Do you like making DIY engineering projects, and living on the edge at the same time? Well then, you’ll want to watch this inventor who built himself a manned multicopter! He has posted his exploits as he developed his invention on YouTube.
This video, is the 10th part of his multicopter journey. It’s a DIY eight-prop copter that finally gets off the ground with its rider. The spinning blades look really dangerous, even the pilot remarked that he planned to exercise utmost caution when he was preparing to ride the copter.
Here’s the complete video, with multiple angles (P.S. it takes off at time: 4:40):

The pilot remarked, “As it turns out, it’s failing every time I have a flight session on it. So when everything works, I get in it as fast as possible to get to fly a little bit before anything happens. That’s really not a good way of handling safety but it worked for me today and I’m really glad I did it.”
