We saw tons of amazing things at the World Maker Faire last month, but one of the coolest was Brooklyn Aerodrome. You may already be familiar with the group, as they taught a 3rd Ward class back in the summer of 2010, but if not, here's a quick summary: they build remote control airplanes out of nothing more than recycled plastic, coat hangers, zip ties, velcro and some simple electronics.
