Two Chinese aviation fans have successfully assembled a working water plane of their own. The two men were left celebrating after their makeshift craft recently enjoyed a successful maiden flight in Guangzhou, southern China's Guangdong province. With a wingspan of just 2 metres the plane can carry two passengers, however the fuel tank is positioned just above the head of the pilot. Hardware store owner Xiong Tianhua, 34, was the leading designer and maker of the plane, alongside partner Chen Baolong. The pair have assembled many planes over the past ten years, but this is the first time they have attempted to make a water one.
