Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
The dogs barking in the background are a strong hint as to the low-tech, not helicopter-enthusiast-friendly environment in this impoverished locale. There's a reason why not even Leonardo da Vinci succeeded in getting an 'aerial screw' off the ground (not that he ever tried)—and rest assured, this guy here is no Leonardo da Vinci. But I definitely give him an A+ for effort. R.I.P. Heliboy. |

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
A five point harness was in order, what was he thinking, it was worsened by the flimsy materials he used for his "copter". I would have done several test runs before climbing into it and train a chimp for the virgin flight. |
