He would have been okay if the one piece of the tail rotor that went up hadn't been slapped by the main rotor and sent flying straight toward him. I would have expected it to be deflected to the side.
Oh wait, now I see. The piece of the tail rotor deflected the main rotor down, and that's what hit him and the side of the cockpit. Poor guy. |

24 year old mechanic took
Two years to make a helicopter. Then has the balls to try and fly it. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Imagine where he'd have gone in life living in the US . |

I’m never going to shit on someone with the drive and initiative to try and build his own helicopter, especially someone in a place like India. We did plenty of shit that killed a lot of people figuring this out in our day. Godspeed my man, I’m sorry it took you but respect for trying.

Quote HistoryI really find no humor in his death. A guy, with extremely limited resources, in a poor ass nation, had a dream to be a helo owner and pilot. Only path was to make one. His ambition fatally exceded his skills and resources. He at least had gumption enough to take a shot. I'll give him that. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hmmmm great idea, build your own homemade helicopter and fly it. Rotary wing aircraft are about the most complicated contraptions you can fly... there are just too many things that can go wrong and get you killed, especially in small training or home built ones. Speaking as someone with dozens of hours in UH1's and CH-47's (as a crewman) and over a thousand hours in fixed wing aircraft as PIC. Put all his faith into a Hindu nut instead of the Jesus nut? Hindu nut fail = dindu? |
