For my school's annual physics olympics, I have to design a rubberband 
propelled by a single 64 gauge rubberband.  The helicopter must fit into a 
50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm box.  The purpose is to make it travel as high as 
possible and not very far horizontally.  I am confused on how to create 
this; specifically, how to make a helicopter.  If you can help me, I would 
be very grateful.
