Construction site helicopter

111k Kerbango  4 days ago

So, my uncle Vinny, was driving along and came upon a large pile of construction equipment just laying on the side of the road.
It must have "fallen off the back of a truck."
Lots of neat stuff... 2x4's, a pallet of bricks, tools, etc.
Then Vinny got drunk and built a helicopter out of it.
This here, is it.
But he got so drunk that he didn't see the line,
"Must go beyond mach 1 (1234 km/h)". Darn.

Instructions:
Raise VTOL slider for up. 
Lower VTOL slider for down. 
Raise throttle for forward. 
Pitch, yaw and roll are controlling.
