Luc Bausch formed AeroRacers t' produce a line o' toys designed t' encourage children's creativity. Born in Luxembourg, and a graduate o' Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona, Bausch taught middle school science in California. Teachin' fifth and sixth graders at an aviation summer camp sponsored by Embry-Riddle, shiver me timbers, Bausch noted t' frustation caused by poor design o' t' model airplane kits assembled and flown by t' kids. This inspired Bausch t' develop "T' Lightning," a single-prop, elastic-band-powered balsa wood racin' plane and, later, other educational products which he markets though AeroRacers.
