The home of a farmer surnamed Ruan has become an attraction since he started building a helicopter in his courtyard in the city of Wenchang, Hainan province.

Many curious neighbors, friends and relatives have stopped by to check out the helicopter, which is almost complete.

Ruan expects to carry out a test flight before the lunar new year on February 7.

The 4-m-long, 2-m-high, helicopter cost Ruan more than 70,000 yuan ($9,600). He has been working on it for a month.
