A man from the Henan countryside has channelled the Wright brothers and built himself a small fixed wing aircraft that can reportedly reach a height of 3,000 meters.
Guo Xuegang constructed the plane in Tianjin and it took him 9 months and 60,000 RMB to complete it. So far it has already undertaken 10 successful flights of approximately 38 minutes each.
He intends to continue test flights and then return to his hometown to provide wedding and crop spraying services for local residents (hopefully not at the same time).

I assume by wedding services it means pulling a banner or something.

The plane in the pictures lacks space for a married couple, and has no wings?
