An accomplishment? Or an accident looking for a crash site?

I've been in Nigeria. It's probably still safer than taking a bus.

I would rather see him do this than have him run 409 scams.

Way to go Muhammed!

I remain extremely skeptical that the thing flys until I see a
picture or video of it in the air.
I mean, 133 hp?? With heavy Toyota car seats (4 of them)? Don't the
smallest helios have over 200 hp?

Ricky
Other articles on the helicopter have reported its maximum altitude as
seven feet. He is hoping to build one that will achieve fifteen feet.
Still an achievement, as that is untethered.

If he's really done it, it certainly is.

Moller ought to hire him to work on the Skycar....

Moller makes the 409 scammers look like amateurs.

Hmmmm.... it did not crash yet. But plenty of homebuilts here in North
America have while testing. Plenty of homebuilts here never got off
the ground because they are still in the garage after 20, 30? years
and never get built. Come on... give the youth credit for ambition.

Exactly. Not only that, but:

A 24-year-old undergraduate from Nigeria is building helicopters
out of old car and bike parts. Mubarak Muhammed Abdullahi, a
physics student, spent eight months building the yellow model seen
here, using the money he makes from repairing cellphones and
computers.

Eight months! Who has built anything that flies in 8 months?

MMmmm..I guess I have:

All he needs is my help in collecting his $18.2 million dollars.

I'd be more impressed if I saw a video of the thing flying.
