@@av8tor261 This is America since when do men follow instructions? LOL Seriously I have helped on a few homebuilt projects. Here is what can happen if you don't follow instructions. A gentleman i knew built a Rutan Vareze in his basement. In the manual it says if you do not have space that is open such as a garage be sure to measure the area to ensure you can complete the structure and transport to an assembly area. Well... this guy did not complete this step. He tried to remove the fuselage from the basement and boom it was 2 inches wider than the door and too tall to clear the ceiling in the stairwell. So we advised him if you remove the basement window and 1 row of block he could dig out and pass it through the hole. He would not listen and hired a backhoe to dig out the basement wall. 13,000 dollars later he got it out. At that point it would have been cheaper and smarter to cut it up and start over before you call in a backhoe. As you can guess there was fallout from this. He is now divorced as a result of his stupidity because he did not read and follow instructions. You could die from not following the directions exactly! So consider the size and scope of an aircraft before building one. Note ,after this situation was over we told him he was on his own. With his lack of judgement skills we did not want to be on the liability end of it crashing when he built it wrong. Work smart not hard.

The R-22 started out as an "experimental". Today, the California-made helicopter is among the best-selling aircraft of all time, WORLDWIDE. What would be "insane" is building and then flying without proper tools, training, or flight instruction.

They have a short range, that's the main drawback. 30 minutes flight time and you're done. There is also no safety feature. If your flight controller died or there was a fire (LiPo batteries FTW) then you'd become a meteorite pretty quickly. Even helicopters can autorotate to 'glide' relatively safely to the ground. Quadcopters have no such mechanism. Quad is too few anyway, you would want there to be 8+ rotors to allow for redundancy and fault tolerance. If a motor goes out you want to have most of your thrust still available. A quadcopter with a motor down _can_ fly if the FC knows how to compensate, but you lose lots of thrust and stability. I can see quadcopters being used for racing, much in the way micro FPV drones are now. It would be hella dangerous but you know there would be daredevils that love it. Akin to wingsuiting but with expensive hardware. A bit like 'pod racing' in Star Wars. High Gs, manual controls, fast reflexes, tricks, stunts, and zooming through narrow tunnels, that would be the magic of it.

Helicopters have fascinated me for 50 years, but I have just learnt something new that scares the hell out of me. I've only ever flown in a Bell Jet Ranger, and always been scared of piston-engined Helicopters.I guess that it's all those reciprocating parts that all need to work to perfection, and in unison. I recently read about the R44 that plummeted to earth in Hawaii. I did not know that (flying in pretty turbulent conditions), the main Rotor Blades can flex down low enough - to damage the perspex bubble, tearing-off the Rotor Blades, and also the Tail Section. All that it takes, is a stray high wind, and someone who doesn't respond to the Collective quickly enough. I'm not a pilot of any kind, but those Rotor Blades need to flex, but there seems to be no limits on the amount of flex. I am sure that all helicopter pilots know about this 'danger' - except the helicopter pilot who was taking passengers on that sightseeing tour.

But when the skids began to sink into the muck he landed on, he tried to lift it up again and the rotors ran out of energy causing him to wreck his machine. Oh well!
