no video of this one yet. http://gizmodo.com/5333293/fearless...working-helicopter-using-wood-massive-cojones take a look at this scrap heap flying. YouTube - Another near look of the homemade "shanzhaiji" helicopter
You guys may laugh but that is exactly how we created this technologically advance nation. It start with regular people with big ideas (wright brothers for example). I think it is a positive thing and just means that some day in the future china will be quite the country.
Since I saw Road Warrior I've always wanted one of these. I doubt that first one pictured could fly as claimed, but the one in the video sure seems to do okay for what it is. Safety's probably not as big of a concern... look at the roads he's flying near. You couldn't drive some cars down those. Flying's the way to go for a developing country. Neat comment about the original article posted:
Lol the wooden one would of been better off as a plane. I want a little personal helicopter, That thing was awesome.
