-- -- -- -- -- -- Well I like to inspire people with my creations and my son who of the comic con artist graphic artists.
Challenged me to build a Superman with -- that would fly that could be.
Demonstrated in front of kids or or even down at comic con.

Because for 47 years I've been flying radio control airplanes.
How how different is it and realize how many that you mention how different is its lineup you know being as opposed to a model airplane.
Well they the aerodynamics are quite different as you might imagine like what I do a loop the backs out of the -- tends to fall out.
Anybody that has flown aircraft are done aerobatics well understand what I mean by that.
