Building and flying a homemade helicopter is perhaps the worst idea someone could possibly have. A simple mistake in design or build quality can have disastrous consequences! Let’s take a look at 15 homemade helicopters people have actually flown.

Is this the guy from simple history?
“Another awesome helicopter kit.” None of these were bad ideas.
Title says “BAD IDEA” and yet the video itself goes over how each one of these is awesome.
Fucking clickbait is alive and well on YouTube.
These things are shlt and will be gone within 20 years. R.I.P to all the people who died in these bltches.
Yes its a bad idea.
The 4-seater is cool. You could kill your whole family with this baby.
clickbait
It looks like a Bell B47
dragonfly df-1: uses hydrogen peroxide as a fuel – "but it's not the stuff you find under the sink" and "it uses a commercial-grade diluted formula".
kids, the stuff under the sink is about 3% – in order to be useful as a rocket fuel, hydrogen peroxide has to be up around 70%, and at that concentration it will take your skin right off – calling the rocket fuel "diluted" is like calling the Atlantic Ocean "damp".
GARBAGE CLICKBAIT VIDEO
This video is shit. Anyone can criticize. I support all challengers making homemade aircraft.
Helicopters are electric.
As I understand it, airplanes inherently want to fly, whereas helicopters inherently don't. True?
I like turtles
Looks fun. And scary 😮

I remember when Dad won a helicopter, in a card game. He didn't have any place to park it. So he tide it to a tree, and left it idling.
I would rather watch thanks
As long as the two things spinning super fucking fast… don’t suddenly stop. You should be okay.
Wether or not it Flies. Those two things staying put is a success in my book.
After watching this video I don’t know which one to buy….😅
Thumbs down for being misleading
Total garbage video
Still safer than a Robinson!
Leave out the music we want to hear the engines 🙄
AL-U-MIN-UM
Man I really wanted to see that contraption in the thumbnail
Click bait! If you want real homemade ones just search Ugandan airforce.
where are the crashes?
These are all good if you have an enormous property or ranch.
The handlebar flight controls are a great idea. It certainly seems more intuitive than the cyclic and collective. Would any pilots want to comment?
Fantastic! A home-made helicopter that carries three passengers. So it's not just one person who is culled from the gene pool, but four, at once — the pilot and the three people stupid enough to get into the thing.
Obviously put out by someone who doesn't know he's talking about. Lots of skewed or simply wrong statements, false statements, and ignorance.
Which one was insane?
How many died in these death traps?
I thought they were bad ideas. I thought I'd see non-flying or crashes.
