A draft of a homemade plane became a real ultralight aircraft in just 8 months. It was constructed by Chinese farmer Shu Mansheng. This plane is 4.5 meters (15 feet) long. It has two engines. Shu spent about 730 USD to finish his aircraft. The trial flight took place on May 10 in Hubei province.
Sadly the plane crashed soon after taking off. Shu had his knee injured.
