A magical story that seems too coincidental for it to be true, but
lo and behold, by the grace of God with proof, it is as you will
see, for us all, to enjoy together.
Come and listen to a story about a man named Jeff, an inspired young
man with a passion to know God’s love and faithfulness, and oh yes, it is
all true! I think you will really enjoy what I have to share.”
“I have something I want to show you.” ”You really have to see this!” A
quote from the Movie: “Men in Black”.
A true story of incredibly fantastic coincidences’, dreams that came true
as well as still taking place as time goes by. Miraculous occurrences’,
answers to prayers desperately needed, ups, downs, twists, turns and
even a feeling of are we there yet? A mysteriously magical fairy tale like
story almost too unreal to believe, yet with documented proof at many
levels, literally hundreds of witnesses and actual landmarks, it becomes
very clear from all the evidence to realize it is true to the point in which
nobody can deny! You could say this all came about on a” wing and a
prayer” from father to son! How my childhood past times and passions
transformed into my Dad’s own hopes and dreams.
Since February 9th, 1964 when the Beatles phenomenon reached the
United States with their debut on the Ed Sullivan show, my brother
Frank bought Beatles records on his way home from school every week
there was a new 45 LP. Since we had new music of the Beatles we loved
to listen to, we took all the other 45 LP vinyl records in the backyard we
called the quarry and threw them for fun. It naturally developed from the
pleasures of hobby-like entertainment that was the seed of fascination
that stayed with me all these years to discover with Gods precious help a
way to make the coolest flying disc ring with wings on the Planet.
My childhood predilections, the prayer of hope with my Dad, the
mysterious occurrences’, miraculous breakthroughs and undeniable
blessings from God our Father and our lord Jesus.
1. Throwing 45 LP records in the quarry in North Reading,
Massachusetts, using the super thing maker molding Butterflies and
Dragons. My natural predilections predestinated for something to
help people in the future.
2. The prayer with my Dad in 1994 to invent something to take care of
the family?
3. The Sermon, “It Begins with a Dream’, by Pastor Joel Hubbard at
www.vccsaugus.org on asking God what are our gifts. This Sermon
woke me up to seriously ask God, “What are my gifts that would be
truly useful to help others.”
4. The idea of curiosity of “What if I put wings on a flying ring, what
would it do? “It does something wicked, cool!
5. The greatest Patent Attorney I could ever imagine to protect the
concept in intellectual property; Janine Geraigery Wallace. The level
of professional expertise, the full service of communications with the
most reasonable rates anyone could ever ask for to get the patents
and trademark information processed and accepted with the
www.uspto.gov .
6. Gregg Landry, Scott Miller, Marybeth, Irina, Bam, Bob Shure, Dan
Shure, Steve Wychorski, Mike & Marie Price, John Graney, Joe
Bellitti, Jackie Emanuel, the Wiltshire family, the Nee family, Howie
Johnson, Brad James, Peter and Robby Munro, Kevin Davis, Cal,
and Cam Frank.
7. This group of friends and family directly enabled this project to
become more than just a dream.
8. The fact that this is not just a business spawned by an invention in
exchange for royalties’ as is the case in most new ideas brought to
the commercialized world market.
9. We are manufacturing this cutting out the middlemen of licensing
agents and brokering agents that drain the profits and hinder the
entire process of growth because of lack of vision, true passion or the
natural tendency of complacency.
“The Wicked Wing Flying Thing ®”
The name of the trademark ® registered magically translates from Latin
to English into:
“Pennies from Heaven,
Flying in an event or in occurrences’, as an object, fact or circumstance
of a thing.
“Celesta’s + penne’s + volatiles’ + res.”
Chosen by Marybeth and Irina:
10. The blue surf board, how I made, saved it and how it fits perfectly
into the back of the packaging, as if it was meant to be.
11. The Lego Block ® I found right after researching ABS plastic.
12. The radius corner triangle I found 18 years after John Graney had
me cut it for the table hockey games I built, then finding out the same
day I picked up the Cad file program mold, that the triangle fits inside
the mold as if it was cut by a laser.
13. The address of my Dad’s last job was 100 Arch Street, Boston, MA
and when Janine had to find me another Patent attorney it turned out
to be Adam Bruno at 101 Arch Street, Boston, Ma.
14. The penny I found on my lounge chair, 4 days after researching
where the phrase, “pennies from Heaven comes from.” before I read
the date on this penny, I had the feeling it was a 1994 penny, the year
my Dad passed away and it was.
15. My wife, Marybeth visited Russia with me and the Zero Kilometer
marker depicts in a coincidentally strange resemblance to our
website artwork designed by Gregg Landry and Alex Pham.
16. How God miraculously helped us overcome many obstacles that
hindered our progress.
17. Part 1 & part 2 of the first complete mold Black Beauty and the
Spice Bush Swallow Tail Butterflies that were seen on many
Milestone occasions in the most oppornitune places in precarious
locations.
18. The Book:
The Adventures of the Wicked Wing Flying Thing with
www.arborbooks.com
19. The new concept of “The Rescue Wing” lifesaving alternative
attachment.
