I’ll ride in a homemade Nigerian helicopter right after my Nigerian retirement bank account pays off.

My brother and I built an airplane using a motorcycle engine and scrap parts. Mom wouldn’t let us try it - he was 12 and I was 10...

For a four-seater it is a big aircraft, measuring twelve metres (39 feet) long, seven metres high by five wide.
Okay, so the guy is 15ft tall and the seats are 7ft wide each.
