Ethiopian man who was told he was too short to be a pilot uses YouTube to build his own plane which he wants to fly to his wedding
Asmelash Zeferu was 1cm too short to train to be a pilot
He used eBooks and YouTube tutorials to teach him how to build a plane
He got spare parts in a market in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa
His hope is to pilot the one-passenger plane 10 metres above ground
It can reach 145 kilometres per hour, but has no emergency features