20. The Smithsonian Institute as our top buyer! The most prestigious
array of gifts shops in the world.
These coincidental occurrences, I just mentioned, are just the parts of
the story that came to mind or are the ones I felt that important to share.
Ironically I sent a copy of this story to www.ripleys.com ( Ripleys’
Beilieve it or Not) and they refused to believe this story was true enough
to inquire about it as a story of interest. Well isn’t that just too bad, too
bad for them. We will edit it and publish it to make available publically
for anyone really interested and that is good enough for us.
I personally have not felt closer to God as in this time of my life.
Probably because I felt so much how difficult it has been doing
something new that was a constant learning experience in a world
that doesn’t always let things be easily accomplished.
That is where God gracefully has helped me to fall deeper in love
with him and how he showed me things that not only were such a high
honor in witnessing but how I learned Jesus is really in control of the
present, future and every bit of all creation for his ultimate purposes
with thoughts of peace toward us in love.

Thanks to Janine we have a: Provisional Patent application
submitted first, the trademark, the Utility Patent pending and the
Design Patent has become issued as of march 26th, 2013.” Design
Patent No.: D678, 959 S” at: www.uspto.gov
Nineteen years after saying to me,” Jeff invent something to take care of
the family,” Shazam, thanks be to God it happened!
April 1994, Louis John Ventola, my Dad, sat down with me under a tree
and said” Jeff, you’re like MacGyver, invent something to take care of
the family”. 17 years later I procured a Provisional Patent application,
a Utility and Design Patent No.: “D678, 959 S” on this flying disc
invention.
A love letter from my Dad, Louis John Ventola 1994
Jeff Nickname: McIvor: You are great at inventing things...
A creative mind is a good mind.
Love is very important to you as it should be.
I love you very much partner --We worked together good.
Stay particular about your work.
It will never hurt you --
Stay close to your family and
Try to help those who are in need.
Dad always wants you to be happy and
To have the love you so cherish...
Stay close to God as He will lead you --
Stop occasionally and spend
A few minutes with me.
Love,
Dad
Janine Geraigery Wallace should rightfully be noticed in History as one
of the most affectively brilliant Patent Attorneys in United States.
I had the great privilege of having her expertise with her extreme
generosity and kindness in the patent process.
Janine seemed to understand this invention without seeing it first hand
out on an open field, yet she had the total vision of its advanced
attributes and the value in what they truly are beyond what has ever
been. Janine completed over 500 Patents and Copyrights’.
The insight to what this flying disc can do and do so radically Janine
eloquently drafted so beautifully that it brought tears of joy by the way
she documented the Provision application, the Utility Patent and the
Design Patent.
In honor of my Dad with God’s help for this project to grow we will help
the homeless people through the www.brm.org The Kingston House
rescue Mission at 39 Kingston Street in Boston, Ma.
As unbelievable as it seems, the truth and concrete evidence is so real to
a level, in which, nobody can deny!
Our website is at: www.wickedwingflyingthing.com and we are on
www.youtube.com at: http://youtu.be/p9I9BE-n12U
The Stradivarius of flying discs!
This is the Cad file programmed model programmed by John Graney so
we could test and approve it to make the injection mold versions. Thanks
be to Jesus it worked better than we hoped!
This is the program design master piece of John Graney and Gregg
Landry combined efforts by which without these two brilliantly gifted
experts, this would not have been possible!
I have my own talents as we all do and this is the example of how we can
work together in unity to do so much more for the good of this world.
I am so thrilled and amazed how fortunate to meet all these wonderful
people that took their time to help on this project.
The Table Hockey game 1995
Edward Wallace of NASA I came in contact with through the internet
and he has been briefed on this design and on a personal level endorses
it.
I guess you could say this is where the Wicked Wing Flying Thing™ has
made first contact on Earth with NASA.
I received a letter of congratulations from the Mayor of our City, Gary
Christenson in Malden, Ma. On the Invention and its intention to do
fund raising with an Event game of a show called “Aerial Ricochett”,
Mayor Christenson of our City, Malden, Massachusetts, said, “He
hopes we can formulate fund raising Events in the future to help our
community.”
Thanks to Edward Wallace, I was able to make a kind of first contact
with a NASA official on this invention designed flying disc.
The Smithsonian Institute has expressed their support with the
connection to the buyers at www.eventnetwork.com in distribution upon
manufacturing with www.injectedsolutions.com
We hope to set up a display at the www.mos.org to have a designated
area where children and adults alike can experience first-hand
something new, futuristic and wicked cool!
I have a trademark on the name and Logo in Black with the
www.uspto.gov . Wicked Wing Flying Thing ™.
1. To be played best on an artificial turf Football field, a Soccer field
or level grass.
2. 2 Soccer nets at each end zone. The sizes of the nets are optional.
100 yards apart is our recommendation.
3. 2 goalies with long pole landing nets to catch and all other players
get fishing nets to protect long shots and help the game move fast with
added control.
