Bold assumption to make that a home-jobber would get you up into the sky.

I bet that if you were dedicated enough, you could probably make a home helicopter.
Whether you could survive the first or the tenth flight, that’s a different story, but I bet you could get into the air with something that was homemade.

Sure, there’s tons of plans out there for DIY helicopters you can get from the hobby aviation community. Usually the sticking point is making the rotor blades themselves, but I’ve seen some people get off the ground with carbon-fibre laminate blades. Not sure I’d trust them personally but it does work.
