The Dream of Flying: Felix Arcadia's Journey to Build His Own Aircraft

Felix Arcadia, a 24-year-old orphan with an arts degree, is building a microlight aircraft named PW One in honor of his late mother. Despite financial challenges, Felix has self-taught himself aircraft construction using textbooks and magazines. He is using a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine and locally sourced components. Felix practices flying using a flight simulator, as he lacks real flight experience.
