He's getting better at it, I saw one where he was bouncing up and down and experimenting a while back. Always makes me think of Inspector Gadget

a weight shift heli what next...

there's one big prob with at thing, if the engine stops it will fall like a stone as the blades are too light, fixed pitch and have no free wheel hence no autorotate.

That's why he didn't go high.

Chuck a couple of large flywheel on there and it'll be fine.

Two rotor going in the same direction - what was there to stop the torque reaction. The Airscooter has contra rotating blades so that's easy.

So does that if you look closely at the beginning.

do you think it might be a good idea to have a hair cut before trying that? I cant help thinking there are one or 2 safety issues.

Like the reliability of two strokes and gravity.
