The sticks seemed to shake an awful lot that he had keep his hands off of it from time to time. But hey, it's a flying machine no doubt!
Those videos are of 2 different machines. The first is a helicopter, while the second one is a fixed-wing airplane...a home-made ultralight of some kind.
The first machine is probably a gyrocopter, free rotating blades provide lift with a pusher propeller system. That's why it takes off by running along a road. He's taking his hands off the stick to show how stable it is. The second is definitely a different machine and it's a helicopter.
In that case, the question is, which did the guy invent for 20,000 RMB? I'll get to work on my own after I get back from vacation!
Oops... bad use of words. He didn't really "invent" anything. Let's just replace that with "build".

Half a year ago i read an article about "Number one producer of helicoptors" something something.
