Creativity At It Peak:Ethiopian Man Builds His Own Plane After Being Rejected By Aviation School For "Being Too Short"


Africa breeds very rare talents. An Ethiopian man Asmelash Zeferu who was told he was too short to be a pilot used what he learnt from YouTube to build his own plane which he wants to fly to his wedding this weekend. He defied all odds to build his handcrafted K-570 light aeroplane which he learnt from tutorials online and Youtube. 


Despite support from his family, he said to CNN: 'the biggest challenge in building my aircraft was the people around me... people calling me mad. People were asking 'How can you build an aircraft in Ethiopia? In Africa?''
