Wonder if he is going to mass produce those?
WOW! Welded steel... that must be heavy.
There is nothing wrong with building your own plane but not only does this guy not have a clue, I don't think he has even met one.
The first problem that should be obvious to everyone is that it keeps falling apart on the ground. I might be concerned this would happen in the air and lead to some problems with directional control.
I guarantee that no weight & balance calcualtions have been done and he has no idea the center of the wieght needs to be near the center of the lift. Thankfully this beast is going to be too heavy to ever get off the ground.
That being said, he did make the news and lived long enough to be famous in his village. Maybe that was the ultimate goal in the first place.
What a great attitude. I hope the man is successful.

You got me there. At least I don't see this lead baloon getting far enough off the ground for it to be an issue.
I wish this plane would take over as Airforce One.

That's how Led Zep got their monicker.
Someone should donate to him a flying 2 seat kite plane. He would be a star.

Fortunately for the 'pilots' future, the machine probably won't achieve a high enough speed to hurt him.

You can still be hurt at 15 MPH!
