Done for the sheer thrill of the challenge
Suitable bonkers.
If ever there was a bit of kit with shed written all over it then the Box-O-Copter is definitely it - a flying plastic toolbox knocked together by the chaps at FliteTest. The Box-O-Copter Apart from being agreeably silly, the Box-O-Copter was built on the principle of "brain not frame" - investing cash in avionics and …
..will it carry tools or equally important, a six pack of beer?
As for making unorthodox items fly, as my son and I share the rewarding, but expensive hobby of RC, we've seen radio controlled lawnmowers that fly, however they are based on the principle of basic aircraft design.
I also recall the flying dildo based on an RC chopper that invaded a Russian press conference a few years back (Video can be viewed on YouTube)

I don't like to use expletives but I think I could be excused this time if I did. Here I am sat in an office with an overwhelming desire to just get up and leave, go to my workshop, hit things with a big hammer and give my new angle grinder a thorough workout and you publish this article.
I'll be walking up the walls before lunchtime.

Sod that. Lunchtime, half a bottle of wine and the afternoon is looking just about bearable. I reckon if I ate more slowly I'd manage a full bottle and then I could write off the afternoon completely.
Ya sabes, aqui, la vida es bella. Especially the afternoons.
Flying monkey FTW!
Was told by a maker in Australia years ago that almost all the folks in a given area down there get to play in city provided shops called sheds...sort of like a public library w/power tools.
IMHO= Here in the USA we go out to the shop n make stuff...makers not sheddies, but hey... I'll take it cuz sheddies sounds kinda cool...from an aging hipster maker...RS.