4. 5- 10 players per team. Any amount is up to those playing.
5. The length of the game is up to those playing. 30 – 60 minutes stop
time could be the amount of time allowed.
6. The object of the game is to pass the “wicked wing” to team
players and throw it at the opposing net to score.
7. All players are allowed to score, even the goalies.
8. A maximum of passes can be established if it adds to more action
toward the nets and it is allowed to intercept passes from the opposite
team.
9. No one is to throw it directly at an opposing player and common
courtesy must be part of the natural game play.
10. If it lands on the ground, the first player to touch it gains
possession but must throw it directly to the opponent’s goal.
11. No direct body contact is recommended or needed for that matter.
Any contact awards the offended team a penalty shot and a warning
goes to the person the penalty is directed at, 3 violations and that player
has to stop playing. Touch-style Ariel Ricochett similar to touch
Football can be an optional way to play.
12. Highest score wins. 1 point for each goal and 1 point for penalty
shot goals.
13. All rules and the game design are solely up to the players in the
spirit of safe, competitive fun.
14. This is the basic template for a game specifically designed for the
wicked wing because of the speed it can travel (100 yards in
approximately 3 seconds) with accuracy.
Designed to have a blast of hilarious fun out in the fresh air with as
many friends you can find!
Got Vision ?
“Aerial Richochett” could possibly be a new futuristic sport concept
designed for spectators’ to be thrilled with the way this thing flies,
curves, floats and can be thrown aggressively fast when prompted at
will to throw at Soccer nets spread out exactly 100 yards as in Football.
Long pole fishing nets are the equipment used by only the goal tenders
and the 2 defensive players in the back-field to enhance the games fast
action intensity. What a concept!
Time will tell and anyone that desires to enjoy this will decide for
themselves what can be the games that make the most sense.
We are presently preparing to make a fantastic series of
www.youtube.com Video’s to enjoy at home.
It Begins with a Dream.
January 3rd, 2010, It Starts with a Dream!
The Church home I attend is at www.vccsaugus.org
In Saugus, Ma.
Joel Hubbard is the Pastor. One Sunday a powerful message of
Gods’ loving faithfulness especially touched my life to understand
our spiritual gifts He gives to help everyone.
The Sermon is in the archives’ on the Church website under the title:
“ It Begins with a Dream.”
I prayed that week about knowing what my gifts were and January 22,
2010 that is when the thought came to me “ what if I put wings on a
flying thing , what would it do?”
I have sculpting skills, a wide imagination, I am fascinated with
flying things, I have always grew up designing things that interest my
curiosity for fun.
I would love to help the world, be an inspiration to children,
encourage other people and give back to the community on top of
helping my family let alone fulfilling my Dad’s dream wish request in
1994.
This has been the most worthwhile and exciting thing I ever had the
complete joy of being part of, knowing God is helping me because His
faithfulness endures forever.
Zero Kilometer GPS Marker in Red Square Moscow,
Russia
This Russian Landmark strangely enough has many specific
coincidences I would like you to see for yourself. You might see ones I
haven’t noticed yet?
1. The Zero Kilometer GPS Marker has three distinct shapes within
each other. Our website artwork made over 8 years later by Alex
Pham has three distinct shapes within each other.
2. The corners of each are at the same angle.
3. There is writing on the middle of each.
4. There is an outer edge and an inner edge on both.
5. The 8 points, 8 years?
6. The hand that looks the same as a Canadian goose is the same
shape to the inside of the Brass Marker.
7. Before noticing these similarities, my wife Marybeth and I were
here at this very spot in Moscow, Russia 2002 and I had mentioned
to John Graney if he could make a Brass model and film it for my
website, after asking him that is when I remembered, Oh my God
look at these coincidences of peculiarity! It doesn’t have to mean
anything it is just wicked awesome to be part of the story.
I asked John Graney at www.surfacesolutions.com if he could make a
Video of milling out from a block of brass to the Cad file program
designed to build the Wicked Wing Flying Thing™ to music.
He said he could but we will do this in the future when it is practical.
Then a few days after we had this discussion I happened to be flipping
through our photos in an album from Russia and I noticed a picture of
my wife Marybeth tossing a coin for good luck at the Zero Marker Brass
Plague in Moscow, Russia and I realized to my astonishment the Brass
design looks just like the Wicked Wing Flying Thing!
Basic detailed coincidences right down to the four wings and the three
designs within each picture.
The Trademark on our web design and the Russian wording on the
marker in contrast to each design mysteriously like confirming the
similarities between two artist’s designs many years and many miles
apart as a humorous sign of hopefully something good can happen in
this venture.
The man’s hand is even shaped as the center feature on the Brass
marker as well as the outer and inside trim on both artwork.
Black Beauty Part 1!
I asked Jesus in a prayer if He gave me the idea of making a flying disc
or the desire to understand the idea. The next day I saw a butterfly on
the ground that was black and I immediately noticed its wings were the
exact same size and shape as the wicked wing flying thing! My last mold
we named black beauty because the rapid mold ABS plastic was black.
