Sure doesn't take a lot to impress you.

I'm really impress

If I say what's on my mind, they'll all say I'm a hater because I'm igbo...

Well all I can say is "Ingenuity at its peak, Keep it up Bro because it is in you"

God Bless Imo State

Bros leave matter. Nothing like hater here. These so called "creative" Nigerians should stop embarrassing us with these nonsense. Haba. Na by force? What is helicoptish about that trash up there??

Mtscheeew.

Rossikk:
It's obvious this guy is lazy and lacks real creativity and genius. He was more interested in building a caricature to pose beside as his 'helicopter' than actually taking the time to learn the elements of improvisational engineering and design that could help him build something worthwhile. A lot of info to build rudimentary flying craft can be found online for free, and it's disappointing the guy has not taken advantage of that.

Shiit beats me honestly.

The copter can move from place to place but can’t fly yet.

One day, naija go build TITANIC

https://www.naij.com/755553-nigerian-man-builds-helicopter-oyo-photos.html

I have noticed with quite positive interest how many young Nigerians want to build aircrafts?
As a young man I too had such interest, I spent many a vacation searching for more information from encyclopaedia about exactly what it is that makes an aircraft fly.

So I am making this long post to give anyone who has the interest some direction. I hope they can find this post as well when they search google.

A. So the first rule about Engineering is do not reinvent the wheel? Why?
Because the process of Optimization and refinement of any existing invention that is in major use has probably lasted more than five times your life time, some tens, or hundreds of of men with brains as sharp as yours or even brighter have contributed to it. It will take you more than a life time to replicate what these men have done.
I know your next argument is that you want to improve it, my answer is " great, learn what they have done, and start wherever they stopped". That short phrase is so hard to do that you will always find yourself falling into the temptation of " I'll just do mine"

B. So now to the art of flight proper. What makes a plane fly?
So these young boys spend so much time, welding, or using polyester to mould a streamlined shape for the airplane. That's good but that is secondary. An airplanes power is in the wings, for a helicopter it is in the blades. Understanding these two items Wings and blades is harder that designing the rest of the body of the aircraft.

C. So most hobbists just leave off the body and concentrate on the design of the airfoil? Am Wondering if you heard that right. The blades of a helicopter, and the wings of an airplane have a cross sectional shape which is called an airfoil. It is this particular shape that results in lower pressure above the blade or wing, and higher pressure below it, when ever air moves fast over the surface of a blade or a wings. This is the lifting force that makes an aircraft fly. Either the design or the construction of an airfoil is a difficult task, because it needs to be really accurate before it will work.

D. So many people before you have studied airfoil such that today we have a set of standardised shapes that young Engineers like yourself can copy after gaining some understanding of how they work from basic fluid mechanics or aeronautics. To learn more about NACA aerofoil series check the link http://people.clarkson.edu/~pmarzocc/AE429/The%20NACA%20airfoil%20series.pdf, google it as well.
To make an aircraft, make an aerofoil, the rest is easier. If you understand aerofoils said, you can even apply it to wind turbines, or boat/ship propellers.

Good luck as you search for more knowledge.

Did dis helicopter fly?. If yes he should be given more knowledge frm the country dat produced helicopter.

Ibadan helicopter? Abeg dis people are always full of surprises

Throw that thing inside waste bin. Nonsense.

he try fr d stress to build...thats all

This one na Elicoputeller

hahaha this can only happen in a useless country like nigeria.
Does this even looks like helicopter

Really hilarious! Only in Ibadan.

Mortiple:
How is this a Helicopter? Enough of these jokes!

UNTIL IT FLIES, he has really done nothing special and should not be eulogized.

If I may ask, where are all the 'ingenious' builders that were celebrated on Nairaland in the past?

Aptly put. U simply took the words from my fingers. Lol

CUM4WHAT:


lalasticlala

all I see is d guy using

the only ceiling fan in his house as d heliflopter propeller

Big body small Fan that tin no fit comot frm dah compound sef

you people will not kill me in this nairaland

Lol

Abeg abeg abeg wetin be this?

kayfra:
It's the effort that counts.

In management you reward result not effort. Even in the extant case, the effort here exhibited shows that the guy is a terrible panel beater. He can't fix simple body parts and make them straight.

And we there hailing him because his helicopter drives from place to place, just the way copters are made to drive.

For the records copters just take off and land. They don't taxi

9ice pix bro, keep it up

My only angst is the regurgitation is an expression of his poor imagination. I don't think this guy has seen a chopper before, maybe there are none in Ibadan cos if he had seen then i doubt he would be wasting out time with his rubbish

nabiz:
Africa! Africa!! Africa!!!, africa how many times have I called u? U started. With ur brother from the date of creation and till this 21 century u are still playing toy as a child while ur brothers are grown. What is ur problem africa, whose is responsible for ur failure africa? When will obi become a boy?

Na Boy or na Man wey Obi suppose become now

Nace5:

Big body small Fan that tin no fit comot frm dah compound sef

It would surprise you that guy would drive that thing on the road. Since the op said it drives from place to place.. lmao!

OP. Shey e dey fly

Lala pass me whatever u r on!





ThefakeStan

Can this one fly from Osun State to Ibadan?? Just asking!











The brown roof in the background, though.

Lolz, what's with all these rubbish people are building nowadays, have we come to the stage where we celebrate toys? How da heck is this a helicopter? Can it fly? Does it even work? I hope somebody will not build a plastic or wooden motorcycle and you will label it as if it were real. I support encouraging young engineers but please stop this jokes of a inventions please.

hahahaha..
The builder must have studied aeronautical engineering at any of the universities in Nigeria.
Oh, sorry, aeronot and not aeronautical engineer,please,because this is absolutely nothing (not).
Anyway, the helicopter can be used to shuttle Ibadan -Ore air routes. Ha hahahaha.
Ibadan airways...Hahahaaha

In as much as everyone especially me; know there is still much work to be done. A lil encouragement won't kill.... Try harder next tym bro. You are almost there.

Wonderful

9ja got talents

Before you enter this helicopter to fly you somewhere, do the following:

1) bid you family members farewell and say your last prayers;
2) ask God to forgive you all of your sins;
3) Write your will and get life insurance for your loved ones;
4) Plan your funeral ahead and make provision for payment of your funeral expenses; and
5) prepare to meet your maker.
