Local farmer Shu Mansheng fastens a coke bottle, used as a fuel container, to his self-designed and made flying device in the cabin before his first test flight in front of his house in Dashu village on the outskirts of Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei province August 30, 2011. The round steel flying device, which cost more than 20,000 yuan, was the fifth model made by Shu, a junior middle school graduate. It is 5.5 meters in diameter, powered by eight motorcycle engines, but failed its test flight on Tuesday because the engines failed to work well together.
