I know the video was not fake

WOW.... Your making me dust off some of the cob webs in my brain for
that one.

I've seen the video and if my feeble memory is correct it was on a
TV program some years ago.

It was on either Discovery Wings or the History Channel about a year ago. I
don't know much more than that, but I think your recollection was pretty
clear. You might try one of their webs sites. I'm thinking I saw it on
Wings, shorty before they switched to the Military Channel.

I have, however found some pretty wild video out there. Has anyone
else seen the novice helicopter owner go for a little spin in his
Hughes 296A?
I tried in vain to find any NTSB information on it and I think it was
not reported.
Had it been I think the guy would have faced some serious fines.
As if turning your Helicopter into a ball of wrecked machinery wouldnt
be bad enough...
Guy was lucky to have walked away!
I've also tried to determine the exact N number from the video but
couldnt be sure.
I wanted to cross reference it with the FAAs registration database
available online.

you might want to ask over at alt.binaries.pictures.aviation

They have a pretty good group over there who might be able to point you
towards the videos your looking for or some kind sould there might
actually have the video and could post it for you..

Thanks - that's very helpfull!
BTW - I looked at some other postings on this group and in particular
found a lot of acusary discussions about the supplier for Mini-500
kits.
If you ever see a mini 500, run away!
I checked the NTSB database and the results were GRIM! I'm suprised the
FAA hasnt grounded every last one!
When I was part owner of a skydiving operation the FAA came down on us
for not having wheel doors on the tailgear of our Twin Beech. Shees!
We operated the thing with the freaking passenger door removed! But
they threatened to red tag it for the little wheel door for the
tailwheel!
