Ayaka and the Art of Witchcraft Ayaka was a young girl with a passion for all things magical. She had always been fascinated by witches and the art of witchcraft. Ever since she was a little girl, Ayaka would spend hours reading books about spells, potions, and the mystical world of witches. She would often imagine herself flying on a broomstick through the night sky, casting spells and making potions to help those in need. Ayaka believed that witches had the power to bring about positive change and heal the world in their own special way. As she grew older, Ayaka decided to delve deeper into the art of witchcraft.

Expert model aircraft builder Otto Dieffenbach has a creative array of flying machines in his hangar — a Tardis, Snoopy on his doghouse, R2D2, and more. But none capture the spookiness of the autumn season like his flying witch — a life-size sorceress flying on a broom high in the skies.
Otto debuted this particular build in 2013, with videos of it flying over a bright full moon above the San Diego skyline, and a full build log for those who might want to replicate the craft. The witch largely consists of flat Depron pieces held together with an internal frame, with linkages to control lift (via the cape) and steering (via the broom “bristles”). Propulsion comes from a brushless electric motor with a 10-inch propellor. Flying through the sky, the 3D effect is convincing — Halloween is here.
While you might be tempted to jump in and create your own, be warned that his notes state “This is a difficult build and should not be attempted by a newcomer to the hobby. There is a lot of wood work involved. You may want to find a friend with superior build skills if you are a newcomer.” However, Otto also sells as ready-to-fly version for $1850 on his site.
Otto tells us he’s working on a Mary Poppins build now. Keep your eyes peeled for that soon.

Reviews for "Ayaka's connection to the elements: The foundation of her witchcraft"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really excited to read "Ayaka and the art of witchcraft" because I love witchy books, but I was really disappointed with this one. The plot was incredibly predictable and the characters felt flat and one-dimensional. I also found the writing to be quite repetitive and at times, it felt like the author was just trying to fill up pages. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for an engaging and well-written witchcraft story.
2. Mark - 1 star - This book was a complete letdown. The premise sounded so interesting, but the execution was just terrible. The writing was full of clichés and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. The protagonist, Ayaka, was incredibly unlikable and I found myself not caring about her story at all. I struggled to finish this book and definitely regret spending my money on it. Save yourself the disappointment and find another witchcraft-themed book to read.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Ayaka and the art of witchcraft", but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was off, with the story dragging in some parts and rushing through others. The world-building was also lacking, leaving me with many unanswered questions about the magical system and the overall setting. The romance felt forced and lacked chemistry, making it difficult to invest in the relationship. Overall, this book didn't live up to my expectations and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
4. David - 2 stars - "Ayaka and the art of witchcraft" was a disappointment for me. The writing style was simplistic and lacked depth, making it hard for me to connect with the story or the characters. Ayaka, the main character, was portrayed as a powerful witch, but her actions and decisions were often inconsistent and didn't make sense. The plot felt predictable and didn't offer any surprises. Overall, the book lacked depth and complexity, making it a forgettable read.
