the man flying it is Chen Zhao Rong a poor farmer with only a primary school education who had always dreamed of flying.

he made and welded all the body parts himself, checking his design against photos on the internet and bought a second hand motor. overall the cost amounted to about RMB70,000 (less than US10,000)

We have to admire the man not hate on him.I live in Europe and from my estimate, its the regulations here that encumber these sorts of development.

People are tied up by the system thats designed to protect us.

Sorry I didn't see the first video. 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.

It's not a helicopter either, its an autogyro. BIg difference in that the main rotor of an autogyro is unpowered and it has a powered pusher prop at the back. I'm guessing a two stroke given the high pitched, high rev sound of the engine.

Sorry it should be helicopter, but is it meaningful to argue whether we should put the last name in front of or after the first name?

This is a helicopter, not a glider, you fucking idiot. And his name is Xu Bin, not Bin Xu. You're stupid.
