Xie Baogang, of Jingxian county, Hebei province, takes his homemade plane out for a spin, on April 25, 2012. Except some key parts like engine and radiator, Xie made the plane himself using aluminum alloy materials. The fuel for the plane is composed of ordinary gasoline for cars and a little engine oil. The plane consumes almost the same amount of gas as ordinary cars. The rural youth's creativity and courage wins applause from local people. [Photo/CFP]