The Butterfly allowed me to pick him up and as I looked closer I felt that
God was conveying to me no more could I make this Butterfly then to do
anything without God’s grace, love and mercy. We can do nothing
without Him and all things were made by Him.
The day Joe Bellitti and I tested the Cad file programed first piece I saw
a Black butterfly on the grass that looked just like the photo here.
July 13th I brought Jackie Emanuel to Pine Banks in Malden, Ma.
I wanted her to see this phenomenon first hand on the field and as I got
ready to throw it, a Black Butterfly
That was the same exact colors of the original, flew right over us and
landed on the fence behind us. We laughed so hard and it felt magical
that we saw this Butterfly at that moment.
What a beautifully Butterfly! Known to be one of the rarest species in the
world, yet they must be prevalent in Massachusetts enough to see them.
This Butterfly is an answer to my prayer of getting the chance to take a
picture of the original style Butterfly in part 1 of the black beauty story!
Black Beauty Part 2, July 30th, 2013
In the morning of this day I prayed to God and only asked if Jesus would
make it possible for me to take a picture of that beautiful style Butterfly I
have seen at pine banks on a few occasions by myself and with Joe
Bellitti and Jackie Emanuel.
The original style Butterfly was the one I was hoping to someday take a
picture of for the Book.
The morning God answered my prayer and question about the gifts he
gave me and my willingness in the desire to be faithful.
It was not the first day I prayed this, yet I felt God did not want to force
this blessing to come by looking around all over for this Black butterfly.
The point is it happened this day and this butterfly landed right near me
and flattened out his or her wings and I took pictures and then the
butterfly flew away and I thanked God for such a beautiful answer that
touched my heart. Now here is Black Beauty the exact style butterfly I
saw at my house.
Of-course with God all things are possible!
Do you see the dragon on the Dollar Bill and the striking
resemblance to the patent drawing?
Yes, they only have two wings, we have the other two!
One day not so long ago, I was at the artificial turf field in Malden,
Massachusetts where I practice new throwing techniques enjoying the
fresh air watching the wicked wings fly across the field.
All of a sudden a thought hit me, “I wonder if there is a wicked wing
hidden in the back of the One Dollar Bill ?” Before I took the dollar bill
out of my pocket I knew it would have to be on the back-side and also
that I would have to fold it to see something wickedly cool.
I don’t know how or why exactly where the thought came from, yet out of
curiosity and good fortune I happened to have a dollar bill and I
immediately looked at the back side and folded in half and then I saw it”
Shazam” right smack dab in the middle of the four corners.
There it is, hello, I don’t know what it means, but it was the answer to
my prayer about how the design should look for the “wicked wing flying
thing” board game I am planning to produce in the future. At any rate
the children will love this story, which nobody can deny.
My true feeling is, it is God showing us His love for us, a very
mysterious and profound blessing to say the least. It can be simply one
page added to the book, the board game design I have been searching
for or just a wicked occurrence, which nobody can deny. Do you see
what I see? The outer edges of the left and right wings if you zoom in
and look closer you will see a Dragon with wings on the outer edges!
The cool similarities are very interesting to say the least and the
thought to me to even look! ~
July 24th, 2012
I felt curious to look up the words: “Wicked Wing Flying Thing”, to see
how it translates into Latin from English.
My wife Marybeth and our daughter Irina came up with the name.
My wife Marybeth happens to be born on Abraham Lincolns birthday
February 12th and I am a direct descendent of Abraham Lincoln on my
mother’s side of our family. My birthday also is the same day as
President George W. Bush’s, July 6th.
The Wonderful Translation of Awes!
Definition of: The Wicked Wing flying Thing™!
Celesta’s + penne’s + volatiles’ + res = Pennies from Heaven, flying in
an Event or in occurrences’, as an object, fact or circumstance of a
thing.
A word came to mind one day and it was “accrescence”, so I looked it
up and it wasn’t listed, so I looked up the Latin translation and lo and
behold it was there originally in the middle ages meaning “continuous
growth”.
By the way, I believe we have more than a Book here, don’t you agree?
January 6th, At a CVS pharmacy, I was speaking to Jackie Emanuel,
who I have known for over 40 years ago since High school growing up
in Melrose.
The topic we were talking about how miraculously coincidences that
have occurred in these adventurous happenings that have come to
our attention so welcomingly. She was already excited about the
stories I told her.
I told Jackie about how 17 years after my Dad Louis Ventola wished
and hoped I would invent something to take care of the family, it
happened since 1994 in April when he sat down under the tree at
Swains Pond in Melrose.
Then to make things all the more bizarre and fantastic to talk about,
Jackie said, “Oh my God, Jeff, my Birthday is April 17th.
The exact moment of sharing bizarre coincidences she shares another
one. I don’t recall exactly what day it was my Dad and I sat down, in
April and it was 17 years later 2011.
My Patents and trademark were submitted October 28th, 2011. I gave
Jackie a notebook with pictures of the wicked wing flying thing™.
