Those little secondary blades are called flybar-paddles.. what actually happens is that the pilot flies the flybar, and the little blades fly the big blades. Apparently if the pilot was put in charge of the big blades directly these little helis would be way too responsive and twitchy for a human to be capable of flying out of a hover. Just in case anyone thought it was easy at the moment!

Ever driven an RC car towards yourself, and inadvertently turned the wrong way? That's only 2 dimensions.. now try doing it with 4! (aileron, elevator, pitch/throttle, and rudder)

hmmmmmmmm, you'v got a lot to learn about kiteing! The 1st one is way to small, it will never get you on the plane. And the 2nd, allthough well constructed, maybe just a tad heavy but will probably float .I'm sure there's plenty of people that could help on design, hey, you could ask the Romans . Happy easter.
