Love gadgets? Bored at home? Well, why don’t you just build a helicopter. That’s what one man did in China. Wu Zhongyuan, 20, of Luoyang, China, built a real life helicopter from elmwood and steel pipes. Talk about being creative. Not only did he built the helicopter but he flew it 2,600 feet in the air.

The cost to make this helicopter was around $1,600 and took three months to finish. The engine was from an old motorcycle and was reinforced using the steel pips and wood. Wu, who’s known to be a gadget lover in his home town, has no formal education and used what he learned in middle school to make the helicopter. But now he’s actually gotten in trouble with Chinese authorities because flying 2,600 feet into the air could cause airspace problems. Wu had a great quote when asked about the copter and why he wanted to develop it, “had this dream from childhood of not needing to climb mountains anymore. I wanted to go to school in my own flying machine.”

You definitely flew my friend, too bad the Chinese government won’t let you have fun with it.
