The materials needed to get airborne are not that difficult. It would just require a basic understanding of aerodynamics and planning (or trial and error) I can believe it.

The first is a helicopter, the rest are autogyros. One comment I would make though is that the autogyro looks like it could be lacking in longitudinal stability - a common problem amongst amateur designed gyros and a major contributory factor to the high accident rate amongst these aircraft. Adding a long tail boom with a large horizontal stabiliser is a good solution to this problem, of course the CG position must be given careful consideration also. The ELA-07 Gyro is a good example of this. Sorry I didn't see the first video. The first is a helicopter, the rest are autogyros.
