    All the big helicopter corporations trying to stop us building an unauthorised helicopter with all these fake news.

    Don’t listen to these news, trust and build your own helicopters.

      I know you’re joking, but you can actually legally build and fly your own gyrocopter without a pilot’s license. You do still have to file flight plans, and stay TF out of restricted airspace, but I considered making one back in the late 90’s.
