ah no he has zero collective pitch or control over the rotor. It is not controllable best if it doesn't get off the ground. Correction I was looking at the second one. The first seems viable but choppers are extremely difficult to control. Everything changes everything else, add some rudder and you are increasing the pitch of the tail rotor which in turn will change the load on the engine and drop or increase its revs. This will cause the pilot to correct by changing throttle which will then change the amount of lift so require collective adjustment, rudder, cyclic etc, Everything is changing with everything and it keeps doing it continuously.
Wouldn't call that first one a failure. It actually worked until it suffered a loss of tail rotor power. Let's be honest, that happens on multi-million dollar models too sometimes.
@@michealklondike4049 It was a fixed propeller. He needed much more than 'tweaking'. That 'heli' was the equivalent of an airplane with no control surfaces.
@@fischerkat8852 Seemed like an initial run to see if it can even lift off and just hovered a bit. He lost tail rotor effectiveness which led to him making a mistake and that led to a dynamic roll over. If it was windy at all, he probably shouldn't have tried it.
I admire the courage of these inventors. If they had access to aluminum instead of steel, they would stand a better chance of getting off the ground. The first helicopter actually flew controlled for at least a minute. I couldn't do anything like it.
Yeah it would be interesting to see what they could come up with , with access to materials, tools and machinery, a bit of training with technical drawing, engineering and physics.
@@guerillagardener2237basically your saying if they were civilized and educated they could do it.. never going to happen.. they have had thousands of years to become civilized.. yet still act like animals to each other. The entire demographic is a problem

Agreed. The person who made this stupid video has probably never picked up a screwdriver in their lives before. I admire ANYONE who tries to make their dreams reality.
@@JohnJones-ct9pr It's amazing what they can do with next to nothing but they are being too ambitious. Helicopters are about the most complicated aircraft you can built and can't put one together out of junk. Get some plans for a simpler aircraft which can be safely built with materials available to you and then get into the air and develop from there. There is nothing wrong for example with a hang glider. Once you've mastered that you could move to a powered hang glider and so forth. Building a chopper with limited education will result in death and disaster. Perhaps not you but some poor sap who's watching on not really understanding just how strong the forces are.
@JohnJones-ct9pr yeah I admire the serious attempts but what an education in flying or engineering does is scale your understanding of your skills vs reality. Nothing like your first flight to realise you have no bloody idea what you are doing. When you finally get flying solo you realise the gulf between what you thought you could do and can actually do and you realise you are a long way to go. It's a pity that they can't get access to a gliding club with basic primary trainers these could be towed by car and released.
@JohnJones-ct9pr if they insist on rotorcraft this is a boom trainer gyroglider ua-cam.com/video/CPpdctY5LMI/v-deo.html very cheap can build rotors out of steel and marine ply. Have to be made carefully but plans are available they can then build a gyroglider.
Congratulations on the first one! A true pioneer in African flight! I'm serious, no one else in Africa was able to achieve 20 secs of controlled flight with a homebuilt helicopter! 🍻🍻🐝
I wish there would be people who'd take a guy like that under their wing (rotors). The reality is as admirable as this is helicopters are damn hard to fly, your chances of learning without doing this (even if the design is sound) 10x + is exceedingly high. I used to instruct in towed gyrogliders, these have no torque effect, are actually stable in flight (can be flown hands off) however even though most of my students were fixed wing pilots in 16 years of doing this only 4 could have soloed after a few runs, most took several weekends to master it. Some took 6 months. Chances of soloing in a powered helicopter first try and next to zero. No amount of admiration will change that. He needs proper training. Unfortunately choppers are expensive, very expensive. Instruction is also hence very expensive.
@@AutismusPrime69 Have you seen any of the other attempts from sub-Saharan Africans regarding flight? Check out those videos, maybe even the "Space Program" one country had. After seeing those, you'll realize this guy deserves kudos!
The rotor doesn't have a tilt mechanism, and the whole assembly seems to be imbalanced. They are also not looking into weights and center of gravity(C.G). Not sure if its only for laughs or they are serious about flying.
@@mohabatkhanmalak1161 the rotor does have a swash plate, you can tell it does by looking at his left hand. The pilot built the aircraft from a kit, he was also a South African Army helicopter pilot so he knew exactly how to control it. What happened was he got into an aerodynamic phenomenon known as loss of tail rotor effect. That's what caused the spin. LTE can be bad at altitude and downright deadly close to the ground as it almost always results in a dynamic rollover, he's very lucky to walked away from that crash.
Show me an engineer who hasn't built and failed at least once? The first clip, be it homebuilt, a kit or whatever showed a lot of promise. It worked. I hope the pilot and developer continued to work on the design / craft.
Um, no. Because helicopters have been around for a very long time now. The aerodynamics and engineering is out there if you look. If you do t then you make these dangerous idiotic devices.

