According to local residents, Chotoev spent over a year gathering the necessary parts, which he ordered from abroad. The work on the airplane took place at his home with the help of friends. The pensioner invested about 35 thousand dollars into this project, which he saved from his pension as well as from selling livestock and agricultural products.
The weight of the homemade airplane is approximately 250 kilograms without cargo and about 500 kilograms with fuel. It is designed to carry three people and can ascend to an altitude of up to 4 thousand meters.
In the future, Kamchybek Chotoev plans to undergo training in Bishkek to obtain a pilot's certificate and official permission to fly.
