A Chopper is Born (2004)

Posted By : gfg123 | Date : 27 Jun 2010 23:30:23 | Comments : 8 |

A Chopper is Born follows the step-by-step build of a fully functioning helicopter from a kit - a Rotorway Exec 162F, the world's most successful helicopter kit.

The aircraft takes more than 500 man hours to complete and we follow it from manufacture at the factory right the way through to painting and upholstery.

Presenter Mark Evans also travels to the Rotorway factory in Phoenix, Arizona, to see the components manufactured from scratch.

Osh Kosh, near Chicago, is the setting for the world's largest air show. The annual jamboree for North American aircraft builders and restorers, it attracts over 30,000 aircraft and visitors from around the world. Here we meet other amateur enthusiasts who have built and flown their own rotor-craft, from kit builders to one-off designers.

This looks quite interesting. Thank you.

BTW, the purpose of screenshots is to show the video quality. Using methods like that screenshot grabber does not accomplish this as it shrinks the size of each screenshot down so far you cannot judge the quality. A screenshot should be taken at native resolution, the best way I know of is to use VLC (Right click the VIDEO_TS folder or ISO file and Open With VLC), it outputs in a lossless format (PNG) at the native resolution of the video stream, 1 shot per file. You should be able to look at a screenshot and tell what that individual frame will look like when you are playing the files after the download.
