Helicopter

Helicopter is a fun but complex sign. Make a horizontal number 3 sign with your non-dominant hand, with palm facing your body, and thumb sticking up. Then cover it with your open, dominant hand creating a movement that mimics blades. Wiggle your 'blades' hand as both hands move in small flying motions in front of your body.
