Dude Builds Homemade Helicopter Out Of Bicycle, Car Parts And A 747

Now here’s an enterprising fellow. A 24 year old Nigerian Physics undergrad built himself a helicopter out of bicycle parts, car parts and a crashed Boeing 747.

The chopper… is made from scrap aluminium that Abdullahi bought with the money he makes from computer and mobile phone repairs, and a donation from his father, who teaches at Kano’s Bayero university.

It is powered by a second-hand 133 horsepower Honda Civic car engine and kitted out with seats from an old Toyota saloon car. Its other parts come from the carcass of a Boeing 747 which crashed near Kano some years ago.
