Daryl is a lead technician (resource person) at one of the LHSes here, and does a lot of scratch building and experimentation. He gets all excited about his rocket experiments back in the Philippines ;)
Here is one of his latest creations, an RC micro glider built using a kite that is available all over the place here.
