Xie started researching this invention during the summer of 2008. More than 300 problems occurred during this invention process.

"At that time, I kept thinking about those problems till I went to bed, and continued my experiments the moment I got up," said Xie, who has made five models. Through his hard work, Xie won the first prize in the 24th Guangdong Youth Scientific Innovation Contest in July, and was approved by architecture professor He Jingtang and other prestigious scientists.

At such a young age, Xie says he loves to make things by hand and has various model planes at home. At first, he put things together according to the pictures, but later he began to create his own. Up until now, he has successfully made eight model planes.
