The AMAZING Paperclip Helicopter

While bored at work, I came up with this idea while trying to shoot paperclips into my ceiling....Then I fell upon this. It only takes about 2 minutes and practically no money....unless you need to buy the "everyday materials." This is my first instructable, so please, let me know what you think.

Step 1 Materials

There are 3 basic materials that you will need to effectively make the amazing paperclip helicopter thingie.

1) Paperclip....DUH
I used a #1 size.

2) A Rubberband. Just the normal size will do.

3) Some medium weight tape. Masking tape is GRRRREAT!

NOW LET'S GET STARTED!

yet another object fattening my wallet, i used black tape and went outside to test but proved to hard to see and find in the dark, but enough time before heard hit seems to work

When I shot mine, it swirled around while in filght, both going up and down. I modded it to become a plane. It was epic.

Thank you so much. I played with mine for hours!

[Radioactive_Legos]

This can be very dangerous if you bend the paperclip like this _ / \ / \ / \ / \ / / \ \ /_/ \_\ and launch it the same way. VERY DANGEROUS.
