    Hey I am very excited to back this project, and I hope that my contribution will help push you towards your goal! I just funded my project FLOAT a documentary about indoor rubber band powered free flight model airplanes on Kickstarter and wanted to give back to the community. I plan on bringing a kite to fly with me when I come for the event!
