The ones from Africa are priceless. Joseph's should be titled "My attempts to decapitate myself".

The only thing more dangerous than trying to fly it is standing 50' away watching the show. The helicopter won't fly, but the shattered blades will. All over the place!

These aren’t helicopters they are just complex head remover’s

The only thing more ridiculous than these backyard designs, is the voice-over commentary. I just shaved a couple IQ points listening to it.

If you want to enjoy this video.... Turn off the narration.

[Davidbirdman]

I admire these people. At least they have a dream and are trying. I say good luck

[shacknastyray]

I guess the on line aerodynamics class from a Nigerian Prince wasn't legit after all

[worldofrandometry]

A lack of education combined with sheer recklessness.

[daveolsen]

I applaud the courage of the camera operators.!.

Its like sitting in a blender just waiting to get sliced and diced. CRAZY

The video of helicopters is especially special. The English spoken could not achieve the goal of communicating clearly, and chased away its viewers.

OMG. The words DIY and Helicopter should not be used in the same sentence. Which is effectively what these guys have done. I like to watch this from a safe distance.😮

[edwardfletcher]

There are far too many mechanical problems to list. Even ignoring that WHY do they ALWAYS try to take off 6ft away from buildings, walls and vehicles ?? 😲

[mickmccrory]

Safety tip.... Never get in anything called "Homemade helicopter."

[guitardzan]

These African builders are obviously brilliant engineers. But, they should guarantee success by launching from a tall And video their achievements!

Some good clips, but the title is wrong (with clips of two fixed wing aircraft, one a glider) and the robo voice is annoying and inaccurate at times. What is a trail boom?

[chrisgrube-hegr]

Keep in mind. Orville and Wilber were NOT aeronatical engineers! They were bicycle mechanics! No one was in those days. All those backyard experiments eventually paid off. Aviation was born in a garage by people who had NO clue what they were doing. They were courageous and curios. It takes passion to do this. Cut these guys some slack!

I love the mentally challenged robot narrator.

[seaknightvirchow]

some people must have a death wish, that includes the spectators standing near these things.

[Celler]

Deep breathes while watching this. WOW...Unreal technology.
