Credit: SWNS / Craig Cullingworth<br /><br />A dad who was told he "wasn't clever enough" to be a pilot has built an incredible £25,000 flight simulator - in his spare room.<br /><br />Craig Cullingworth, 40, spent two years building his accurate model of a Boeing 737-800NG cockpit with mostly second-hand parts he sourced online.<br /><br />And using a computer program, he now takes to the skies with his "obsessed" daughter, Sophie, eight, from the comfort of their home in Leeds, West Yorkshire. <br /><br />The car painter's plan to create the replica came after his wife, Sarah, 38, got him a simulator experience at a local flight centre as a Christmas present.<br /><br />He then bought a cockpit shell - with all the dials and levers found on the real twin-engine aircraft - and painstinkally turned it into a fully working model.<br />
