I would use the Zong engine to power a pusher prop on a gyrocopter or ultralight. Both are easier to fly and more reliable than a helicopter, IMHO.
Any one of those will be more useful than a handmade helicopter, in Africa.

I am actually probably going to donate it to the local Live Steamer train group in Yuma. However, I would prefer it went to a good home if someone wanted to take it, but it would involve picking it up in Yuma, AZ.