When I met Jackie at Star Bucks, she surprised me by saying” Jeff, I
want to be part of this project and I want to pitch in $ 2,000.00.”
I was so happy and thank God for what she has done to help speed
up the process to complete the Cad file programs and the Video for
www.youtube.com . On top of this we will be able to immediately be
able to make the home edition versions which are working proto-
types ready for sale to drive down our other costs.
July 19th, 2012 I decided to change the strength and material of the
interior plastic from Lexan polycarbonate to something else stronger
and recyclable.
July 20th I read more into my E-mail from my new friend Ed V.
Wallace at NASA. The letter contains an array of manufacturers in
the field of astronomy, astral physics, NASA products, UFO toys,
new futuristic toys, games and science books.
I noticed that the Company www.lego.com invented ABS plastic
which is recyclable and durable. So it hit me and I thought: Shazam!
I was reading information to understand Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
(ABS plastic) which has no true melting point.
So it is perfectly recyclable. It is durable, light weight practical to
use for the wicked wing.
Then I went outside to have my coffee and I saw on the ground a
little square of plastic right in front of the lounge chair I sit in to
have my morning coffee and throw the tennis ball for my dog Juney.
I picked it up looked at it and brought it in the house to look up on
Google to see what it was and how old it was.
It turned out to be the first Lego design with the signature square top
that fits into the square bottom.
I noticed Lego uses ABS plastic and it is durable, low costing and
recycle.
I decided to upgrade from Lexan to ABS and then when I went
outside, not looking for a sign, it was right in front of me, the first
style Lego from the ABS plastic.
To me this was very cool thing to add to the book and I thank God
for this little story that is true yet sounds like something like a:
A Science-fiction comedy based on a true story ?
Or?
A true story that is stranger than Fiction ?
God works in mysterious ways!
This is said to be one of the rarest and most beautiful Butterflies on
Earth. All of Gods creations were created good. This just happens to be
the one that has become part of this wonderful true story.
This has been seen by myself, Jackie Emanuel, my daughter Irina,
Joe Bellitti and Maria Antonuccio at particular points in time
throughout this epic journey!
This block that I found minutes after researching ABS plastic is actually
a very rare block. Notice the top is square and also underneath it has a
square opening to lock into another block.
This is the original design of the LEGO ® Blocks that began in the mid-
1940s’.
Ironically and quite fitting, our Manufacturer at
www.injectedsolutions.com has done work with www.lego.com .
We have a Publisher with www.aborbooks.com that will be honored to
ghost write the story when the time comes.
Claire Papin at www.lightedpaths.org loves this story and is a gifted
writer of true stories and has been very helpful and willing to give us
expert assistance on publishing this story at the proper timing.
Funny how everything seems up in the air or waiting in the wings?
This Spice Bush Swallow Tail Butterfly posed for
me by stopping his wings from flapping and laying
still!
The Painted Surf board from Long Beach Island,
New Jersey that I kept for over 48 years!
In the year 1965 I Carved this Surf Board made out of drift wood that
washed up on the beach in Barnegat Light, New Jersey.
I was about 8 or 9 years old. The funny thing is, for some strange
reason I still have it, 48 years later and I recently noticed, Oh my God!
The surf board color and horizontal grain lines are clearly similar to
the graphics done by Alex Pham; the Ricky Ticky Sticker is so like the
Wicked Wing
You might ask: what are the wicked cool coincidences about this
picture!
The peculiar fact that I kept this piece of drift wood for 48 years since
1965 has become a very rewarding keepsake.
I found it washed up on the beach at Barnegat Light; Long Beach
Island, New Jersey, where my mother’s family grew up.
I painted it blue with the famous Ricky Ticky Sticker in gold, which
depicts the same colors as the Wicked Wing packaging. The same
brass color as in the Zero marker.
The grain of the wood and the blue color is very similar to the
ocean waves pictured on the packaging back and the width of the
surf board fits perfectly in the photo. Are these just coincidences?
Two totally separate projects with John Graney, 18 years apart, fitting
together like a puzzle the same exact day I picked up the piece of plastic
cut off and the new mold from John!
This is the computerized version of the mold John Graney designed with
Gregg Landry at www.surfacesolutions.com .
It is an exact replication of the Cad files that will be implemented at
www.injectedsolutions.com
We did a field test to make sure the program files match the
aerodynamics in the manner of the spirit of how we believe this should
ultimately perform. Testing the flight performance of the wicked wing
flying thing™
From the Cad file program is the most important test to confirm the
sound design to make the tooling mold.
Field testing the Cad file program model surpassed all our hopes
fantastically!
Beyond our wildest expectations’ it performs fantastically more
gracefully than expected, reaching distances of 160 yards with accuracy
even into strong wind which can interfere in both distance and accuracy.
The triangle is the most curious part of this page because it is an 18 year
old cut-off I found at my mother’s house raking leaves the exact same
day I picked up the mold from John, June 20th, 2013. It fits perfectly in
the mold as if it was meant to be. The table hockey games were a pre-
requisite of this epic story that John Graney actually helped me with in
the template design 18 years ago.
