Start around 3 minutes in, if you are in a hurry

The chain drive to the tail is a accident waiting to happen !

Just the chain?

1) I reckon he's had previous time in a chopper...?

 

2) It just HAS to be powered by Vodka.

Love the fuel tank construction. Or should I say fuel tanks. Maybe they don't have Nomex flight suits in Russia.

 

 

[Guest just Mal]

Even if I was well powered by Vodka I would not be getting into that seat.

Was expecting a utube "fail" with a stack or bits falling off it, seemed to fly like a helicopter, if he goes more than a metre off the deck I would suggest a seatbelt of some sort, turbulence could see the pilot and his machine part company!

I suggest the idea of building it came about after some vodka...
