act as a counterforce against the rotors spinning direction. The easiest way is to make a fin with transparent tape.<img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/d
