DIY – China man made a helicopter himself

DIY Helicopter

This is a cool DIY helicopter that is build by a Chinese man who always hope that he do not need to climb mountain anymore. The knowledge he use to build this helicopter came mainly from his middle-school physics and other relevant knowledge by surfing the Internet on a mobile phone. According to him the total cost for this machine is around $1,600, which is considerably cheaper that a real helicopter. The blades are made from Elm tree wood, and a motorcycle engine provides the power. The frame is reinforced with steel pipes, and he claims that his single-seat copter can fly up to 2,600 feet!
