Heck of a fun contraception if you'd learn how to fly first.

Maybe he should get a counterrotating propeller on the tail. You know, like every single helicopter in existence, because otherwise the torque causes the damn thing to do precisely that.

Nah, counter rotating main rotors work just fine without tail rotors. The physics is the same with one rotor countering the rotational force of the other. There are lots of helicopters without tail rotors.

I think it's supposed to be a type of gyrocopter. Still better than the shit the niggers in Africa cobble together.

How high was I ?

Pretty high to get in that thing in the first place.

That guy was a little 'delusional', whatever the cause. You need to operate the controls correctly for a successful flight, and he couldn't.

Here's a guy that can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCkmNBnvLJU
