work on a tape player motor or do I need
3 4700 uf caps

Nope. Louis Gagnon built and flew the first true helicopter in February,
1902 (he beat the Wright brothers). Flight time: approximately 2
minutes. Horizontal distance covered: 0. Vertical distance covered:
approximately 200 feet. One overhead rotor for lift, independantly
powered push propeller with a rudder directly behind it. The machine was
too difficult to control with the push-prop/rudder combination, due to
problems with torque.

By the time the story was authenticated, the history books had been
written and no one was about to change them. Kinda like the myth about
Mrs. O'Leary's cow.

Regards,
Bruce

No, the Walkmans need a little more current to move their mass. I'd go with 3
- 3300s or 3 - 2200s. 4700s will work well also, but with a longer wait.

See ya,
