I love the helicopter!  It even sounds like it is about to take off.

Thanks guys, lots of fun for a modest investment.  Quite a clever design, I thought originally the rotor blade rotation was wrong, but it is designed to pull air upward thus adding a bit of cooling to the cylinder.  So, it will certainly never fly but won't overheat either!

I like the solar helicopter and the helpers on the ground staff.

Looks, sounds and works GREAT, but my best guess it that it will never fly!?!?   ;c)

Love it Dave, and it even sounds like a helicopter running  8)  Would be a good attention-getter at the shows and might help to get some young ones interested...

Bought this last year from EBay UK but they are more readily available on AliExpress.  Inexpensive fun, but like all flame eaters they are sometimes tricky to get to work properly.
Dusted it off today for a little run:
