Tony Fisher's Helichop

Another not very exciting Helicopter Cube transformation, but they all have to be done. I guess gyrocopter would have been another obvious name but I decided to stick with Helichop. Jumbling is possible still.

Beautiful! I love it! I want it! I need it! Can I buy?

This also looks like a good tool to practise jumbling algorithms on.

I adore this puzzle Tony.

Another thing I like about this puzzle is that you can make two of these from one Helicopter Cube!

Very cool!

You have both extreme skills AND awesome ideas!

So first you make 2 helicopters into one (Chinook) and now you cut one in half, so whats next? :lol:

Great job! A perfect puzzle transformation, or is it a mod because more than the shape has changed?

nice! now make a 3/4 of this puzzle! and then make one that can be turned on the other side as well

Good job Tony! I may have to build on of these for myself.

Not very exciting??? that is sweet! I love it! I want it! I will never be able to afford it though.

Very cool, it reminds me of Aleh's cut down Megaminx (can't find the link at the moment...)

Cool thing!

I just notices that since this is the Helicopter, it's the only type of magic cube in which the mechanism can be sliced cleanly in half in some way and still function as a puzzle.

Skewb - No
NxNxN - No
Dino- No

Is it easier or harder than a normal Helicopter solvewise?

You used the other half to make another heli chop, didn't you? and that one's for me because I found it right? :lol:

Really nice

P.S: did you get the two cores?

Is the yellow-across-from-orange the regular helicopter cube color scheme or did you just choose those colors?

Very fun, and probably not as easy as it may seem.

Yes yellow is opposite orange and so I didn't change the scheme. Helicopter cube stickers are a nightmare to move. Looking at my first photo again it appears that Helicopter Cubes are not all coloured the same in terms of the order of colours around a corner.
