Thanks to the geeks at RCsuperhero.com every Tom, Dick, and Homer can build a superhero mock up that flies like an RC plane. It’s heaps of pure joy and could very well inspire a few kids to become superheroes themselves. It’s relatively cheap too, costing a bit more if you purchase an entire kit.

With so much garbage floating in the ocean these days and forming small ‘islands,’ it’s a relief to learn about small time inventions like this new golf ball.
