Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
That’s how I want to go when it’s my time… suddenly and doing what I enjoy. He didn’t have time to realize he was going to die.

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
No thats not how progress is made, this is opposite of progress, pioneers of aviation did all those dangerous experiments to collect crucial data required for aviation engineers. I have zero knowledge about how to make a helicopter so if i decide to make one i will find an engineering book so i can learn what kind of engine to use, what kind of materials to build blades, what kind of electronics required etc. Putting random shit together like an idiot to build something looking like a helicopter with blades that cant even handle gyroscopic force before take off, thats just plain simple stupidity. |

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
Two things that don’t go together: India and experimental aircraft. Hell, even if they had a well established national airline I wouldn’t go anywhere near it. |

D.I.Y Rearranged, is D.Y.I. Do Yourself In.  I like that the wrong guy was holding his head after the shit (or head) hit the fan.  |

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
the real question is, WHY. I could've shipped the 2021 Sikorsky catalog to him all you had to do was ask

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
I think I can say without fear of contradiction, that “no people can say that”. Because they are dead and can’t express an opinion on the way or manner in which they met their demise.  |
