New Plans:
Alright so we have decided to stick with the Chinook design because it was too cool to pass up, we decided instead of popsicle stick rotors we would stick with much more stable plastic ones that were in the design lab, and eventually we concluded that this design may have to be a one-time flight because the motors just could not handle 200 grams (around half a pound) of weight alone, so the batteries will most likely be a higher voltage and outside of the main body to provide even more lift. We are laser cutting the cardboard for more precise measurements and we have also abandoned the on/off switch so that we could lose a bit more weight from having a PCB in our helicopter.
