Went through several monocopters with increasing angle of attack & smoother launch rods to keep her from hanging up. Finally built a more symmetric blade just to get her balanced. Sure enough, the balanced blade took off into a brief stable hover before running out of room. Marcy 1 was born. A monocopter has to be perfectly balanced about the axis of rotation & the point the launch stand attaches to. Should have subscribed to Steve Morris weeks ago.
