In writing about Birdman competiton there are many special terms, which is hard to explain in plain English and Japanese. We make much effort to explain them in easy words. We do hope that you will be interested in Birdman Competition and realize there are many people who support the competition in many ways. Thank you. We learned it's very difficult to convey.
