March 6, 2010, Tokyo, JAPAN — NKH, an amateur group of aspiring web-livecasters, and Nicotech, an open Internet community of Sunday engineers, held Sora-Fes! and launched 150 of “Flying Panties.”

Sora-Fes, literary meaning “Sky-Festival” in Japanese, welcomed nearly 200 people who wanted to share their love for sky and flying toys. The 2000-yen($22) admission included a rubberband-powered ornithopter, or “Flying Panty,” which all participants made and launched together.

The brief movie about the event is shown at:

I was actually quite surprised some time ago when several wholesale suppliers let me know that they’ll be carrying the flying panties product. I guess these guys are ready to take over the whole of Japan.