I am all for innovation, etc, but want, with total lack of common sense/mechanical aptitude is only going to hurt people while painfully obvious it had zero chance of working. not anyone can build a flying machine- especially without actually understanding how anything works. the first one was functional, and actually flew- if he actually designed and built it, that guy could easily go far given some funding/equipment- he obviously had a basic understanding of what was required, and built one that worked- a expensive production machine coulda suffered the same fate if its sole designer tried to fly it with no experience- he did remarkably well... even if it was a kit, he did manage to hover briefly- but if it was a kit, hes no different than any other person in any other country- kits are expensive, he must have funding/time from a good job, or maybe he simply had wealthy parents...if he actually designed/made the thing, I sure hope someone sees that type of person is a rare individual, and puts him in a position with opportunities to do great things. the rest look like manifestations from a childs coloring book, those guys dont realize how clueless they are- a recipe for disaster after wastes of time...
I mean they know they're playing with their life with a 2% chance of living after it gets 20 ft plus in the air?? I mean that 1 copter was shaking like hell!!!!
I want to congratulate this people for their inteligence and fiercing desire to fly, despite of all difficulties!! they all have my respect!! keep going guys neve give up!!!
They seem to design a helo based on pictures or movies. They know what they look like but, practical application is another story. The first guy was airborne but, landing is the easy part…gravity will help you tremendously.
He'd need to install a collective pitch system first. I couldn't see any control to the rotor other than speed. Perhaps he has some arrangement going through the mast and into the rotor? Not a system I've seen before.
@@cameronlapworth2284 I think he is using the collective pitch control (that is my supposition of course when I see he is pulling it like a handbrake) but I don't see any throttle control (also because the quality of the video is far from being a 4K). Do you think he is using the collective as a throttle? That would be really amazing and scary at the same time.
@@cameronlapworth2284 Now I understand! I wasn't checking the main rotor! Ok now that is impossible, it will just work like a fan, not being able to stabilize in neither directions! Even taking off would be impossible :D
@@matteominellono unsure. Unless he has a tube going through the mast and actuating in the middle? I can't see any swash plates or cyclic. May be some unconventional system.
@matteominellono if it doesn't have cyclic or collective I wonder if it even teeters. If there is no teeter hinge it will be a big gyroscope and any movement that happens will translate to a response on the rotor gyroscopic pressecion 90 degrees from that. It'll crash in seconds. Seems aft balanced too. Although this could be gyroscopic response from turn to the left (if tail rotor is just a fan) a left turn could induce a pitch up on the disk as that would be 90 degrees from left rotation. Just a guess a 100 things could cause it.
Would you rather be in a small room with a homemade bushcraft helicopter , like a human sized blender/food processor or in a small room with a hungry lion?? This is a poll.. Vote: 1 for human sized blender/food processor Vote: 2 for hungry lion

@@crawford323 how many people died using a home made wardrobe , and because off that kit cars need a intensive inspection to be road worthy , because a badly build vehicle can kill not just you but others
@@brunobastos5533 What would it take for one to build a machine which eliminates human failure? I do not believe even Elon Musk has that kind of money. Life is full of risk and we can prepare for those risk, otherwise don’t leave your risk free and unaffordable bunker.
@@crawford323 Iam not getting your point , the risk of any one get hit by is car made by tesla is many magnitude lower than from a diy car , any of this will fail any faa inspection , go and read to the first guy trying a parachute
GAMBIAN HOME MADE CHOPPER LOOKS LIKE A HAMAS RPG😂😂😂😂
At 2:41 is this the real deal were the US sole the design for the F22 and F35?
11:59 good grief 😂
You're laughing, but try to build even a crappy looking aircraft. I really hope one day they will build working one.
I suspect family or friends sabotaged the motors of the ones that won't start.
Boeing should watch this and learn something. Zero fatalities. Now I drink my coffee.
The one that wouldn't start😂. Take the main rotor off it will start
Nothing but the best in aeronautics 👍👉🤝👈
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So I guess the Wright Brothers were considered daredevils. I salute these people building their own flying machines.
Cjng wants to know these peoples location 😂
2nd guy needs to just slap a couple weights on the front to balance and he can bunny hop! Impressive tho cuz if he keeps at it without dying he could make that work
