Meet Boaz Kosgey, who wants to build a helicopter.

Young Kenyans seem to be on the roll- at least the ones that are not on facebook or twitter busy hurling insults against one another. There is Peter Mbiria who is building a robotic car. Another is Boaz Kosgey, a budding young innovator from Uasin Gishu county. He is building a helicopter from scratch, or at least from scattered waste materials. He has so far spent kshs.30,000 on his helicopter, which is 75 percent complete. He has used a motor cycle engine to power the helicopter.  'I only do it in the afternoons or evenings' so, 'it doesn't affect my day to day work.' He told a reporter from NTV.  He hopes to fly the helicopter by the end of this year.
