Loved the bloke doing the welding with his eyes shut

Seems like it's back to the drawing board for this chap. Looks a bit more than 800kg. Always fancied building a gyrocopter myself but not good with heights.

Nothing to be scared about - it will never taxi never mind take off - the only real danger is it falling off the truck onto someone, or the prop flying off and killing someone or some poor person walking into the prop because they don't realise the danger.
