What Happens Next in This Comic Will Shock You

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.

Speed Bump is viewable at GoComics as well as Creators.com http://www.creators.com/comics/speed-bump.html , Yahoo News http://news.yahoo.com/comics/speed-bump-slideshow/ , ArcaMax http://www.arcamax.com/thefunnies/speedbump/ (larger version), Dave Coverly's personal site http://www.speedbump.com/cg_speedbump.php (along with other fun examples of his cartoonery), several newspaper sites... heck, you can't go far in the WWW without stumbling over a Speed Bump. (but a long way to get to that joke)
I do especially like today's Bump... mmmm, bacon!

I call this BS. The way he's describing what he does to fly isn't correct with typical helicopters.

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.
