Yang Shijun and his friends make routine checks on his homemade plane in Changchun. Yang downloaded the design from the Internet and took more than one year to build the plane at a cost of over 100,000 yuan (16,000 U.S. dollars). The plane has a wingspan of 9.5 meters, is five meters tall, and 2.5 meters long. It has a maximum speed of 120 km per hour. Yang built the plane in memory of his late father who was a pilot for 29 years. The plane bears the number 3695, the flight ID of his late father. (Photo/xwh.cn)
