Single Seat Helicopter
Here’s the ultimate gadget for you geeks with more money than you know what to do with. The “SNOC” is a single seat helicopter that sports a slick, aerodynamic design. Man wouldn’t it be cool to terrorize the neighborhood cookouts with this thing?
Build Your Own Indoor Mini Helicopter
There are generally two micro-helicopters ( indoor ) in the RC market. Unlike those operated by gas, these electric helicopters are very clean and give out no terrible noise at all. In one nightfall, I visited a web site, which is about how to make a hand made RC helicopter. I was totally impressed and started designing my own helicopter. This fantastic tutorial will take you through these steps to build one of your own.
Black Stealth 3-Channel R/C Helicopter
Finally one of our geek wishes has been realized with this precise flying Black Stealth 3-Channel R/C Helicopter. The Black Stealth features 3-channels, allowing it to go up and down, rotate right and left and move forwards and backwards. Unlike most of the small 2-Channel copters on the market which are always moving forward with somewhat twitchy controls, the Black Stealth is a breath of fresh air. You can actually fly it where you want it to go, it’s fairly rugged… and surprisingly it’s probably the easiest to fly small copter we’ve ever taken to the office airspace. Don’t believe us? Check out the video below and you’ll see the accurate flight mechanics in action.
DIY Helicopter For $3000
Hey, remember the guy in Nigeria that made the homemade helicopter out of spare parts? Well here’s a guy in China that made a homemade helicopter with just $3000. The downside is, it’s taken him nearly 10 years to get it completed and he just started test flights a few months ago. Check out the helipcopter in action.

Riding Shotgun On An Apache Helicopter
Now this would be one kick ass ride.
In the extreme case of a battlefield or natural disaster area rescue, the pilot or co-pilot of an AH-64 Apache will ride on the outside of the helicopter so the passenger(s) can sit inside. At Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo, Aug. 25, Soldiers practice the tricky operation. Photo by Sgt. Stephen Proctor

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.
