6. Experimentation 2

Feeling curious about how the maple seeds fly, I made a shape that's similar to them, giving some weight at the bottom and a side, flied them. It worked well, flied in the way the shape was supposed to. So I tried to gain stablility by attaching more seeds together and they all flied pretty well making this flappy spinning flightpath. (uploading movies soon.)
In an article I read, it said maple seeds has the basic logic that's applied to helicopters.
So I tried making a wing with a plastic sheet and it flied well, firmly spinning, better than papers.
