Nigerian Man Builds Helicopters Out of Junk

October 21st, 2007 | Category: Gadget News

A 24-year-old Nigerian physics undergraduate named Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi has an interesting DIY hobby: He BUILDS HELICOPTERS OUT OF JUNK — mostly junked cars and motorcycles and even a crashed 747. At least one of his helicopters has a camera pointing down that sends video to a cockpit screen, so he doesn’t land on small children or furry animals. He funds the operating by earning money fixing PCs and cell phones.
