On December 17, 1903, the first successful homebuilt airplane flew in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.  Today, there are still a lot of people building their own airplanes, even here in the Mid-South.  WKNO's Darel Snodgrass talked to some of them.

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
