I don't even know where to start. I feel like a kid in a candy store! I would like to suggest that the Giants take up a collection to send this poor schmuck to one of the R/C flying schools for a week. He does have some mental disabilities and struggles everyday to fit into society. I'm just happy that he doesn't have to wear that football helmet around anymore!

Nice flight, up until the sudden stop. Not just a part number, a sh!tload of part numbers, some blood and sweat, and most importantly, TIME.
