You'll cry with joy when you click on this misleading headline that suggests a counter-intuitive contrarian view that is actually quite normal or disingenuous. Go ahead and bite into Dave Coverly's Speed Bump cartoons.

I do especially like today's Bump... mmmm, bacon!
Plus, the materials he used (car seats, etc...) are quite heavy and with only 133 hp I seriously doubt this would get off the ground.
As an example, a Robinson R44 helicopter (also a four seater) uses a 245 hp engine. Also, if you look closely at the gimbal (the area where the rotors are attached to essentially the vertical shaft) there's a lot of stuff missing such as the parts that change the pitch of the rotors.
Plus, I don't know what he would have used from the old car and crashed 747 to build those specific parts.
Creating something from junk parts is all well and good (I go to Burning Man every year) and sure, he can even call it a helicopter. But the reality is that this thing doesn't fly like a helicopter. Show me a picture or even better, a video of this thing actually flying and I'll gladly eat crow.
