Holy $#$ - eBay Copter

I hope no one has posted this yet...

Oh my god.

Look at ebay auction ID#4574014226

I would normally say something witty, but I am speechless. Is it a
scam? Perhaps an organic brain dysfunction? Or maybe this man is a
brave new form of life being weeded out my Darwin...

This is so far beyond anything I have experienced.

Scam? No, just a self deluded idiot. Note the description. He refers to
himself as "MTJ", then describes the sort of person who should fly it, but
then says "This chopper is not to be flown by anyone but MTJ", and then
admits that "This helicopter has never flown". In other words, it never
flew, it never will, and he doesn't know how even if it could.

He gets A+ for creativity : ^). Dangerous yes, but I think it has a
better chance of 'flying' than the G1.

It sure looks like a candidate for this year's Darwin awards. Even if
it gets off the ground, there isn't going to be hardly any cooling air
flowing over the engine and it'll seize in short order.

Replace the two drive chain with heavy-duty Stihl® units and it would make
and excellent portable sawmill!

I think MTJ is nuts.

After closer examination, I think it is too heavy for the horsepower
available, and as Anthony said below, no enough done to keep engine
cool.

What is scarey is that is actually has one bid.

I wonder if it would really fly. Looks like he used a steal frame, its
got to be heavy. He said he didn't create any plans. Just because it
"looks" like it could fly doesn't mean it will. My money says it just
shakes around a lot.

The guy who bid on it recently won auctions for an aviation headset, and
a video of ultralights in flight. I guess he's going to sit in the thing
in his living room, put on the headset, watch the video, and pretend
he's flying.
