Well, my tinkering and modifying is done, this is the final version...

Behold, the mighty balloon powered LOLCOPTER Mk1!

NOW FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE!!
AND IMPROVED - See Instructions :)

Which means endless possibilities!

It's got turbines, it's got propellers, everything is customizable, play with the settings and see how high can you make it fly.

Make it how you want it to be, blow up a balloon, put it on and let it soar :)

I'd love to see how many different designs come out of this and which ones fly best.

This is my very first OpenSCAD model, I haven't done any coding before this, and boy, what a learning curve, but I'm proud to say that I've written every line of code in this script!

It's amazing what variables and a single line of code can do!

I wanted to make something fun to learn how to use openSCAD and the Makerbot Customizer app.

Inspiration and coding lessons came from many sources, but credit for inspiration also goes to these two makers;

OpenSCAD is a lot of fun; I think I'm addicted!
I can't wait to get into my next project!

I encourage and welcome all feedback on any aspect of this design, especially on how easy or hard the parts are to print.

I'm happy to make changes to make it better.

EDIT: Big propellers are working
