Re: Chinese Wright Brothers
Amazing to me, because China does not really have a homebuilt aircraft industry, like the U.S. Even in Japan, the homebuilders are tolerated, but they can only fly in a tiny area along a river in Tokyo. It's like a 1 square mile area, but that is ALL they have. But they STILL build and fly. This guy must have bought plans from the U.S. or Europe and then scrounged parts to build an actual airplane. I'm impressed, but sorry it ended sadly. Hope he gets back in the air soon, and doesn't get in trouble with the Chinese authorities for building his own airplane. In the U.S. this would be some drunken hill-billy. But in China, where there is essentially NO PRIVATE AVIATION, this guy did a HUGE amount of work just to fly off of that road. I would be VERY curious to know who he is, and how things wound up for him. In the U.S. this guy would be a "Wrong" brother, but in my eyes, in China, he is something special.  |

Re: Chinese Wright Brothers
That's because we're both graduates from the CSOFMAP, our humour is pretty much alike. And, to be honest, I think this is bad news for you |

Re: Chinese Wright Brothers
The plane was made out of a utility pole so it was just going back to its people. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/570810 |

Re: Chinese Wright Brothers
So, he figured out the plane wasn't airworthy and/or his piloting skills weren't up to snuff yet he continued trying to fly. |

Re: Chinese Wright Brothers
He was passionate, as are all those who dream of flying Like that bro I can't remember the name of right now, he was a tailor and had built a suit that he thought would allow him to fly like a bird. He jumped from the Effeil Tower and crashed like a rock  The B&W video is all around the Internet but a quick search did not return anything on here. I'll look into it later, I find that strange. |
