Chinese farmer Shu Mansheng, center, and his partner install propeller blades on his self-designed and homemade flying saucer before the first test flight in front of his house in Dashu village, Wuhan city, central Chinas Hubei province, 30 August 2011. Chinese farmer Shu Mansheng, 46, spent about 2 months completing his second homemade flying saucer. The round steel flying device, which cost more than 30, 000 yuan (US$4, 700), was the fifth aircraft made by Shu, a junior middle school graduate. It measures up to 5.5 meters in diameter, and is powered by eight motorcycle engines. However, Shu failed in flying the device due to oil leakage and some other mechanical malfunctions. Shu Mansheng is a mechanicaland aircraft enthusiast. He started automobile repair work 20 years ago and had completed 3 homemade planes since October 2009. He successfully made his third plane take off on May 10, 2010, but the plane kept flying only 20 seconds and crashed onto a lawn. Shu was slightly injured on his legs in the crash. Then he started to make his first flying saucer after his injury had recovered. But he failed again due to structural problems. This time, Shu failed one more time, but he expressed his confidence in further tryout and believed his flying saucer will be a success next time.
