Now I've added the turbines for forward thrust. There'll
be some rotors on top for upward-movement, which will
be slightly adjustable for tilting. I'm not that satisfied yet,
I guess I'll be changing some more stuff. The thrusters
will probably be moved a little higher, as to make room
for three tires for this thing to land. Right now it looks like
those planes able to land on water... That's not the
intention.

Again, pure radiosity. And its not the newest version, I've
removed the lights off the thrusters, doesn't look right to me.

Comments?

I love the lighting setup, and the texture looks deliciously smooth. 
Still, the copter looks like a toy or a display item made of ceramic. It 
sure looks realistic, just not like a real full-size helicopter. It 
could be the setting that makes that impression, or just the fact that 
there is no entry doors yet. Just my random impression.
