Chandra Siwakoti Sharma <http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/assam-mechanic-builds-jugaad-helicopter -awaits-clearance/story-VwNKt4UQGF8f6Ra6kUnUkM.html> , a school dropout, built a helicopter that he says can carry two people 30-50ft above the ground. Sharma could not study beyond class 3 because of poverty, but invested all his savings and even sold his land to follow his dream.
"We want to encourage a person who has conquered adversities to make a helicopter without any degree in aviation. But we want to go by the rules first," said Victor Carpenter, the district's deputy commissioner. _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
