"Working" Homemade Helicopter by Nigerian Student

Last week I told you about the JumboJet 747 simulator and today I've hear of a Nigerian student, Mubarak Muhammed Abdullahi, that repaired cellphones and computers for eight months in order to have the money to build the helicopter below, which apparently can fly. Made with parts from old cars and a crashed Boeing 747, Mubarak said that he studied on the internet the flying principles and decided it would be easier to build a helicopter than a car.

The homemade helicopter is 12-feet long, has a Honda Civic 133HP engine, four Toyota seats, an accelerator level to control vertical thrust and a joystick for balance and bearing, all these allowing the pilot to fly seven feet high. Communications are made thanks to a small transmitter while a camera sends ground images on a cockpit monitor.

It needs 300 rpm on the proppelor and then you "press the joystick" and it takes off. Is that simple. Mubarak is a physics student and he announced that though his helicopter doesn't show altitude, pressure or other important info his next one will be a two seats chopper that would fly at 15feets for 3 hours using a Taiwanese motor-bike engine.

That's a smart student if you need my honest opinion.
