Shanzhai of the day: Homemade Helicopter

We previously told you about one man's dream to build, and fly a tiny home-made helicopter between live power lines.

Sadly, like Icarus, Chen Zhao Rong's dream has had a sad ending.

Following a minor crash the local Police (and his wife) have grounded Zhao Rong's awesome Shanzhai chopper, and all we have left is this classic video clip.

Now if only someone would soundtrack it with R Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly"
