Using Drones to Make a Flying X-Wing from Star Wars

We all want to be Luke Skywalker on the trench run in an X-wing starfighter. With each passing day, we're getting closer to making that dream a reality. Rodger Cleye made this 5-foot long model as a part of that ongoing effort.

It's made of PVC pipe which is why it looks hollow. That was necessary because anything more would have been too heavy for the 3 drone motors that make it airworthy. Check it out in action:

Uuuugh, that's a phrase that I've never thought about before, it's just always been in my lexicon since I've always heard it. BUT, after it just being pointed out, "how come?" is damn cringeworthy!!! Those two words together don't make any sense without the full "how did it come to that" phrasing. It's nonsensical gibberish, or it should be without our ingrained knowledge of what it's come to mean.
Shit. That's buried deep in my vocab as well. This'll be something that annoys me each time I catch myself saying it now. "Why?" serves the purpose in such a simpler manner that you have to wonder how "how come" ever even became an ingrained/accepted slang.
