Don't believe everything you see on YouTube.

 

I think that is BS dude

 

Can't auto a rotor that big at that slow speed.

 

I buy it, it's being towed by a car. Check out a fuller version, he pins off and glides down and lands

Maybe.... But the "rotor kite?" appears to be towed. And I found this!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_kite

Just maybe it does exist?

 

Right, but still implies being towed or line anchored like a kite in a strong prevailing wind.

 

True @Beaver. Its not a hang glider as i first thought.

 

It is being towed, as hang gliders and paragliders are towed by cars, you you can see him pin off and glide. you could probably thermal it as well in stonking conditions, but you would probably meet your God(s)

There are tons of them. Just Type "home made helicopter" in Youtube search.

This one works:

I have found heli model with PAPER blades:

Autogyro is different story. I watched one at our field. It was small, foam RC model with foam blades. It flew pretty well but no flips&roll. Watching blades rotating without motor is fun. It had just propeller in the front power by small electric motor.

 

Yes, nearly anything can be found on YouTube..... even a flying water bottle.

 

Hahaha can't even tick Tock that's shiz lol

 

Hey I love the flying waterbottle..... thats yours insnt it @Beaver??? Great idea. I wish i thought of that when i flew the 120SR

 

Yes, that was a couple months ago. I forgot I shot that vid till last night.

 

This one is scary!

 

Yeah scary for sure! But the dream...imagine having your own helicopter!!

 

The chain drive tail rotor is more than a bit dodgy. The whole contraption looks as if it was built using a child's swingset.

 

Well, it was a defected Russian-American that perfected the first production helicopter. Those Russians have always had a unique way with helis (some of which still remind me of a "flying water bottle"). That contraption would have Igor Sikorsky rolling in his grave if he knew.
