Pretty cool it can actually be flown by a person (not RC). Talk about perserverance. 40,000 hours is 8 hours a day 7 days a week for over 13 years. Holy smokes.

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I am simply amazed by the craftsmanship and his perseverance. The name is appropriate.



"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

That is simply amazing.

I helped my dad build a Prescott Pusher in our garage as a teen. Seemed like a never ending project, which he eventually sold, unfinished, after I moved away for college. The amount of work that goes into building an aircraft is crazy.

Thanks for posting this.
