At the 4th National Walkalong Glider Conference at the St Louis Science Center SciFest 2010 event, St Louis Missouri, USA, Tyler MacCready discusses his family ties to aviation, his father's competitiveness and how he developed the commercial walkalong glider. The "free advertising" refers to the "flying free" episode of Scientific American Frontiers TV series:
