I understand all the negativity about building your own helicopter. It is possible though!!. Your biggest challege will be the control over the main rotor. You might consider building one with a fixed pitch, that makes the mechs a lot easier to build. Maybe you can get your hands on an old "Kavan Alouette 2" for ideas. If you do decide to build it yourself, buy a lathe!!
