We made helicopters from templates. The larger ones flew longer than the smaller ones (clockwise)

We made helicopters from templates. The larger ones flew longer than the smaller ones (clockwise). More surface area=more air resistance!

The longer rotors spin slower than the smaller rotors! And when we bent the rotors the opposite way,both helicopters spun anti clockwise.

Then we added paper clips. This made our helicopters heavier, causing it to spin faster and gravity pulled it to the ground even faster.
