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.

It'll fly off a catapult on an aircraft carrier, but according to my
father, so will an old Chevy...

There are photographs of vehicles being catapulted from carriers. A
google search should find a few.

If you lack a decent rudder on a 1964 Biscayne, I understand you can use the
doors in slow flight for some yaw control.

"64 Biscayne. Are you declaring an emergency at this time?"
"Yes."
"But you haven't [been] launched yet."
"Well thank goodness because we're having problems with our wipers."

I zoomed in on the JPEG but couldn't figure it out. Saturday night - bored.
