Kuldek, said he poured a lot of effort into the project work, which he began at 300-level.

Another video showed the aeroplane hitting an object when it attempted to fly during a test flight.
Captain Kuldek confirmed that the aeroplane crashed a few days to his project defence, but he rebuilt it again.
His words: I built and entire AIRCRAFT for my final-year project. If I pour out my heart concerning this project, I won’t finish typing but in the end, I’m super excited I was able to bring the dream of an ambitious 300-level boy to life.
“I’m really grateful to every single person that helped and supported me in one way or another.
Special shout out to Nelson Elijah, my emergency engineer and spare part supplier.
