Shanzhai of the day: homemade airplane

Ah, homegrown engineers, how we love thee. We'd previously witnessed someone building their own homemade helicopter, so we guess news of a homemade airplane wasn't far along. This one was the result of 150,000RMB and six years of effort by a Chongqing Telecom officer named Peng Cong. What's most amazing, his salary is only 2000RMB a month, which means that he basically put every penny into making this plane. We wonder what he did for food.

Telecom engineering is not even remotely near aeronautical engineering. If this guy built the aircraft from scratch (not from a kit), then this is quite a feat. I guess he ate at his parents, and probably lived with them as well. LOL!
