As per reports, the 5-year-old boy has become Guinness world record holder for being the youngest person ever to pilot a plane.
Nicknames as Duoduo, the boy took a 35-minute flight in an ultralight aircraft over Beijing's Wildlife Park on August 31 with a coach but the coach reportedly said that Yide operated the flight all by himself and he offered little help in the young boy's flight.
A native of Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province of China, Yide took the solo flight after undergoing training for less than one-month training course at a private pilot tourist farm in Hebei province's Langfang that cost his father 30,000 Yuan (4,905 US dollars).
The young boy had hogged limelight in February 2012 last year when a video that was posted by his family, showed him running in snow at a street in New York in -13 Degree Celsius temperature. His father He Liesheng, who works in a private textile company as a manager in Nanjing, even had claimed that he climbed the Fujiama mountain in Japan in 15 hours that too amid heavy rains.
The young boy had even studied all the lessons meant for primary students from first to third grade and he is all set to attend fourth grade students at Experimental Primary School of Nanjing University of Science and Technology.
His father's strict training schedule for the young boy had earned him the tag of 'Eagle Dad' in China and he had even published the details of boy's grueling training schedule on China's microblogging site Weibo while his critics accuse him of using his son to gain fame.
