Awesome Things You Can Make Out of Cardboard Boxes



Remember when you were a kid and a giant cardboard box wasn't just the thing the new fridge came in? It magically turned into your new playhouse/rocketship/fort. I think it can be hard to look at cardboard boxes with such creativity as an adult, but don't worry - Lier over at ikat bag still can, and she's sharing her ideas with us. You'll look at your recycling through your five-year-old lens again in no time.

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.
