Remote control toy helicopter takes off from a model heliport constructed from a PASCO Structures System and two 5N Load Cells. The sum of the forces on the Load Cells is graphed in DataStudio software.
Scrub through the movie to compare the force on the platform as the helicopter rests, lifts off, hovers, and then clears the edge of the platform.