We have the table hockey game cut-off, the actual 1994 penny I found 4
days after looking up what pennies from Heaven means, the surf board I
made in 1965 and the original style Lego Block ® I found minutes after
looking up the history of ABS plastic.
This specific date is the day I prayed for wisdom to feel the hope was
still alive for this entire project. I felt I really needed Gods’
conformation to know that moving forward with this idea was important,
worthwhile and really what God wants me to do for some kind of good
purpose or to drop everything and stop digging this hole while fooling
myself into thinking this is what I should spend my time on as my gifts at
work to help anyone especially my family.
Well that day an idea came to me and oh no here we go again was my
first thought, but the idea seemed to quickly unfold into something more
meaningful and practical than simply making a flying disc toy.
The idea consists of putting a line with a floatation device and having it
be an attachment for all of the Wicked Wings to be an alternative
lifesaving rescue float for swimmers, scuba divers and ice rescue.
The confirmation was these basic realizations that I began to notice:
There is such a device approved by the www.uscg.mil called the
www.resqdisc.org that is approved by the www.uscg.mil , flies 100 feet,
with a line test of 500 Lbs. and buoyancy of 16.5 Lbs.
I emailed the Coast Guard in Washington, DC and the Chief I contacted
told me what the requirements would be as an improvement
advantageous towards approval of the Coast Guard as a rescue device.
I also received information on the test labs to have it reviewed for
approval.
I met two Coast Guard service men, a father and son that are working
on this device to not only get approval but to help sell it starting with
www.westmarine.com and www.ronjonsurfshops.com .
To me this wisdom I believe is a greater purpose for this over-all
invention. The facts of it being able to fly low and into strong wind at
long distances makes it a very practical approach to a serious
commitment to test this to refine it for approval.
The approval would open up a whole new market, anyone can effectively
throw a line to someone in need whether on ice, open water or in
mountainous terrain just to name a few purposes. Our goal is 200 feet of
range, 1,600 Lb. test line and 20 Lbs. of buoyancy.
The information added to this journal will clarify our success on this
device or explain why it is not worth pursuing due to some unforeseen
boundary. Time will tell?
Evolution, Revolution or Destiny?
First there was the LP vinyl record, then the CD. Then the ‘1929 “Ford Model “A.
Now we have the Lamborghini SUV truck. The Wright brother’s plane, now the
Stealth Bomber. The Frisbee Pie platter, The Frisbee and then the Aerobie and Oh
look, something new! The Wicked Wing Flying Thing!
2009, I lost my job, along with the other 11.9 Million
people in the United States.
Out of the Blue, January 3rd, 2010, love came rushing in with an
awakening from above in a Sermon as told by our Pastor Joel Hubbard
at www.vcc.org !
It woke me up! Really, I’m not kidding?
2010, I needed to find a full time job in my field of Electronics, that I
have been accustomed to since the 1980’s or I needed a career change
of some kind ?
January 3rd, funny how, on the third day, my Pastor gave a Sermon that
changed my way of thinking and my quest with great energy and
excitement and soul to do something more than just get a job.
It “Starts with a Dream “January 3rd 2010, sparked like fusion through
all the confusion for me to ask God,
“What can I do, what are my gifts, how can I help my family and those
around me”?
I felt God answered my prayer pertaining to naturally and gracefully,
what my particular gifts really are and even how I can affectively
nurture them with God’s help to make them turn into something real.
worthwhile and exciting for all to see and even be part of the joy in the
fruit of the labor could be.
The gifts that I felt the natural tendency to act upon soon became using
my imagination, then sculpting an idea that came to me, “What if I put
wings on a flying ring, what would it do?”
The gift of desiring to design things, sculpting skills, and a network of
fellow colleagues I could contact for help and advice, the innate
curiosity to ask anybody anything until I find the right answer. The
burningly passionate drive to break free of the doldrums life was dishing
out. The desire to help people with a heart of generosity in the mist of
realizing the more I can make this work, the more I can be practically
freer to give, especially if it can fuel itself with others being able to use
this technique creatively as a template example of a conceptual fund
raising Event show held anywhere it is collectively organized. Fund
raising can be done in Event stadiums and artificial turf fields happen to
be so mysteriously and conveniently, cropping up all over the world.
We needed a product designed to be more advanced than the
competition = I sculpted models from clean clay and refined the molds
with Bob Shure at: www.skylightstudiosinc.com to make the Wicked
Wing at www.wickedwingflyingthing.com .
I made an array of variations in the hopes of designing it with the most
optimum aerodynamics for it to
fly the best it could in all practicality within the distance of a 100 yard
Football field.
1. We needed a Patent Attorney = I found Janine Geraigery Wallace
at www.jdlawpc.com .Trademark ®, Provisional Patent
application, Design Patent US Design Patent No. D678, 959,
Utility Patent submitted. We needed a back-up Patent Attorney and
Janine referred us to Adam Bruno at www.baystatepatent.com
2. We needed Sheer Quality Inventions LLC. we found Patrick
McLvoy at www.trudeaumcavoy.com
3. Funding = Together: Marybeth, myself, Joe Bellitti, Mike & Marie
Price and Jackie Emanuel have become the founders.
