That nails it exactly. It shows ambition, guts and drive. All the elements required to succeed.
It's better to build a crappy hovering device with the tools that you've got and the materials that you've got than to sit and comment about how crappy it is.
I've built a fair bit of stuff in my life and not always in a way that was 'responsible engineering' (see 'plane of rotation' comment below, there is an element of experience in there) and it strikes me that if the Wright brothers had not existed that it is guys like this that we would remember as the Wright brothers instead.

Exactly, very correctly put. To be doing something is a lot better than commenting while sitting on the bylines. No matter how bad it is, building something material into existence is thousand times better than just talk. When effort and work is multiplied over time, the sheer volume of effort and work brings in success sooner or later.
