I know myself, with two left hands, I can't even hammer in a nail in the wall without the whole city falling into a sinkhole. But even if I was the best DIY guy around, would I go and ride, and then fly my own self-made airplane. Even if it's based on a motorcycle?

Not me.....

Zhang, a farmer who dropped out of primary school in his early years, spent around 2,000 yuan ($321) to build a plane around a motorcycle, using wood and plastic boards. The plane, which took 11 months to build, failed in its test flight. Picture taken November 29, 2012. REUTERS/China Daily
