Home Built Personal Helicopter Takes Flight For First Time

- This homemade personal helicopter is built on a 3 pole support structure. At the top are 2 rotor blades that rotate opposite of each other to prevent the common helicopter characteristic of having the aircraft pull to one side therefore needing to apply pedal input. This homemade helicopter does not have a contained structure fuselage but more of a small seat to sit on as the pilot is under the main engine housing and all controls are mounted on the pole structure / handles.
