Safest helicopter in the world

Graviman. No secret mechanism. The machine is powered by a four stroke engine which drives the hydraulic pumps. The electric motor is for indoor venues. The Helicopter can rotate through 360 digrees as it is turned by a slow revving four bladed tail rotor driven by a hydraulic motor. The whole machine sits on a gimble and therefore can tilt or roll in any direction. The main lift ram raises some three feet. The next development is to mount a similar arrangement on top of a floating plate assembly, this will then make it as unstable as the real thing. As it stands at the moment, it is perfect for its purpose, that is, to give people an idea of the basic inputs required to control a helicopter. I think i can manufacture the all singing and dancing version for around £8000. Bug
