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?''
