I should also be honest with you: the seller added the following: "Anyone who can find a buyer for this and subscribes to the YouTube channel will receive a $5000 Commission!!!" Guess who just subscribed? Is $30k too much to pay? Depends on how you look at it. Nowhere else in the world does a working helicopter come this cheap. Then again, it's a somewhat rusted '95 VW Golf with no rear suspension and a potential death trap. Would you be willing to risk it all by taking this thing out for a spin? And yes, it really does go airborne. Kind of. Creating enough vertical thrust is kind of an issue. And if one were to create enough thrust, how would you go about that whole landing thing without ending up being part of the yearly Darwin Awards?
