Storage Jar Helicopter Pod

This toy wooden helicopter has a solar powered rotor but it's not waterproof.

I wanted a quick, cheap and easy way to leave it outside in my garden, come wind, rain or shine.

The solution was to mount it ship-in-a-bottle style. I used a plastic storage jar, the kind they give away for nothing from sweet shops (candy stores) in England.

Step 1 Fix the lid to a fence post.

 I used a screw, but a nail would probably do just as well.

Firm enough to hold, not so tight you can't turn it round when levelling the whole thing later.
