I was never satisfied with the flight or distance. Constantly pushing the limits.

And one day, it happened. The wind, the winding of the band, and the throw were perfect. Down the neighborhood street with more altitude and speed than ever before.

I also experimented a lot with weights, strings, and handkerchiefs, making parachutes. My dad was an electrician, so I had so many gadgets to perfect my science.
