Guo Xueguang, a rural resident from Henan province, has handcrafted a small fixed-wing aircraft which can fly as high as 3,000 meters, the Henan Daily reported on Wednesday.

The aircraft that Guo made in Tianjin cost him 60,000 yuan ($9,768) and nine months of work. It has undertaken 10 flights lasting 38 minutes in total.

Guo said after further test flights the aircraft will be sent back to his hometown to provide wedding and crop-spraying service for rural residents.
