bro if anything this helicopter will chop of someone's head or limb, its such a joke its so pathetic, i have seen west africans doing this, atleast let these delutional people attempt to engineer their own motorcycles or even cars, but i guess the leadership there just wants money and funding and are so desperate to put the average uneducated peoples lives at risk, zero planning or anything has gone into this and it is very apparent , please dont embarrass the somali people with this abomination

[@voidavoid338]

walals please focus on making a motor bike or a car before u attempt making helicopters, stop being so delusional
