Man builds small plane in memory of his father

A resident of Changchun city, Northeast China's Jilin province, has built a small plane in memory of his late father who had been a pilot for 29 years.

Yang Shijun, 43, spent about 100,000 yuan ($16,000) over one year in building the plane which he has named after his father, Jinhai.

It has a range of 120 kilometers an hour and a cruising speed of 80 kilometers an hour, and Yang said he plans to conduct a test flight on his father's birthday in September.
