Homemade Helicopter First Flight.
 

You'll like this as I know I did.

No Health and safety nonsense there either! If that happened on EASA's patch they would stroke out, for sure.

Enjoy!

What could possibly go wrong?!:}

Give him his due it's got better styling than a robo

Wow dual fuel tanks for added safety

You have to think that is not his first time picking up a machine ....

Love it! Anyone spot what helicopter the head's from?

The name Igor Sikorsky came to mind as I watched that.

I second that! Give that man a blue peter badge....and some vodka!!!!:D

Interesting position for the cyclic. Better than a robbo. ;)

True, state of the art sidestick. I also love the typical soviet landing gear layout. Just a note, not that it matters but this video has been posted here on a regular basis, there are probably a couple of dedicated threats on it already.

"dedicated threats"!, do you westlands are so worried they're gonna send the boys round?!!!!:E

Obviously i meant "threads", terribly sorry but i'm not a native speaker. So i do not get your westlands reference. But rest assured i "do am not worried" :}

Thats is really good, I like the see thru Fuels tanks, what I don't like are the cycle type chains powering his T/r, if he can sort that out, well then I feel we could be seeing the Rooshian Robinski knocking on the door of the low Price copters for fun flying in a neighborhood near you soon..!

Well, after the embargo on Military and other stuff with Uncle Boris the Dwarf, is lifted !!

:ok:

My rubbish attempt at a joke suddenly feels even more rubbish! :*

tsall good, pal. dont be worried :)

Sop Monkey - Fantastic! Thanks for posting - looks like an A-Team build....I love it when a 'heli' comes together! Yaahoo:)

"Love the smell of 2-stroke in the morning!"

Seatbelts? :O

Kazan should sue this guy for patent infringement regarding landing gear, just like Eurocopter/AirbusH sued Bell.

Just like helicycle but with tad less reliable engine config. Icing on cake, cycling it to proximity of cars so leisurely.

Do you need seatbelt in Russia hovering, anyway?

You can nearly call it 'synchrocopter' with the almost intermeshing rotors.

He probably had baby-sized vodka before the test flight. Improves focus, no?
