Chinese Man Makes his own Helicopter

Thanks for the GA. I was the "Guest", but was having some problems with the confuser; lost the first two attempted replies, and never did manage to get shown as logged in, nor to post any links [and THANK YOU for doing so!]. I live under two hours from Oshkosh, and go there nearly every year (three full LONG days this year, but didn't manage to go the rest of the week). Member since 1978.

Have been out of town most of time since I posted this, and just now getting back to digests for that period.

"Always give credit where credit is due..." I would *hope* that something further comes of the original post... e.g., a revelation that the fellow actually came up with some "divine" / new control capability, to allow such an inexpensive copter to fly ("controllably") at the altitudes stated... Alas, I doubt that will happen. Nonetheless, I, myself, have dreamt for all-too-many years of building my own experimental aircraft... (enjoyed responding to TP's blog, of (post 8)"days-gone-by")... and still... having had several "close encounters" ... (one in particular, a client at Spruce Creek Fly-In, in Florida, who had his own Pitts) ... the dream remains alive. Perhaps there'll be time when I retire. Maybe a *vacation* to Oshkosh, prior-to that date ... a decade-or-so away, yet...! Best wishes ~

Vacation(s) to Oshkosh at AirVenture time are always good - but there are smaller fly-ins in MANY places. I can provide several very useful sites to help find them if you wish . . . and you can join EAA and get magazines, newsletters, and quite a variety of educational & entertaining articles and information, regardless of where you are.
