Chinese Man Builds His Own Plane Out of Junk



Quote:
After two years of hoarding scrap metal and recycling unwanted goods, including an old industrial fan, the flying fanatic realised his boyhood dream of owning his very own aircraft.
The farmer's lofty idea has taken off in a big way after assembling the amateur aircraft from scratch in the grounds of his farm in Changbai, northern China, with the help of his family.

Despite being dismissed by critics as just a flight of fancy, a determined Li Jingchun followed his dream and now wants to learn how to fly the plane for real.
'I've always loved planes since I was a little boy,' explained the 58-year-old.
'It is my dream to fly a plane as a pilot with passengers in it. I'll get there somehow no matter what it takes.'
Li Jingchun has run up bills of over £4,000 attempting to get his project off the ground to date.
But despite his huge outlay, the madcap engineer has only just started work on the plane's interior - meaning it may not be the most comfortable ride of all time...
However without an engine for his aircraft - and lack of a pilot's license - his chances of getting off the ground unfortunately look terminal.

Just watch: To cut costs, pretty soon the airlines are going to start buying these planes for their fleet.
