Ahhhhh your all a bunch of wimps. Can you Imagine how much fun that BMX would be? Obviously no one is taking it on the highway, but to tear around the yard! awesome. There is being "safe" and then there is living in fear. That helo though, Im with you guys on that one. I would however have to try it just once, around the block (or over).
 
Just saw this on a WI craigslist $750

You know I'm kinda thinking about this!
 
You think the bmx bike is unsafe??? What about the real helicopter with the XS650 motor in it? Anyone know if that thing actually flies? If it did, you wouldn't catch me getting more than 5 feet off the ground with it.

Hi Travis,
well, if I had my helicopter papers I'd try it.
But I'd insist on seeing an airworthiness certificate and a demo flight first.
And 5 feet off the ground isn't safe. A true helicopter can autorotate to a safe landing if the motor quits so long as it's at 5,000 feet or more.
 
Gary, that is awesome..

fredintoon, I'm not sure how to respond to that. If I knew how to fly one and saw an "airworthiness certificate and a demo flight first", I'd fly it too. However, if it were on CL let's say, and I knew how to fly one, I'd stay real close to the ground. :)
