Video: Ali Asgari Lemjiri is "Sky Boy"
16-year-old boy Ali Asgari Lemjiri known as "Sky Boy," presents demonstrations of model aircraft flying.
Ali Asgari Lemjiri is listed in the Guinness World Records for the most remote-controlled (RC) fixed-wing aircraft manually flown simultaneously achieved by Asgari Lemjiri Ali (Iran), in Isfahan, Iran, on 11 February 2023.
In the attempt, two indoor planes flew simultaneously, one controlled by toes and the other by fingers, in an indoor hall measuring 40 x 20 meters in length and width and 10 meters in height.
Under and on the planes were the same color, so it was challenging for the pilot to recognize the planes. The attempt to record was made twice, the first attempt was 5 minutes and 47 seconds, and the second was 5 minutes and 51 seconds.
Asgari attempted this record of motivating teenagers who like to make the impossible possible and encouraging parents to view their children's abilities differently.
Ali believes the disabled can learn the hobby, or sport, of Remote Control (RC) model plane piloting with almost any type of disability and even participate in model aircraft flying world championship competitions.