4. We needed a Design engineer = we found Gregg Landry.
5. We needed an architect and original technical drawing = I met
Steve Wychorski.
6. We needed a graphic artist = we found Alex Pham.
7. We needed to make Videos to demonstrate how this flying disc is
thrown and what it can do in the air: we found Kevin Davis at:
www.kevindavisphoto.com .
8. We needed to record this story from day one on the original ideas
which we did, January 3rd, 2010 = We have “The Adventures of
the Wicked Wing Flying Thing” & a Publisher at
www.arborbooks.com
9. We needed a Cad file expert = we found John Graney at
www.surfacesolutions.com .
10. We needed to test the market response in sales = we sold 85
proto-types in less than 3 weeks casually, one sale at a time.
11. We needed to find out why the Wicked Wing was pulling to
the right when we threw it occasionally? = God heard our prayer
and clearly showed us why? A simple law of aerodynamics that
came to mind to understand by bending the outer edges up or down
slightly to adjust the air flow as it spins through the atmosphere.
12. We needed to make it safer and learned to make it softer and
discovered it made it fly over and above all our expectations.
13. We needed affirmation of commitments from buyers to be
realistic in what we were getting into = we have this list : =
www.eventnetwork.com ( 6,000 gift shops ),
www.newburycomics.com ( 28 stores ), www.armybarracks.com
(8 stores).
14. www.learningexpress.com ( 109 stores),
www.ronjonsurfshops.com ( 12 beach surf shops),
www.hobbybunker.com with a connection to www.amazon.com
www.greatbrooksports.com with Mark Vinchesi, www.modells.com
(145 sporting goods stores ), www.llbean.com ,
www.westmarine.com ( 300 stores ), and growing.
15. We will see exactly which and who becomes our buyers for
distribution as God’s grace permits. Our hope is for it to grow to
the point of God’s will and a level we can handle without being
overwhelmed with something too big to control keeping our focus
on the purpose of helping people to create their own fund raising
Events to increase the affectiveness of expediting the enjoyment of
giving and gathering funds in a new way that is more a pleasure
than a task.
There are over 100,000 retail stores, toy stores, gift shops and
sporting goods stores to tap into to make this publically available.
We need presently here, an injection mold manufacturer to make the
first run of 1,000 finished products. I believed we found the perfect
manufacturer and I was set on a particular Company being the
factory that would produce the finished product.
I was not even looking for a better bargain that the estimated quotes I
received to this point. This is when I felt a great blessing occur that
next week after praying with a friend at Church that told me, “ God
wants to bless you, but what do you feel you need.”
John said, to make a timeline of goals and pray at each step as they
are next in line. I was not looking for a new company to at this point.
Then when the quote came the next week from the Company I felt set on,
ironically they decreased our expectations forcing us to seek new quotes.
I contacted 5 Companies and in the next 2 weeks only one stood out as a
great fit.
They are at www.injectedsolutions.com and the owner Joe Kirschner is
helping us make this dream finally come true!
Joe bellitti and I met Joe Kirschner, February 10th, 2014 and focused
on the design details to make the molds and first runoff 1,000 Wicked
Wings using Elastomer rubber and ABS plastic.
The first 500 will be Yellow, the second 500 will be White.
The hardness we will test will be 40A. If it appears to be too hard we
will make them 35A as long as it does not compromise the flight
performance or tear strength.
We will field test one finished product right out of the mold, to visually
verify exactly what we have available for worldwide distribution.
We need to deliver purchase orders as they unfold so we can grow
this into something wonderful to clearly be an inspiration to everyone
with a dream.
We need additional molds as we grow in volume of sales.
Just the beginning, yet, all the preliminary work is over, now we fly!
Only with the grace of God and that is all we need!
A toy broker of Frisbee ®, two marketing agencies and one licensing
Company collectively costing us well over $12,000 dollars all advised us
yet without the full confidence to really be a stabilizing force for any of
this to be at the point we are at presently. They did inspire us through
their experiences of what it would take granted! They also partook in the
adversity to discourage us for whatever reasons whether by sheer false
pretenses or lack of vision. We all just right along kept considering this
as the learning curve and as blessings in disguise knowing it is all by the
grace, mercy and faithfulness of God that can help any venture worth
the challenge.
They all basically said, “We need a patent, a trademark with a Logo, we
have Janine Geraigery Wallace, Adam Bruno and Gregg Landry that so
magically helped us, we needed investors God miraculously provided
the willing love of Jackie Emanuel, Mike and Marie Price and the
Bellitti family as well as the numerous friends and my wife Marybeth
and my family that we needed their unconditional love and support.To
design our website we found Alex Pham a highly gifted graphics artist.
