Home Made Helicopter!

Featured Replies

"Farmer Wu Zhongyuan, 22, sits in his self-made helicopter in Jiuxian county, Henan province, China on August 1, 2009. The local government later halted Wu's plan to fly the helicopter out of safety concerns. The aircraft, powered by a 150cc engine, took Wu two months to build and cost more than 10,000 yuan ($1,460), China Daily reported. (REUTERS/China Daily)"

A bit lacking on the bling front possibly!

I don't think that blue first aid kit is gonna be enough for all those people :rolleyes:

Good to see the Chinese are coming on leaps and bounds with their aircraft production.

When the engine gets up to speed and it topples over it will remove the heads of some of the onlookers :rolleyes:

If that front caster is any indication, he must weld almost as good as me.

Should have made it out of PVC pipe instead.

Looks like this is what he's trying to do---

I think the kid has missed his mark. He could have put two sticks in it and sold it as a sex machine! :rolleyes:

Pretty impressive really! I thought he was going to lose control of it in the first few minutes though...
