Holy $#$ - eBay Copter

I hope no one has posted this yet...

Oh my god.

Look at ebay auction ID#4574014226

I would normally say something witty, but I am speechless. Is it a
scam? Perhaps an organic brain dysfunction? Or maybe this man is a
brave new form of life being weeded out my Darwin...

This is so far beyond anything I have experienced.

Scam? No, just a self deluded idiot. Note the description. He refers to
himself as "MTJ", then describes the sort of person who should fly it, but
then says "This chopper is not to be flown by anyone but MTJ", and then
admits that "This helicopter has never flown". In other words, it never
flew, it never will, and he doesn't know how even if it could.

He gets A+ for creativity : ^). Dangerous yes, but I think it has a
better chance of 'flying' than the G1.

After closer examination, I think it is too heavy for the horsepower
available, and as Anthony said below, no enough done to keep engine
cool.

I keep seeing that long drive chain flapping around like a wet noodle.

Never has it been so easy to think of some positive comments. :-)

I guarantee he has the Surplus Center on speed dial.
Finally, a homebuilt that doesn't claim a 1000 mile range.
Perfect for Monster Garage to turn into a bass boat.

Not that anything could possibly go wrong, but the successful bidder
should invest in a good "flight" suit like this one

The weight of the thing(looks very VERY heavy) and the suit that you
suggested will greatly contribute to pilot safety : -).

I keep thinking the POH should say something about decapitation.

It sure looks like a candidate for this year's Darwin awards. Even if
it gets off the ground, there isn't going to be hardly any cooling air
flowing over the engine and it'll seize in short order.

Replace the two drive chain with heavy-duty Stihl® units and it would make
and excellent portable sawmill!