Dan Shure the son of Robert Shure our sculpture at
www.skylightstudiosinc.com designed the first website at
www.wickedwingflyingthing.com packaging labeling we have Linsey at
www.minutemanpress.com , pricing of the worthwhileness of this being
practical to pursue we calculated to understand we have a great
potential for success.
We will need a profit and loss spreadsheet, a Video presentation. We
plan to make many in the future with more intensity as our goals to go
viral.
We will need point of purchase displays for certain stores and gift shops,
we need an idea to make this product a way for fund raising
organizations to host their own fund raising Events with a Box Set Kit
available nationwide.
We need a strong manufacturer, which can meet the supply and demand
at the highest levels. We have www.injectedsolutions.com that gives us
the basic necessities for us to grow and get a handle at the highest levels
of quantity and quality.
They said, we need to advertise, we have to have the proper 2D
drawings and 3D Cad file programming to make the mold tooling and
quote accurate estimates counting all the costs. We have John Graney at
www.surfacesolutions.com , you need distribution of stores, gift shops
and retailer’s willing to supply purchase orders.
We have over 6,605 stores, gift shops and sporting’s goods retailers
right from the start upon the first run of 1,000 Wicked Wing Flying
Things ®.
The popular quote is said , in making a new product is to make a better
mousetrap (a product that stands above the competition), we need a
recording of the journal of our process of the steps to plan and move
ahead to the focused goal of success.
We have “The Adventures of the Wicked Wing Flying Thing” and a list
of publishers to choose from when the proper time is at hand practically
speaking.
We need to make something exciting with a deeper purpose than
something bought that sits on the shelf in stores and then on the shelf’s
at people’s homes (like stuffed animals or dolls ).
July 3rd, 2014
At this point we desperately needed to find an answer to the last
manufacturing problem of how to procure the polycarbonate ring
adhering chemically to bond without compromising the strength and
stability of the ring or adversely affecting the flight pattern that we know
we can achieve to be the greatest hand thrown flying disc on the Planet
in accuracy up to 100 yards.So this morning I prayed to God our Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus to help me to find a Company that had the
answer to our problem.
Well after calling a few Companies without luck, I called the technical
department of www.smooth-on.com and the advisor said to contact a
Company large enough to be willing to share and provide the proper
material from their experience. This was the answer and the Company
that supplied the answer is now delivering a sample batch of a product
called thermoplastic elastomer. The Company is www.polyone.com .
The 14th of July we will test this product and I hope by the grace of God
we can move forward.
This product is a God send because of how many incredible ways it
helps us.
1. It will chemically bond to the polycarbonate.
2. It will cost less than Elastomer rubber.
3. It does not need to be heated past 400 degrees Fahrenheit while
the process is running.
4. The hardness can be reduced to 40 A or less if needed.
5. There is a broad variety of colors it can be made to look.
6. It floats in water.
7. It will allow the weight to be between 190 to 195 grams which is
our original target weight.
God has clearly blessed us in not only all these obstacles these so called
experts presented to us, but even the seemingly and quite totally
impossible tasks God blessed us with in many creative ways to keep us
looking to Him knowing He is our provider no matter what and no
matter who! We all want to make love our greatest quest and Gods’ true
will to be done.
This to me is an example of a project that could only be possible with
the countless blessings of God our Father and our Lord Jesus with a
small group of people that choose to help with their own God given
gifts to push this forward to become something useful in purposes of
good.
We will focus and pray we can move beyond this page in the timeline of
future goals we have in front of us to keep this dream alive to
increasingly be a worthy cause that is exciting to see evolve.
Even though this has been very challenging at times, God always kept
the hope alive, even when at many times I felt like giving up was the
right thing to do, God helped me to look at things in wiser ways to
move forward.
To me more than what can be help financially for us as it can, this
whole project, how my Dad, Louis Ventola dreamed to have me
invent something to take care of the family and prayed with me under
a tree in hopes that God would answer us as he did, it showed me the
love and caring with a fantastic group of people that has richly
blessed my life in knowing all of you.
This wild quest brought me personally closer to God and the people
around me in ways that without this wild project and answered prayers,
it never would have been a story in our lives, but thanks be to God, the
Father of us all and our Lord Jesus, something’s’ coming and we all
can’t wait to see what it can be.
This is just the beginning; in faith, hope and love!
The most beautiful part of this wild story I don’t want you to miss is how
all these incredibly gifted people all are pulling together with excitement
and in their own God given gifts’ in a worthy cause to make this dream
come true, which reflects love back to God, the Father of us all.
I am looking forward to getting to the point of a finished product. I am
feeling the love and support from everyone involved in sharing how God
is so close and in tune with even our dreams and personal lives more
than we could begin to fathom.
We do this in joy to the Glory of God and to help as many people as
Gods’ love, grace, mercy and loving kindness will bless.
This is my testimony of what has happened, what we hope for and what
can truly continue to come true only by the grace of God’s love.
They say God works in mysterious ways, well here is an example of His
loving kindness!
Our greatest thanks forever goes to: Our Lord Jesus and all the
wonderful people that are making this dream come true!
