Am I missing something? Is this easy to do? Doesn't manufacturing a helicopter require very expensive and sophisticated equipment and supply chains? I'd think that would leave fingerprints all over.
On the other hand, when I watch videos of boat building, it seems like it can be done by small shops with a few people. So maybe there is some equivalent tier of manufacturing for aircraft?

I found the story of this boat particularly interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cythera_(yacht) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cythera_(yacht)
