Barely looks worth all the effort to get 3 feet off the ground and wobble about a bit. Needs a bigger engine

I think he just needs to be slightly more brave with it, cant see why it wouldnt be capable of going much quicker and higher.

That's a home made amateur effort. That's about all it does, it doesn't have the power to do much more than just hop off the ground for a few seconds.

However, there is a commercially available one man co-axial helicopter called the "GEN H-4".
Due a google search for it, there are loads of video's.

I have to say that I admire his ingenuity. Pretty impressive for a home built jobber.

Looks like a really good effort if you ask me. Nice way to avoid the congestion charge if you happen to live in London. With a little adaption it could even fold up and fit in some sort of case
